What do I need to know?

[bekimo]

Like it says, what to I need to know in order to like survive Sonisphere!?!

I have not been before (as in I did not go last year!) and as a Sonisphere-Virgin (ooooh yey, Im a virgin again) I have no idea what to expect with Sonisphere and I have heard some mixed stories. Some people say last year was wicked. Some people say it was pants.

I cant even begin to work out the Sonisphere website it hurts my brain!!

But basically, do they have entertainment/curfews/village? Where is campsite and parking in relation to everything?? (Cant be worse than Download) And when does stuff open?

Much thanks xxx

The bands on the main stage finished around 11pm (and started at 11am) plus last year 2 bands played in the Bohemia Tent after the other bands so live music goes on until 1.30 - 2am so its definitely possible Gallows and FFAF won't hit the stage until after midnight.

If naked ladies are your thing then the Fuel Girls came on after midnight too and there was a rock/metal disco too all inside the arena.

I had no problems getting in or out of the site and the car park wasn't too bad especially in comparison to that I had to walk 45 mins from the car to the camp site at Glastonbury last week!

It's amazing!

Bands finish at 11

Camp site isn't far from stages

Stages alternate so you see every main stage band

Bohemia plays on after main stage bands (my main regret is i didnt go bohemia tent)

There's lots of fun stalls with some pretty funky clothes.

Toilets aren't as bad as you think they would be, but still be prepeared for festival toilets haha.

THE ATMOSPHERE IS THE MOST AMAZING IVE EVER EXPERIENCED AT A FESTIVAL! (make sure walk around the campsite and arena saying hi and meeting lots of people, great fun!)

On friday all the bands start 6pm

You can find the food prices here http://assets.sonispherefestivals.com/foodprices/menu.pdf expect around £2 a drink £5-6 a burger/chineese/anything else

try and bring as many friends with you as possible, as it's much better with freinds!

And most importantly, enjoy yourself!

Oh also, if you haven't got tickets.. make sure you use an FMC code and you get invited to a party at bohemia on the friday... you get a free beer too! well you did last year anyway, preferably use mine but if you got a mate whos FMC use theirs.

Hope i helped.
