Katpaps Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Excellent! Hope it's soon... just out of pure curiosity! I am looking at who is playing Download and Reading/Leeds and trying to think who they are likely to add to the bill. Maybe Slipknot, Tenacious D and Dillinger Escape Plan?? I would love it one to be Rob Zombie, but I reckon thats unlikely. Looking forward to the weekend!! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katpaps Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Me too!! I saw White Zombie at Donnington in 95 (I think) and then after at Brixton (again, I think.. memory! ). I would love to see him perform again! It would make my weekend! I can see all the names you mention as possibles too. RiP/RaR seem really varied (which is a good thing). I am primarily going to see Rage Against the Machine and the other slightly more metal bands, but I love that there are alot of artists/bands there that I normally wouldnt listen too. I find that I usually come away from festivals with a few new bands I am interested in. Sigur Ros would be good too.. very different and ambient, but would make a welcome addition from me anyway They are playing Connect 08, so maybe....?? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdudess Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I just ordered my tickets tonight!! How long did they take to arrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katpaps Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 It is going to be ace!! Mine should be here sometime this week then. I was a little worried as my address on the website was a little strange. Think it should still get here ok though. I hope.. I have created a facebook group for anyone in the UK who is going over to Europe this year.

LagartijaMick Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I just ordered my tickets tonight!! How long did they take to arrive? I dont know about RiP, but at Novarock last year we had to give a 5 euro deposit and we were given a bag to fill up with rubbish. We exchanged the bag for the 5 euros on exit. Anyone know how much drinks were last year? and whether there was a cocktail stall?? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normbo Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I don't suppose anybody who's been before knows how far the coach station is from the festival site? My group are heading to Prague at 8am on the Monday to continue the festivities, and need to know how long we need to leave it, and whether it's walking distance.

kappa99 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 What has made rock am ring so much bigger than rock im park?RaR seems to sell out quicker, most Brits who go to Germany go to RaR over RiP etc, is there a reason for it?

pete84 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 me and a couple of mates are heading to RiP, does anyone know when the campsites open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squig Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I woiuldn't call Nuremberg a small town (like half a million people living there), but other than Avnon has it about right. There are far less rules at RaR (glas bottles for example), the campoing grounds open earlier (a week in advance as opposed to a day (thursday) at RiP) and the audience is a bit older and less annoying (doesn't matter that much if you go to a hotel).

sweetdudess Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 There were definately some cocktail bars last year. Also the odd stall selling wine. Lager was mainly becks, becks and becks although there was one stall selling some "interesting" beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nijckevans Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Is it me or is this thread the best source of English speaking Rock Im Park info online? With that in mind, how easy would it be to get from Nurembrug airport to the festival site? How would I go about that, would it be via the city itself? Train/coach/bus etc?
