Siahn Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hi everyone, I've booked tickets to Open'er this year and just after some advice! Was leaning towards staying in a hostel, however being female I'm a bit hesitant to share a room with random guys haha. And it would seem that there are absolutely no hostels that have female only rooms. So my only option at this stage is to get a single room, but that leaves me by myself and not able to really meet anyone! Does anyone have any suggestions on a good place to stay where I can hang out with other festival goers? I looked at camping there but I'm travelling from Australia so can't really bring a tent with me and not sure if anywhere rents them. Also any tips in general for the festival! And even travel tips for Poland if anyone has been before Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannahdavison Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 If I were you I would try and find a way to get a tent, even a cheap single one to buy once you arrive maybe? If you are going alone the best way to meet people is to be in the campsite and you will certainly make friends. My friends and I are travelling as a group of girls from the uk but have booked luggage space to fit our tent. If not, I think hostels would be fine and I'm sure you could find someone female in a mixed room. Good luck finding a place to stay x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 The final headliner is wide open really, no good guesses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siahn Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks! My main issue with camping would be that I wouldn't really be able to see much of Poland. If I'm at the festival the entire time I'm there, I won't really experience the culture or visit anywhere other than the actual festival. Unless busses run frequently to and from Gdansk? I would have thought most of the busses during the day would be going towards the festival, not away from it. All the websites are in Polish so I can't understand any of it haha.

fightoffyour Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm not sure that travelling to and from Gdansk to the festival every day is the best idea if you can help it, since it would take longer than it normally would with festival traffic. I'm only speaking from what I've heard though, someone else may have a better idea or experience of this. Gdansk, Gydnia and Sopot is the triangle of 3 cities in the north of Poland that are popular to visit. It may be worth trying to see them before or after the festival if you can.

If you can sacrifice one day of festival, you can spend the whole day in Warsaw for example. Domestic flights are dead cheap. You can have return flight from Gdańsk to Warsaw for 4 pounds, which for you i think it will be 7 AUS dollars. As far as last headliner is concerned, i reckon it might be Ellie Goulding or Pharrell. Try skyscanner.net if you interested in cheap flights not only in Poland, but all over the Europe. Edited April 18, 2016 by pete76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannahdavison Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 That's a shame, feel like they've got a lot of the line up to fill and haven't had an exciting announcement in months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yep same here but there are a lot of big slots to fill so there should be some great additions this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Actually this announcement is going down well and sounds like it will be a unique and interesting performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannahdavison Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 It does look a lot of fun tbh. Do you have any predictions on who else could be announced? By the look of other European festivals new order could be likely? And kendrick Lamar cancelled his show last year? Also Jamie XX maybe?

Hannahdavison Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Is the idea that the full line up will be out by the end of the week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 That's the idea, the last on Friday if what they said actually happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this link/photo There's a possibility of Two Door Cinema Club, Santigold, Future, Iggy Pop, Skepta, Pixies, James Bay... Jamie xx only can do it on Wednesday, New Order are gonna be somewhere else during Open'er. Kendrick cancelled his show last year, but came back later to play festival in Krakow, tbh... I wouldn't expect him to be bck so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdansk, Gydnia and Sopot is the triangle of 3 cities in the north of Poland that are popular to visit. It may be worth trying to see them before or after the festival if you can. From what I've researched, trains run from Gdansk to Gdynia and then the festival have free shuttle busses from the Gdynia train station to the festival. I'm assuming traffic won't affect train speeds haha. From what I've seen, Gdansk looks so much nicer than any other surrounding city so that's the major draw for me. And also the fact that a lot of accommodation closer to the fesival is sold out by now. I've tried and failed to find anywhere that hires camping equipment nearby. And not very keen on purchasing my own. I think a bit more research is in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannahdavison Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Do you reckon there will be any uk artists announced today or just all on Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Probably just Friday, there should definitely be non-Polish artists to be added, 12 in fact when compared with last year and only 3 more Polish artists when compared with the number from last year.

Some comments suggesting it was meant to be Prince headlining I think they were trying to book Pharrell but he asked for too much money and it didnt go through. But there is announcement coming next week, Maybe it will be Pharrell after all or someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
