Rock Werchter 2012

[august1]

depends on how your getting there and what cities you come across but youll be able to pick up the gear in any good city/town

I imagine a tent for 2 plus 2 sleeping bags wont set you back more than 60 euros max

Sorry, my English isn't perfect, but I was talking about some place at the festival where I could leave my huuuuge bags and forget about them for 4 days) some kind of cloakroom... I know for sure there will be something like that but how much money I will spend on it is a mystery for me

There are lockers but not the size you require.

Solution could be leave your luggage in left luggage at the airport/train station.

[edfirth]

I hope you're not disappointed. In 2007 they spent the whole day getting drunk with Kings of Leon and Eddie Vedder came on stage nearly falling over and chugging a bottle of wine. They were horrendous. Eddie's collaboration with the Kings was good though!

[edfirth]

That is part of what makes them great! I can't imagine them ever being horrendous. At Reading when they played he was completely off his face but it was brilliant (although the crowd was really crap)

[thejimbola]

I'm not a massive fan anyway, so it might be one of those cases where you had to be a fan to enjoy them. The really good live bands don't need that though, most people are impressed with the likes of Muse, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters and Coldplay (surprisingly) live even if they aren't fans. That's why they're the biggest bands in the world I think

[edfirth]

Muse and Foo Fighters I agree with. Kings of Leon and Coldplay are 2 of the dullest bands I have ever seen live! I would say that Foo Fighters are probably the only universally accepted band in music at the moment. Could play any festival and a majority of people would be happy.

Coldplay were fantastic last year.

Only saw a bit of pearl jam and were pretty good. The heat(40c) and drinking all day, i just wanted to sleep.

But its all about the cure!!!

it was a joke man, i'm sorry to cause offense

[august1]

I wish they would announce the shortlist for the 3rd stage name comp

[cheeseisamazing]

Like your cure liking.

No real clash that I've seen. Everyone speaks English. Campsites are normally random as people just turn up and camp

[thetime]

^^ yey

Anyways i keep having and more questions, sigh. the sad truth is the next few might make me sound like a typical English tourist...

is there a particular campsite which has a higher percentage of English people/english speaking people (aussies)? -don't get me wrong i love meeting people from other countries but it would be nice to have some 'easier to talk to' people and i'd rather make sure i'm in a campsite with a few English people than not ask and be in one with none, if you get my meaning

Also, do most of the staff speak English or french? (i'm just curious as i know were in the Flemish part of Belgium and the last time i went there they didn't particlary like me speaking french to them) so as a greater question do must people in Flemish Belgium speak english- like in Holland? i took it as well from earlier questions that the Belgians are quite friendly towards the English?

Finally, more as a curiosity culture question, do a lot of Walloons (french speaking/southern Belgians) come to rock werchter- and if they do is there a clash?

[edfirth]

To kind of back this up, I went to Hurricane last year and all the Germans spoke English to me and I got on famously with them. All the trouble I saw was caused by English and I was embarrassed to be dragged along with a crowd who shoved their way through the crowd during Arcade Fire

[thetime]

beautiful, just beautiful.

we tried camp next to english people last year and it turned out they were the most boring people ever, bad decision

[thetime]

Although if its like 2010 when holland got to world cup final, expect lots of banter how shit england are haha.

great memories, perfect year especially weather.
