I'm in a similar situation, I'm coming from Ireland, my mate can't go because he lost his job, but I had already booked my flight and my ticket. I'm hoping to make some new friends myself! I was at a festival before on my own (kind of, I went to oxegen last year and the girl I was with at the time had to go home after the first night, but I stayed and ended up having a great time). You'll never be lonely at a music festival! ;-)

I'm sure The Killers would give them a run for their money, at least Placebo can rock a bit.

We are two Irish guys getting into Hahn on Friday at 12.00, will need to make a mad dash to RAR, how long will it take?? Taxi best option?? How much?? Anybody else in the same predicament and would like to share a taxi??

Friday seems to have the best lineup by far so don't wanna miss a thing. Might sleep all day Sunday the way things are shaping up (actually have considered arrivin on the Thurs and goin home on Sunday!!)Mighty forum by the way, word up to everybody involved.

Placebo, the most bland band at the festival!

I am going via holland. At this rate squig im not even sure if i am collecting dave, or if he will make his own way there. Its all abit uncertain atm, i am looking for work, and i want to arrive monday night/early am Tuesday, prehaps get the 10Pm, arriving in dunkerque at 1am tuesday morning, then flat out i will hit the ring at 05:30-06:00 Tuesday.

Looking at maps the way i go is I enter .nl near Geleen, go via Heerlen, and exit near Bocholtz

All of it is on A76 (E314 euro route)

What kind of van are they talking about?

But that makes totally sense of course... If I get my mom's car the thing solved itself, anyways, then all I need is people who actually wanna go in the car with me :-)

If not I'll have to be creative :-/

thats any van, even opel astra size! so long as its under 2.5m tall, then it goes up another amount. Its because they are classed as commercial vehicles, so they charge more.

In responce to those posting e-mail addy's in here, i would replace the @ with [at] and the dot with [dot] just so your inbox does not get flooded with spam ;)

NEED WORK SOO BADLY!

    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
    • That Wednesday Razzmatazz slot is one of the best/prime slots! 
    • If they fancy chucking something together last knockings, i'm up for it! 😄 Got to get a cat sitter, but i'm 95% there
