To me it seems that the lineups have been getting worse each year

IMO its good every other year, even digit years! I recall last year being good, the one before a little weak and 2008 excellent

does anyone know where to get a timetable for when the bands are on? I've seen that they're split onto what stages they're on now, just wondering whether coldplay and disturbed are gonna clash on the saturday...

Anyone able to give any advice on driving to Rock am? We usually fly but this year Ryanair have decided to get a bit silly with the cost and cant find any cheaper alternative so just going to drive I think. Just wondering if theres anything I should be aware of or keep my eye out for when getting there or is it just drive up and get pointed where to park? Also can you choose where you park or do they fill up one car park then start on another?

best tip: be as early as you can. seriously. car parks and camping sites are spread out over the area and the later you get there, the further away you'll have to park and camp. also depends on which direction you're coming from, if you come in on a road from the east...the chances of you parking somewhere over on the west part of the track are...well...oyu know what I mean.

all other infos will soon be online on the rock am ring site, they always have detailed parking and camping site plans to download which are a great help.

use the eurotunnel, fill up with fuel of Luxembourg cus its cheap.

Aim for a direction North, South, East or West and it will become obvious, the ones miles away will not open until the others are full, but several open at the same time

If you have a choice, dont come from the A44/E48, ie Koblenz direction as that is where 90& of the traffic is
