clasher Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Last year it was five gigs a day, I think all of the bands were already on the lineup, bottom half of the poster (Slutface, Sundara Karma, Amber Arcades, Amazons, Cigarettes after sex, Andy Schauff, Stuff., Canshaker Pi, etc.).

Its located near the entrance of stage 2. As the above says, it's mainly new smaller bands who are already on the bill doing intimate/accoustic sets and interviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone who has been know how this works? What size of band? Is it on main stages etc? Cheers Last year there was an unexpected dj set by Soulwax on stage 4 at 15 or 16 pm, then they played with live band on stage 2 in the evening. Bks communicated it an hour before by a whatsapp newsletter (I don't remember they used the traditional social media but I'm not sure).

arteet Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Mogwai and Slowdive announced with some others. Nice. Assume that’s probably the line up done now other than stage 4 stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tijn Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Lovely announcement, might have convinced me to sell my friday ticket and buy a weekend ticket. Slowdive and Mogwai returning after their great shows at BKS '14, the best Dutch indie act and tons of great, smaller names with Jay Som, Nilufer Yanya and Vagabon.

Hadn't heard of them before but liking the sound of Jay Som and Vagabon, will be checking them out if clashes allow (which isn't likely considering how strong the lineup is!)

Yeah I've gone from having enough to justify the flight to a full schedule to oh shit I'm worried about this clash finder now! Like Marlo Stanfield said, sounds like one of them good problems.

mark_CapeTown Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Does anyone know how much a train ticket from Amsterdam to Tilburg is and if it can be booked at the train station on the day?

We're making the trek from Cape town, South AFrica €18.30 from Amsterdam Centraal, €19.20 from Schiphol Airport. There are no seat reservations possible on Dutch domestic trains, so not much point in buying in advance. Better to buy from a ticket machine at the station, as you pay a slight premium for talking to a real person.

Nicklord Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Why not enter a facebook group and buy a group ticket with random people? I used that in NL every time and it's way cheaper. 20€ for like 70 minutes train ride is too much Edited March 14, 2018 by Nicklord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trufflehound Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 One thing to watch out for with the group tickets is that on Mondays to Fridays you can't travel during peak hours (i.e. 06.30-09.00 or, perhaps more relevantly, 16.00-18.30).
