Open'er festival 2017

[gregory]

Just booked my flights and ticket for this! Also hoping for Arcade Fire as I chose this festival over InMusic in Croatia. Fingers crossed.

Prophets of Rage announced for Friday, Main Stage.

Prophets of Rage - just announced. Really great line-up so far.

[LiamMcMillen]

G-Eazy just announced. First dud announcement for me. Liking the frequent announcements though.

Arcade Fire just announced for Thurs at Rock Werchter, would happily take them on Fri at Open'er

Did they announce Justice today, or just share their video?

That's only their video, but it's like 3rd or 4th post about Justice so I guess there are going to be announced sooner or later. 

After RW's announcement, the chances for Arcade Fire are now even higher.

Hi,

we just bought ltickets to Open'er and now we are dealing with finding the place to stay for festival.

Maybe someone can comment based on their experience if Sopot is ok for place to stay during the fest - isn't it too far  and will there be some kind of transport during the night to get back after the live acts?

We didn't opt to stay in camping due to the fact that alcohol is not so allowed there and in this case the camping looses its appeal

I think it would be pain in the ass to travel back and forth to Sopot, it will definitely take you more than hour of travel one way. You have to walk a lot because the festival area is huge, wait for the bus and then take the train to Sopot from Gdynia. It doesn't seem long but there are big crowds, even thoug the organization of buses is great it has limitations. I would recomend to find a place in Gdynia. 

I always had my tent in the camping  and we were partying just outside in parking lot until early in the mornig and there was plenty of alcohol

[mln]

You need to take a SKM train (Fast Urban Train) from Sopot to Gdynia Railway Station (around 15-20 minutes) and then take a special Open'er bus from the railway station to the festival area (depending on how many people are waiting - it takes 30-40 minutes, in extreme cases even longer) - so it's quite inconvenient, but there are a lot of people who do that. As muflon said you can drink alcohol in the parking area and in the campsite (though not in glass bottles)

Ok, let's speculate over the other 2 headliners.

SOAD,Depeche Mode, GD are all already playing 2017 Polish shows. RHCP played last year. Leaving who? Arcade Fire, Kings of Leon, ??

[lightsnowpatrol]

I'm thinking some new headliners will come into the fold. Snow patrol, Kasabian and possibly the killers

[mln]

Kasabian played in 2015, too soon as for headliner. I think Arcade Fire are 90% sure. The last headliner may be in fact Kings of Leon or some pop-rap act (hopefully not) as we had Pharrell this year and Drake in 2015.

[LiamMcMillen]

Arcade Fire are doing Rock Werchter on the 29th so I think they're a shoe in for the Friday night headliners. I've got a feeling the last one might be a bit left field. Not sure who though.

I would love AF, so hopefully, I'd say it's pretty likely too.

No idea about the 4th night. Strokes/Killers would be fine by me! Could be The Weeknd/Bruno Mars, someone like that?

[gregory]

Adele is playing London Thurs 29 and Sat 1st. Open'er Fri 30th? Hahaha... not.

Fortunately, Bruno Mars is playing in Poland in May, so we are not endangered by his presence at Open'er.

Predictions on when the next announcement will be? 

[neacaisa]

James blake added on the 28th

[neacaisa]

+mac miller on the 30th

[gregory]

85 bands played last year, with 30 weeks to go it'd be really cool if they keep announcing 2/3 bands a week from now to then. I'm enjoying this frequent announcements like @LiamMcMillen

[mln]

If only the quality of the last announcements was better... 

[gregory]

 

[neacaisa]

With mac miller now added alongside g-eazy, I doubt we will see another rapper on the main stage.
