    I'm really hoping for at least one more big announcement, but have no inside info regarding this unfortunately. 

    Yeah, Thursday really needs one more big name for Main Stage, but I'm losing my hope...

    Last year this day they revealed a timetable, but unfortunately it doesn't look like we're getting one today.

    Isn't it a bit too optimistic? We're nearly at 40 international acts (excluding DJs) and I thought it's max what Open'er does.

    Hoping for sth for Thursday too, but they could just move Metro Boomin to the main stage. It'd be better than having MGK close it, even though I'm gonna spend most of that day in the white tent anyway.

    Also announcing someone big now wouldn't sell too many tickets, eh? Hotels and flights were already expensive in late winter/early spring when we booked stuff, it surely got worse.

    Last year we had 43 international acts, that's why I hope for 3-4 more.

    I don't get their habit of announcing so late, but in the past they announced e.g. Noel Gallagher or AJ Tracey in the second part of June.

    we are better off without Lana. Seen her most recent tour.

    Its very boring.

    May go see SZA but maybe the 2nd day will be my rest day before going hard at Queens, Arctics and Kendrick.

     

    yeah, 2nd day is the weakest one so far, will only check SZA, Ezra Collective, and maybe a bit of NBT. Hopefully, they gonna add something nice for the last Main Stage slot (Fred Again.., I'm looking at you).

    On the other hand, it looks like Friday and Saturday will be quite busy!

    Polish hip hop/dance act or international dance act? Or other. Is it usually dance/hip hop that closes main stage

    Hoping for some international name, but who knows... 

    The fact that Metro Boomin and NBT are playing Tent Stage, makes me think they have some big act to close the stage on Thursday.

    Who do you think we are waiting on. Who you speculating? Main stage on second day and tent/alter on other days.

    We also need at least one name for Main Stage on Friday and Saturday. From what's around and available, I'm hoping for Fred Again, Rosalia, Sam Fender, and Japanese Breakfast (perfect for Wednesday on Tent Stage). Other acts that are around: Kygo, Burna Boy, Rag'n'Bone Man, Stormzy, Aurora, Niall Horan, Loyle Carner.

    Hopefully, we will find out soon!

    Reckon Queens will get a 90 min slot?

    If not we should start a petition.

    How did similar acts do in that spot, nick cave etc?

    Yeah, let's hope so, can't see any reason why not. If I remember correctly, Nick Cave's slot was 75 minutes at least, maybe a bit more. To be honest, there weren't many acts in the history of Open'er similar in size to QOTSA who did not headline or co-headline.

    Hi everyone, can anyone who camped before share about the experience? safety, location, rain...

    Hi! I've been camping since 2011 and I've never had any safety issues and never heard of any. The campsite is located around 5-10 minute walk from the Main Stage. There are several F&B options on site and a small market with basic products (bread, water, beer, drinks, breakfast products etc).

    also are there any big names left to be announced for some of the days?

    Yeah, on average every year there are 13-15 international acts on Main Stage and this year we have only 10, so definitely something's coming soon. Also, we should expect 3-4 more names for Tent Stage (especially on Wednesday).

    and how are the nights? are there parties after the concerts or that's it?

    Regular concerts end around 2am, but there is Beat Stage with well known DJs who play until 4am. There are also several areas powered by festival sponsors and partners (Heineken, Desperados, Jägermeister) where parties also last till 4am.

    Any tips for the festival

    A few things that come to my mind right now:

    1. When planning your trip to the festival, you need to remember that it takes around 25-40 minutes (depending on the traffic) to get by shuttle bus from Gdynia Station to the festival and then around 15-20 minutes to get by foot from the festival bus stop to the Main Stage (+10 minutes to the Tent Stage).

    2. The festival area is quite close to the sea, so it can be cold and windy late at night, even if the weather was good during the day.

    3. There are designated areas where you can drink alcohol drinks stronger than 3.5%. For example, you can't take a regular beer or a drink with vodka near the stages.

    what to visit nearby

    If you have enough time, you should definitely visit Gdansk Old Town. There is also a very nice beach near the festival (Babie Doły). You can get there by the festival shuttle bus and then 5-10 minutes walk.

    Could you tell me a bit about the prices at the festival?

    Last year, 400ml of beer was around 16 PLN, a drink of Jägermeister and Red Bull around 28 PLN. Food is around 30-45 PLN.

    Labrinth's performance was one of the highlights of Coachella livestream. He brought out the biggest guests of the festival. Billie Eilish for weekend 1 and Zendaya and Sia for weekend 2.

    yeah, and you can say based on social media responses that this announcement is a big success for Open'er. It seems that waiting so long with finalizing the line-up can sometimes have a positive outcome.
