Rock am Ring 2009

[jimbot272]

Hi. I'm new here and I'm looking for some help/advice!

i'm flying to Hahn from Dublin and renting a car. I need to pick up some camping gear along the way, does anyone know of a camping store on the way to Nurburg from Hahn? (I want to avoid koblenz if possible)

Cheers!

I am afraid the only sure bet would be Koblenz. Why do you want to avoid it?

I'll google for it later, but I would not keep my hopes to high that you'll be able to find some store. Maybe posting the question at Ringrocker.com may give you more answers, some people live in the area.

Hi Squig, any news from MLK?

It is possible to have a new announcement before the end of the week?

And what about Entwine, Hardcore Superstar and Starsailor?

Thanks!

Hi Squig, I want to drive straight from Hahn airport to the festival site, so I'd rather avoid Koblenz as it would be quite a big detour. I would also anticipate heavier traffic if driving from Koblenz to RAR than if driving direct from Hahn to RAR. Would I be right?

I'll try Ringrocker.com.

Thanks Squig!

[Squig]

damn it, ringrocker.com is all in german, I can't understand a word of it!

[evilhasnever]

type ring rocker into google. the search results will come up and beside the link for the page it will say Translate this page........click that and off you go....

......you dont need it anyway go to far right hand side............ it'll show a bit of a list of the confirmed bands...below that is the rumoured bands

[jimbot272]

At the end of the FAQ theres a link to the English section of their forum. It isn't as informative as this thread, but there are much more regular RaR goers there.

[evilhasnever]

like i said......... google 'ring rocker'............ translate this page...........

http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl...ocker%26hl%3Den

that is the link for the english thread......... there is however no new posts in it since like 2007 so i would give it a miss

[Squig]

Well, the German section is very alive. For specific questions like that I am sure the chance of getting a good answer there are higher than in here.

[evilhasnever]

lol well it was a link to the page now its taking you to some mad page....

From that click community tab at the top

then click forum overview at left hand side and woala click english thread.

then you need to scroll down a bit to see what posts are there. i thought it was just the two posts at the top but if you scroll down theres more

[jimbot272]

Yeah I tried that.... you must be seeing something different with your google settings in the UK, because there was no translate link for me when I googled it here in Dublin. Wierd. Anyway thanks for posting the link!

Yeah it takes about 90mins and the countryside is beautiful! You'll arrive through Mullenbach near C camp...

Wittlich and Cochem are the only 2 place I now ove that have anything in them, you are right to avoid koblenz if you are driving as its and extra 50 odd miles, but how about you email the tourist board and we can post the answer within the FAQ?

[Superdan]

Ok folks, i've had to make the call to choose Friday/Satday over Satday/Sunday. Judging by previous years i reckon that'd be the safest bet. Looks like a bigger night on the friday.

Any thoughts to the contrary??

Friday certainly goes on longer, so there are more bands playing. The previous years the German headliner also always performed on sunday, since there are only international ones this year as far as I know that won't mean a thing this year, though.
