    Just some travel info.

    Ryanair fly to Charleroi, direct train from the train station (10 mins from the airport by bus) to Antwerp is about €13 and takes about 1hr40.

    Aerlingus fly to Zaventem, Train from the airport to Antwerp with 1 change, takes about 1hr10 and costs about €10.

    You could also fly with Ryanair to Eindhoven in the NL, i'm not sure about trains/public busses but there is a airport bus to Antwerp for €15 that takes about 1hr30

    You can check all times and book tickets for the train at www.b-rail.be :)

    You can buy everything you need in Antwerp, so if you need a tent, its probably cheaper to buy it over there and just leave it, as you'd most likely need to check the tent in on the plane, which would be about 30quid.

    Oh and just remember if your booking silly early flights for the return to Dublin, make sure you have enough time to get to the airports, last trains are generally around midnight and first starts usually around 5-6am. Not sure if they'll put on extra trains as i've never been.

    Great info thanks Mr.s

    Thanks for that Mr. S. Good to get some solid info.

    Have my flights booked with aer lingus - dublin to brussels. Looking at your info im thinking my best option is jump on the train to antwerp. How far is it to Boom then....would that be a taxi job?

    Would it be very dear to get a taxi from the airport to Boom? Its not too far @ 30km...

    Aye Train from the airport to Antwerp and then i'm guessing there will be shuttle bus (or at least some kind of transport! to the festival, just follow the crowds, if in doubt just ask someone who looks like their heading to the festival, most people would have a decent level of English.

    Taxi from the Airport might work out cheaper, if there is a few of you, might aswel ask to see if the driver would do a deal or something.


    May aswell chance the arm anyway as there would be a few. If we are going via the train to Antwerp do you reckon its definitely better to get the tent there? Would they not majorly hike the prices and cash in on the festival crowd?

    I suppose its a battle of whether you want the hassle of bringing one over or pay the extra few quid to get it there

    Madness, You can get return flights for €90.

    Think how much "fun" that coach would be on the way home

    A bus from bloody Witnness is a nightmare sure, so to get one back from this festival would not be the best of ideas. General rule of thumb, better the craic = harder to get home.

    Havent been before. Everyone and their granny is claiming to be going this year but i hope when push comes to shove half of them wont go for the tickets.your name goes on ticket like glastonbury, people may not want to commit. also a lot claiming to be going seem youngish.....they might not be able to afford the whole thing. tickets/flights/transport/accomodation/spending money. wont be cheap! i know about 20 from different groups claiming to be going, id say its myself and 3 others that will actually end up there!

    itll sell out straight away though.

    €172.50 for the three days, €72.50 for one, nearly 30% more expensive than last year. It's still cheap enough, though, when you compare it to Oxegen's €250. They go on sale April the 7th here, they're on sale in Belgium on the 24th of March, think it's something like 40% of the tickets are reserved for Belgians. I'll be up early on the 7th anyways!:D

    Does that include camping, or is camping extra?

    Can anybody tell me where the tickets will be available from? Ticketmaster? A friend told me today, that it might be hard enough to get my hands on them. Is that true?
