Hurricane / Southside 2009

[Squig]

You can buy energy drinks much cheaper though, only Red bull is so expensive. doesn't matter if you mix it anyways, certainly not at a festival.

[Sparticus]

weird, we all looked all round and couldn't find the cheaper alternative, i'll play it safe and come with a few bottles of tesco kick this time round lol.

[sheroman]

Brill, so ill save money and have more fun on the thurs nite! Ill stock up on kegs and vodka (luvin the 5e price tag :angry: ) Riteo, will take all dat great advice on board! I really cant wait!

Are any of you's goin, Sparticus, Squiq?

Any idea's of who else will be playing at it...?

[Squig]

I'm going, 5th year in a row (may be my last one for a while though, we'll see).

it's in German, but some fans made a rumour list (green is confirmed, red won't come): http://hurricane.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16573

@sparticus: Did you go to Lidl or Aldi? they'd have it cheaper for sure. If you were trying in Scheeßel it is possible they either sold it out or didn't even have it to make more profit. I'll try to avoid buying stuff in Scheeßel, just to be on the safe side. Copming by car thjough, so that makes it easier.

lidl n aldi too cheap, but i do go sometimes

[Squig]

Expect new bands on Monday.

[choadus]

It is basically impossible to buy canned beer in Germany, because they introduced a 25 cent refund per can to reduce waste a few years back.

[Createur]

Yesterday a radio station called 1live rumored that Oasis will play the festivals. They talked to Noel before Oasis went on stage in Düsseldorf.

But I think they got something wrong. Oasis are playing in Slane Castle that weekend, seems pretty impossible for them to show up because of that.

Perhaps Oasis will be confirmed for a German festival in august.

Rumors for Monday are Ska-P and Travis so far. Boring as f**k.

[Squig]

I'd love to see Ska-P, I will see them tonight anyways. I think it will be more than those two bands.

Travis is meh.

[choadus]

I went in 2008 and had a great time. My main thoughts about the festival:

----> It was absolutely baking hot so bring one of those tetra pack juice boxes and fill it with drink or else you cant get it through security.

--> The festival didnt have a moshup atmosphere and the crowd never really got theat excited which was unusual when compared to others.

--> Expect shed loads of idiots burning their tents on the last night in huge fires! not to mention portaloos getting destroyed etc!

--> In one of the main camps there is a strange box lik,e building in the middle, dont camp near that because it was used as the pissing wall by everyone who couldnt be arsed to go to find the loos! Nasty!

--> sound quality at the festival is excellent

--> beer is overpriced

--> speaking german does help! espec with the ladies

--> Make sure you go in to the duracel tent as that is where they play heavy metal and rock and everyone goes crazy!!! its awesome, one bloke climbed to the top of the roof (15 foot) and crowd dived in to everyone, sadly he put himself in hospital as no one caught him!)

--> Good festival! Not a stunning lineup normally however, but depends on tastes... i had fun!

[Squig]

Ska-P is great, nick cave watchable, ting ting meh, ? for the rest.

[sheroman]

Will there be many more bands added....bigger acts like?

[Squig]

There will be more abnds (70-80 in total), dunno about bigger acts. Looks like Die Ärzte, KoL and Nick Cave will be headlining, and Kraftwerk and Moby are likely to headline the 2nd stage. Fettes Brot will play before Die Ärzte, Franz Ferdinand could be the 2nd Blue (2nd) Stage headliner. That leaves 1 blue stage Headliner and two coheadliners for the green (big) stage.

We'll see. I still hope for Nine Inch Nails or the Cure coming and Nick Cave not being Headliner.

[Createur]

There will only be 60 bands in total + a few contest-winning bands no one ever has heard of.

Nick Cave is headlining, no doubt about it, as are Die Ärzte and Kings of Leon.

Rumors are: Death Cab for Cutie, The Streets, The Thermals, The Flaming Lips...

[sheroman]

Ah jesus, dats a bit shite tbh!! hopefully there'l be better bands than dat added, ah well......the cure wud be good tho !!

[Azzabaijan]

Hurricane is seeming a bit lackluster compared to last year. Radiohead, Foo Fighters.

It still pisses me off that every festival is getting Kings of Leon to headline.

[Squig]

Agreed about KoL. Die Ärzte are bigger than the Beatsteaks though... Just seems like there really isn't much on the market for that time. And bands like Moby or Kraftwerk are quite rarely seen, at least in Germany, so they are still making some of it I think.

[Azzabaijan]

Could have gone some Nine Inch Nails to headline. It does seem hard for Hurricane, all the bands that are on Rock am Ring are basically cancelled out.

But I guess different tastes for different people.

[RobertSVW]

FAITH NO MORE to be confirmed
