Open'er Festival 2022

[E_A]

ASAP Rocky is Wednesday's new co headliner 

[Henrique]

Schedule is out and I guess it includes all of the bookings. A bit let down as they filled all slots with Polish acts, but it was expected.

Still, a lot of good artists attending, and there's more time to enjoy the three cities as well, hopefully weather will be good!

They did announce Mother Mother and a Ukrainian band (I don't remember the name) too.

It actually looks decent, lots of potentially good gigs to see. Maybe next year we'll make a comeback. Enjoy the fest guys!

Storm went through the area, mass evacuation of site. Biffy, Megan and Dua Lipa cancelled.

(After seeing Dua Lipa at Primavera, they've been spared..)

Yikes, similar happened to a french fest i believe. Poor Open'er. Hope all camping are doing ok

There's also been reports of a guy brandishing a knife (!), who started going crazy at the medical tent. Everybody ran away, the guy ran to the main stage (!) (thankfully empty due to the evacuation) fell down and was then apprehended. The best part - the attacker is said to be one of the security staff (!!!).

Crazy if true.

Crazy if true.

Link is not working anymore, I hope it was fake news. The situation was a bit hard yesterday, but all in all I would say people behaved really good, the location is just not made for all the people leaving it at the same time.

I myself took an e-scooter to Gdynia, unforgettable memory to ride it while it was storming and rest of the traffic stuck 😂

Now if only I would figure out a way to dry my shoes...

[red___90]

The police have dispelled the news. Still, Megan Thee Stallion talked abut the incident in her live Instagram broadcast, and it was her main reason to cancel her show, so something's fishy.

Hope everyone have a great time tonight!

So, according to the festival director and the police this person with a knife didn't pose a threat to other people, but only to himself. Megan should be more careful with what she's saying to her fans.

This edition was a roller coaster for me, great Wednesday and Saturday, boring Thursday (except for Royal Blood and BadBadNotGood), and almost nothing on Friday.

Also, had a feeling that Saturday was too much overcrowded (possibly because of people with Friday tickets who were compensated with free Saturday entry).

My top 5:

1. Little Simz

2. The Smile

3. Royal Blood

4. Sampa The Great

5. The Killers
