thanks started listenign - came across a song called faces of light, sounded v good.

think they are the sort of band you need to watch live as they have some strange undertones.

 

They are a solid live act (if you can see past the ridiculous LA styling

Jay Buchanan kills it on lead vocals!

Anyone know whether there's somewhere nearby to buy some beer crates?

There was an Aldi in Leuven, we were picking up beers for 33 cents a can.

You shouldn't have trouble finding a supermarket in Leuven or Haacht. Be sure to buy cans though, glass bottles aren't allowed on the campsite.

I don't really like beer all that much and mostly drink cider. I know Belgium is famous for it's beer and cider isn't really big over there, will I be able to find crates of strongbow or the like in the supermarkets in Lueven?

You can probably find it in the supermarket on the main pedestrian street in Leuven. 5 minutes walk from the station.

You should try Strawberry beer, there was loads of it in Belgium when I went  hopefully a good alternative if you do struggle to find cider

We found Strongbow quite easily in the supermarket in Leuven last year

You'll find cider in most of the supermarkets here. There's also a small supermarket in Werchter city (close to the church) but I don't recall where exactly. Not sure if it's open during the festival though.

Anyone think we'll be getting another announcement today at all or will it be more intermittent from now on?

Aren't we done? The timetable is out....I guess maybe another act or 2 for The Slope but everything is all but complete!

[Dan12345]

They said they were done when the full line up came out and then added another 3 bands last week ....

[Will Holt]

They responded to somebody on Twitter after posting the set times with this when asked about The Slope. I think bar any cancellations we're done.

Are you flying? We flew last year and put three tents in a big bag... you may need like a big gym/sports bag to get them all in, failing that I found something in my spare room a quilt came in once and that did the trick  then you can just pay for one hold luggage between you and check that. We managed to get big hold-alls through as hand luggage too so had all our clothes/sleeping bag with us.

We're gonna take the eurostar, less hassle with baggage.

Fair enough, that answers that.

Is it normal to have hour long gaps between bands in the barn and Klubc for RW?

They are located 2 minutes from each other so the music alternates between them.

Thought about it, but I'd still need to get a train to the pickup point and I don't fancy sleeping on the coach through the night.  We're going the day before instead and got hive camping so we can pitch on the Wednesday night.

Looking like the best option for our group too but getting to the Manchester pick up point sounds like a pain, especially since they won't tell us the timetable yet...
