Rock Werchter 2012

[thetime]

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked...but what's the best option for accomm if I'm NOT camping. I'm pretty chilled out and usually love camping, but I will have been backpacking for a few months already, I won't have any equipment etc, and also I like to actually sleep at night otherwise I get a bit psycho. Are companies like No Mud a decent option, or should I look for my own bed in Leuven or something? The less hassle the better.

Thanks!

depends how much you want to spend really, as all the cheap/mid price hotels in leuven have sold out. Never used nomud so unsure what the reviews will be like, best to google it.

I think Thursday will always struggle what with people working

[august1]

It's completely official

[karelaanzee]

is it in the public domain though?

[edfirth]

Thanks for that, I might end up just camping I reckon, after reading this thread. Might leave all my stuff at a Left Luggage at a station? Is this dodgy or a good service?

Interesting to see a lot of you keen on Wolfmother...I thought they had fallen off the face of the earth given they get no airtime/publicity down here in Aus.

What's the rep of Temper Trap like? They, on the other hand, are worth it

Wolfmother have fallen off the face in Europe too, but they're pretty good live and the first album was good as well so I guess people are just remembering those times.

Temper Trap are FAR bigger here at the moment, but mainly because Sweet Disposition was huge. I liked that album all round. They're average live though, mainly as the singer can't sing in tune, and the new single is rubbish. Pity.

[edfirth]

I saw them twice that summer and both times I thought the band were solid but the singer was... well, awful. This was a view shared by others that I talked to as well

[ampersand]

Ive seen them twice, I agree pretty average but most definitely not the worst Ive seen

Anyone noticed the Chase and Status pic on the front page is actually Calvin Harris?

[thetime]

Well pukkelpop lineups here and think werchter on a whole is much better for my tastes.

Although gutted they got bjork! The others like foos, black keys, 2 door cinema club are playing leeds so see them there.

pity bloc party are there though and not at werchter..

Just wondering who the headliners are on marquee and third stage now for the sunday as really really want to avoid rhcp....If not will get them another chance.

[edfirth]

Tallest Man and Stone Roses only ones I really want on there, and didn't expect either anyway

Calvin Harris can't sing live either

[august1]

pukkelpop stolen 4-5 of the names I wanted

Calvin Harris is woeful singing, but im pretty sure hes given up and just DJ's now
