Hurricane Festival 2011

[Morbo_85]

We'll be a Scotsman an Englishman and an Irishman (possibly weraing shite shirts).

I prefer warm Buckfast personally. Warm Jaeger goes much more sticky. If you put your drink under your tent it should stay cooler

I'm leaving this afternoon! Heading to Amsterdam first ;-)

I'm going to make an executive decision and propose a meeting place of 6pm on Friday (appears to be a bit of a gap there other than Chaoze who no one has mentioned. This may stretch to 10 past depending on the length of Kverlertak's set. I'm watching them and know a few others are too. So don't worry if there's no one there at 6 dot on) at the Converse stall in the main arena (which is on the map). I shall wear my best pink and purple tie die top. I'm 6'4 and big all round. Difficult to miss

Iries Revoltes finish at 6.25pm and I'm popping over to see Kaizer Orchestra straight after that so I won't be able to make the meet up sadly! I'll be easy to spot though, ginger hair and a load of freckles,I may as well be a walking irish flag!

Leaving tomorrow whoop whoop so excited!

I hear the weather is a bit rubbish, can someone confirm?

[Squig]

Yeah typical Northern German weather, which means it's only slightly better of what you usually have in England, Ireland or the Netherlands...

Missed the posts of meeting up - would have loved that! Still found some of ya all the same! Ticket Boy, Kiwi, and Lil' Dave = loved partying with ya boys!

Home since late last night...so f**king depressed its over!!!

How did everyone get on?

Thought Foos were the best live show I've ever seen...followed closely by Kasabian's set, Gogol Bordello, Flogging Molly, and All Time Low.

f**k the Vaccines for not bothering to show!

Enjoyed the Hives music (thanks to whoever recommended) but the lead singer is such a prick. Really put me off! "I am your leader, I am your champion"

Already making arrangements for Hurricane 2012!

I think this is a start to a beautiful friendship.

We all have stories to remember and ones that we forgot.

If we all share our snaps then we just might keep the Hurricane festival torch lite until 2012.

Never found anyone at the meet.

Highlights were Trentemoller, Kasabian (surprise), The Chemical Brothers, Eels, Letlive, The Hives and the one song Cloud Control set. Amazing atmosphere and awful weather. Made a load of German friends and had beer given to me all weekend

[hillsy945]

Likewise, didn't knowingly meet any of you but was still awesome all the same! Loved the idea of Flunky Ball!

Festival highlights for me were The Subways, Elbow, Friendly Fires, Kaiser Chiefs and Irie Rèvoltès - who were awesome!

Feeling it being back at work today...so worth it though. Getting back to Hamburg-Lubeck airport for 9am was a mission on Monday morning though!

[edfirth]

Haha the culture shocks were great. Like their unexplainable love of Irish music, St Pauli and Flunky Ball

[Janesays]

FlunkyBall was brilliant alright! Although it was the culprit for us missing the entire Friday lineup bar Arcade Fire!!

Anyone else have about 20 Jack Daniels t-shirts!?!?

Loved the mad fecker running the camp shop - Miaow!

The Germans were so amazing - pure fun and really generous. I saw no fights which coming from an Oxegen perspective was amazing!!

How do we share pics?

[Janesays]

Flunky Ball!!!

[edfirth]

Yeah, the only trouble I saw was caused by Brits. Typical.

[hillsy945]

Really? I didn't even see the slightest hint of any trouble...what happened?

[edfirth]

Well I met a group when I got a bit lost (people didn't turn up to meet me) and they dragged me right through the crowd for Arcade Fire after the gig had already started, p*ssing off hundreds of people and making it extremely embarrassing for me.

Then on the last night I saw some Brits jumping on a table and breaking it and then my Dad heard some Brits jumping on a tent full of girls leading to screams/tears

[Janesays]

WOW!

I saw no bother all weekend...

Then again...I was feeling very merry indeed!

[edfirth]

Not difficult given the beer levels!

[Janesays]

putting hurricane pics up on facebook now...so depressed! This time last week was camping out at the JD bar for Gogol Bordello!

Are you all on FB? We should stay in touch for next year!

[A-Rob]

glad you people had fun

Sadly I could not make it this year, but hopefully next year I will return, because it's truly a great festival
