it's been announced 2 weeks ago...

not that bad but not really good as well

I hope to see better names since it's one of the festivals that I consider

to go this year

[5co77ie]

it was announced on the 3rd January according to the website.

[amfest12]

on this website maybe

it is on frequency facebook page and site since December 20

[chewbacca]

i've been to every frequency since 2009, 5 years in a row. like every year since 2010 i keep telling myself i won't go this year, because the lineup is getting worse and worse and most people there are just unbearable. let's see if i'll end up there again this year

Hi!

looking at the lineup made me wondering about few things

* the names on the day park and night park are separates like it is a different festival although it's the same dates so can anyone tell me what does it means?

are each acts in different location?

* I understand that this year the festival will be 4 days so does the first day (13/8) will be a full or short day of shows?

* when do you think the next announcement will be?

tnx

yeah! day park and night park are different locations, but they are not that far apart. you can walk (i dunno... 15, 20 minutes) and there are free shuttles for festival pass holders. daypark-headliners end at about 1 a.m., nightpark-acts start at about 10 and end sometime between 4 and 6, i'm not sure when exactly

* I understand that this year the festival will be 4 days so does the first day (13/8) will be a full or short day of shows?

if it's the same situation as 2 years ago (and it probably will be), it will be a "short day": only the main stage, no night park, maybe 4-6 bands

* when do you think the next announcement will be?

no idea. but don't expect anything too huge from now on

the same here. many years ago, they had very good line ups, very british, they even had manic street preachers as a co-head what made the festival special, but the last years the line up wasn't getting stronger. i was there 4 or 5 times, always had a good time, but maybe this year i won't go. too many acts and don't really want to see. there are other festivals at the same weekend (v-festival, pukkelpop, lowlands), so i think there is a fight for the bands...

according to the website some of the names that already been announced will play the first day (13/8) and most of them will play the second day (14/8) so doesn't it means that there are still two days to fill? which means at least two headliners?

nah, you got that wrong. the first 4 play the first day, the others from 14. to 16.

* does the ticket includes camping in it?

yep

* does the ticket give you a ticket for train/bus for the festival and back?

nope

* beside the lineup do you recommend this festival? how is it?

not really. the site is nice, the crowd is very, very meh. but i've still been there 5 times, it's not awful

[amfest12]

tnx

I'm not quite sure your'e right

on the lineup page under each name there is it music style and date which probably means which day they will play

and there are only 2014-08-13 and 2014-08-14

let's hope it's true, we'll see..

[amfest12]

yes I see that

but still on the lineup page there is no mention for the 15 & 16 acts

www.frequency.at/lineup

on the other hand in here it's written that snoop dog for example will play on the 13

while on his website it says he'll play on the 14

well that's weird

still hope for some intresting names..

chewbacca's right! they haven't announced the day the bands will play yet from thursday to saturday (apart from Biffy Clyro, Bastille & Macklemore on Wednesday), that's why there is overall the same date in there. they will change that from 13./14.8 to the day they play later.

but i think chewbacca's not right with the crowd! austria is very nice and people as well.

new names for daypark:

LILY ALLEN * RUDIMENTAL * THE KOOKS * NOFX * JAMES HERSEY * DAVE HAUSE * MARMOZETS

nothing exciting for me

so I guess I'll wait next year..
