does anybody know: when do gates open and are you allowed to bring a small backpacker to the festival site? 

Yes you will but they might look what is inside.

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!

Long non EU queue at Brussels - thanks Brexshit - but the weather is lovely for now and my Mrs saw the grounds from her window seat, all feels very real!

Taken us two hours and we still haven't left the airport 😅

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 😞

Gates at 12, you can bring a bag onto the site but no alcohol, can always sneak some in though

There are ATMs at the station. I used a UK card this morning.

I think I talked to one guy from Royal Blood in the queues to the flight to Brussels (I didn't ask..). 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.

Will there be a stream from the festival? 

[49Lawson]

They’ve just confirmed the Metallica show is happening on Insta

App says there is one

 

Also, fuck rain lol we're sitting in Klub C hoping it will slow down by the time Pixies should start 

[49Lawson]

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

[BenG92]

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! 

[Nicklord]

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

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 😁

[BenG92]

Is there a shop near the hive that sells crates or is it just a trip to Leuven? 

[djd4]

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.

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!

[Padjeq]

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

True, been saying that for years. Everyone I ever chat to from the UK says the same.
