    Pretty decent alright. Can't complain about the price either. If I had holiday time left at work I would be ordering tickets now.

    Bumping an old thread I know but we were at this year's event last weekend.
    Weather was pretty decent aside from some rain on the Friday in the middle of Sigur Ros, who were amazing. Whomadewho were also pretty good as were Daughter. Lineup isn't a patch on EP but at only €80, it's pretty darn decent. You'd probably pay that to see Sigur Ros alone in Ireland.
    There's a lot to be said for a festival on tarmac/concrete with no muck. They have dodgems and 5-a-side soccer too.

    Only found out about this festival very late this year but definitely considering it next year.

    So is it just 2 stages? Is it held pretty close to the city centre?

    For that money I thought the line-up was great! If you are a big fan of one of the headliners then it makes the rest a bargain

    There's one main stage out on the asphalt and then there's two other smaller stages inside hangars with a tiny stage near the shops and stuff.

    It's at Tempelhof airport, which ceased operating in 2008 so it has great public transport links. It's an amazing building as well. You can smell the history of the place.

    Downsides are the ban on bringing any food into the place and the suspiciously difficult-to-get-merry-on beer.
