Hey guys, coming to werchter for the first time this year and I have a few questions.

Firstly I have two travel options within my budget, either fly from Manchester to Brussels south airport or catch a coach from Leeds to Brussels that stops outside of the Brussels Nord station. The first option is cheaper and obviously a lot quicker, but will I have to catch a conjoining bus/train to a train station in Brussels to be able to reach Leuven then werchter or will I be able to get a train from anywhere close to the airport to Leuven? If not how much would the conjoining train be to one of the stations in Brussels seen as though I'm assuming the festival ticket wont cover the cost of two train journeys just one?

About the option of flying, will the station from Brussels Nord have trains going straight to Leuven or will I have to catch another? I've tried researching about this online and just want to make sure what I've found out is correct from someone who has possibly taken a similar route and get a definitive answer.

There are direct trains from the airport to Leuven, only taking about 15 minutes. If you take a train from/to the airport you'll have to pay an additional fee on top of your free ticket though (about 5 euros). There also are direct trains from Brussels Nord to Leuven, the intercity train will barely take you 10 minutes.

Thanks for the info!

This has probably been mentioned before, but if anyone is staying in Brussels on the Wednesday night, Franz Ferdinand and Sparks, (FFS) are playing there. Tickets are 35 euros. I got four last night.

I'm quite glad The Prodigy aren't playing Glasto as I know for a fact it wouldn't be on the Saturday which would give me The Prodigy on Other Stage vs The Who.

It's still The Chemical Brothers on the other stage :D

I was trying to say that because The Prodigy would be on the Sunday opposite The Who it'd give me a shit choice. Sorry if the wording said different.

No worries chief. I'm just gutted I'm not going to glasto . Things you do for mates !!

That's an amazing shout!! Anyone know what the scope would be for getting back to The Hive after its done? Would busses/trains still be running?

Ancience Belgique has an early curfew (10pm) so you'll definitely be able to catch the trains back to Leuven (last one is at like 11.30-12). Not sure until what time those festival buses are going on Wednesday though.

    • RIP William Orbit.... https://youtu.be/eVdR2RfXGUw?is=TgwCLV2USTDSTVru
    • While i whole heartedly agree with both these statements on a personal preference level -     ive come to reluctantly accept that bland is always popular and il normally just show myself to the other stages where the better times are to be had during the Pyramid headliner slots.  
    • Sun's out today. Can feel the hills calling. Time to ramp up the energy levels. I've been easing my way in gently the last 2 weeks with the likes of Hayley and Lael Neale and Cut Worms and Maria Somerville etc. Time to unleash some Shame, Mogwai, Place to Bury Strangers and especially Wednesday and Mannequin Pussy.  Also, just back from a brilliant night in Belfast at the Fleadh Ceoil so anything with a fiddle or a whistle or a squeeze box is drawing me like the Sirens. Madra Salach with the volume up. COME ON!!
    • My Orange car park ticket turned up today. The envelope looked like some kind of junk mail offering me a loan so I nearly didn't open it!
