Is anyone from England attendind this year? I'm planning to travel using argon events but would like opinions from people who have been to the festival before, or used argon services.

Do you have questions about the festival itself or only transportation?

[KLED]

Both really. I'm planning to use Argon services but it seems too pricey. So opinions from people who had travelled from England to the festival can help me to make a decision if I should do everything on my own or go with them.

Kled, we used Argon the first time we went and it's definitely a very pricey option. It depends on whether you want to camp or have a solid roof over your head. The hotel in Turnhout was great but only 1 bus there and back per day was a pain especially when we got caught in crowds in Rammstein and they left us. Don't get me wrong they provide a service which is great for late bookers and for people travlling in twos, but had we known some things we know now we wouldn't have got them. I suggest you look at trying to get a chalet at Devil's Lake(on the Graspop website) (If you can get enough people together) as there are shuttle buses running all the time to the venue. You can still get 4 people chalets for 849 euro's(much cheaper than Download and also cheaper than Argon if you weigh up what they were charging for a room). If you fly to Brussels there are trains running to Mol and then taxi's to the centre Parcs. Anything else you would like to know?

I'm also Weighting up the price for a tent and other camping equipment on my budget. I traveling on my own so Argon is definitely a more expensive option. Thanks for your comments ax it always a good thing to know what others have experienced.
