Floyd_Ams Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) The day has arrived! Finally!!! Safe travels everyone and get ready to get wet especially if you plan to see Pixies 😉 (heavy rain is expected between 17:00-19:00 and moderate 15:00-20:00). We 'll have a great one! 2 hours ago, branvan said: does anybody know: when do gates open and are you allowed to bring a small backpacker to the festival site? 12:00 and yes Edited June 30, 2022 by Floyd_Ams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 1812 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Does anyone know where you can withdraw cash with a UK card in Leuven? Couldn't find an ATM that would accept and cash back wouldn't work for me either 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gates at 12, you can bring a bag onto the site but no alcohol, can always sneak some in though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's them, he told me he think they are playing tomorrow in Werchter but I look for their tour and it said that they're supposed to play in Poland tomorrow. Anyway, I looked in RW website for the pictures of everyone that plays tomorrow but none of them looked like the guys I spoke to. edit:can't get rid of the emoji😎 Spotted these guys again, they aren't Royal Blood for sure, sorry about that.

49Lawson Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 RHCP cancelled Glasgow tonight due to “illness”. Might be worth keeping an eye on, at least if they don’t turn up you have a definite headliner in The Killers on the same day at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG92 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Amazing first day despite some rain - us Brits should be used to that by now! Saw almost everyone we wanted to see but Klub was full for Cigarettes so we watched First Aid Kit who were great. Pearl Jam absolutely tore the roof off and I doubt anything else will come close for us. Roll on the rest of the weekend in the sun shine! This festival puts all others we've been to to shame in terms of how easy and available everything is, going to spoil us on others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Damn, I already spent way too much time refreshing twitter to check if Metallica is going to play. Now I have to again lol Cigarettes after sex were half empty after 10 minutes, I think security should tell people to go forward and not just stand in the back. They won't let you through like they have some amazing place but then you pass the first 10 or so rows and you have enough space to run around. I hate that on the stages with only one entrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that on the stages with only one entrance We found that several times in The Barn yeah, it's so strange. We arrived a little late for Cigarettes and there was a pile of people outside trying to get out of the rain, then it really came down and everyone broke into a run to the Barn 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djd4 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) I've seen some people walking around with pint sized beer cups. Where is pouring those? Pearl Jam were amazing, Eddie sounded fantastic. Better than the 2018 show imo. Edited July 1, 2022 by djd4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the places is right across the entrance of KlubC (around the corner from the merch stand). What a performance by Pearl Jam yesterday! Probably the only band of their magnitude that is so consistently good every single time I’ve seen them! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padjeq Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Look for the beer stalls that say ONLY BEERS. They've got the full pints. There's one on the right side strip as you come through the entrance Edited July 1, 2022 by Padjeq 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
