Rock Werchter 2012

[thetime]

Is Werchter as renowned for being ridiculously muddly like some of the British festivals (Leeds etc.) or will I get away without taking my walking boots...?

Just been looking at booking the free train ticket. But don't know which station to choose!? Is anyone else getting the train from Brussels international airport? I don't know whether to pick

BRUXELLES-NAT-AEROPORT

or

BRUSSEL-NATIONAAL-LUCHTHAVEN

Confused.com

Any ideas?

Doesn't matter wich one you choose, it's exactly the same airport. There are 2 official languages in Belgium you know, first one is French, second one is Dutch.

Other times have changed too. Jack White seems to clash with less of Temper Trap now and Beirut with less of Deadmau5

Def room to see some of M83 now after Mumford which is good

Just a quick FYI, ticket I had for sale is now gone. For face value of course

[cheekyrich]

Anyone want a ride direct to the site, via Porsche and Eurostar? Leaving Thursday morning, returning Monday afternoon.

Cost (which includes Eurostar) will be about £125.

I'm 35, male, live in Parsons Green in London. Going with mates who are also taking a porsche, but we're in 2 seaters. Little convoy. We're in a soft top so if the weather's good will be perfect.

Email me at mostoflife@gmail.com if interested. Payment obv will be in advance (given risk of someone just not turning up etc).

Cheers,

Rich

Can anyone fill me in on any potential problems buying from 3rd parties? Planning on going as a bit of a last minute thing, can't quite work out from what I've read if it's ok to just buy online from someone, or whether there's anti-tout measures in place like Glasto. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys

Thanks to the legend that is guyfawkes, who very kindly sold me his ticket at face value

Anyway it looks like i'm going to have to go on my Larry, Which actually i'm really looking forward too, I usually end up going with quite a crowd of friends and i quite enjoy a change- and also usually end up sending half the festival hanging around with random strangers anyway

I was wondering however if it was possible if i could camp with someone else from efestivals? I don't want to impose myself on anyone but it would be quite nice; more importantly i know what festivals can be like and i don't really want my stuff in the tent getting robbed, safety in numbers and all that

Anyway i'm a 20year old male student, been to plenty of festivals and done plenty of camping. I have a nice little tent and i'm happy to bring my guitar (although i'm really not that great, maby i shouldn't bring it...)

reply or Pm me

Thanks

This thread has made for an interesting and very helpful read First time going this year and flying from Liverpool on the weds evening. If I get into Brussels at around 8.40pm does anyone know what time I should get to the site? It didn't even cross my mind about putting up a tent in the dark lol Thanks

how many people roughly do we have on here going? would perhaps be good to have some sort of meet up.

the only problem with camping is we have no idea where we will be camping until we hit the station at leuven on thursday morning.

ps, can't believe they've changed the times AGAIN! need to fix my clashfinder again. hope this is the last one!

[ampersand]

Would be good to see the new clash finder, cheers for wipping it up

i thought the time was trying to sort out up some sort of meet up for the Wednesday night, maby a Facebook group might not be a bad shout to organize it?

but yeah, i know people aren't going to know exactly where they're going to camp, but they'll probbaly know roughly when they're arriving etc and a few texts easily would allow me to find someone/a group at a place or a tent

haven't actually booked travel yet anyway

Eurostar! managed to grab one on Wednesday for the 10:57 train, get in to brussles at 2:00 so hopefully rock werchter by 4?. On the way home i'm having to bunk in Brussels for the night as could only get another £33 ticket for the 3rd (but hey a day in Brussels sounds fun). I looked at all the prices and worked out eurostar wasn't much more for me, it takes 2hrs, plus the four year old inside of me wanted to go on it .

while i'm posting does anyone know how easy it is to upgrade from regular camping to XL??
