its a 15% volume drink, quite sweet and the green is sour apple, the red was raspberry if i remember correctly. Its similar to Sourz, but cheaper and sold by the major supermarket chains in the UK.

We found it extremly good to stand around talking, and passing them around

Its ment to be drunk in shot form, but its easy enough to just sit there drinking from the bottle.

It was that 70%-type drink I think, but it had had dried chillies sat in it for a good few days....

Wow, what a weak package. My worst fears are coming true.

Some nice bands there, no must sees, nothing,a bosultely noghting special.

Camping site, here I come.

[mt96djc]

I'm guessing we've pretty much got the full line up now? it would be nice if they added just a couple more bands there that were 'must-sees'...

[evilhasnever]

hmmm nothing spectacular, a few alrighties... quite poor actually compared to other euro festies lineups

[Irishrocker]

Has RAR become a victim of its own success?

With it selling out last year and potientally the same happening this year have they decided to make a bigger profit by saving on big name bands?

I loved last year but I wont be heading over this year, maybe next year tho. The line up just doesnt grab me. The campsite & people are great but there are just better line ups around Europe.

[Azzabaijan]

Do we know who the headliners are going to be? I have maybe Killers maybe Slipknot, but I don't see a headline band announced in that lot.

[FenellaJ]

Hey there, my first RaR this year and I'm going North Loop too - very excited! I'm ecstatic to see Biffy, Slipknot, Killers, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Prodigy, Placebo - the line up suits me fine.

I noticed the website today says the ticket price goes up on 1 April, anyone know why? I may be reading too much into that...

Ticket prices gradually go up the closer it gets to the date. It was 125 euro back in Jan some time.

[mt96djc]

I was hoping for 1 other headliner but the trouble is there doesn't seem to be anyone available...check out the picture that Squig posted a couple of pages back.

The only big, currently touring rock band that I can think of that isn't either busy that weekend (like AC/DC) or simply 'don't want to do it' (GnR) is Iron Maiden...

Don't be too dishartened just yet, thats only 68 bands so we should have another 20 or so yet to be announced yet. Youd never know what we might get

[Superdan]

MACHINE f**kING HEAD!!!

Just made my day week month year decade LIFE!!!

[Squig]

Updated the FAQ with the new Line up and also added more news on ticket prices...

[Superdan]

When can we expect a final lineup with who is playing what days??

[Squig]

Just a few weeks/days before the festival actually starts. RaR is always quite late with stuff like that.

[JoshBosh]

we had a good early leak last year with the times on. it was in a pdf

Best idea is to keep your eyes on the websites of the bands playing, they sometimes release their times.

[Superdan]

Ok, had a look and from what i can see (or make sense of!) from these bands websites (as of right now), lineup is as follows;

Friday:

Marilyn Manson,

Dragonforce,

Flogging Molly

Saturday:

Slipknot,

Prodigy,

Korn,

Sunday:

Billy Talent

more to follow if a can be arsed, or anyone feel free to take over...
