Looks like rain for us, well showers at least. I know 10 day forecasts are unreliable but I'd prefer they said sun rather than rain!

JM MARCONI · 10-08-2010 05:23PM

Pity about the (possible) rain! Has anyone got some tips on getting a bit of "smoke" at it? Would I be better getting the train to amsterdam when I get there?

Alter-Ego · 10-08-2010 06:57PM

It will rain because i'm going.

I've never been to a festival where it hasn't rained at least once.

Why go all the way to Amsterdam? If you are flying to an airport in Belgium Roosendaal or Maastricht are much closer.

Getting excited

jackthelad456 · 11-08-2010 03:48PM

The only problem with PP is that it's too close to Electric Picnic back home. RW is a week before oxegen so that's why I picked RW this year. PP may be on the cards next year.

TheMasterpiece · 11-08-2010 06:05PM

Are the train tickets valid for when we're leaving on the Sunday aye?

You trade your e-ticket for a real ticket at the gate and thats valid for the return journey AFAIK.

TheMasterpiece · 11-08-2010 06:32PM

AFAIK?? Sorry haha

TheMasterpiece · 11-08-2010 07:55PM

Mucho appreciated again guys!!

This time next week we'll be dancing in the rain

Imagineer · 13-08-2010 11:55AM

Its so close now...

Hope this helps people planning what to see and what not to see. I got lazy and left out the last 3 stages on Sunday, cos there was nothing I wanted to see there.

TheMasterpiece · 13-08-2010 08:23PM

Guys,just wondering.. Is there much in the way of shops around..Alcohol wise? I was advised to just stock up in the Airport..but the absolute effort of dragging it across the country :mad:

Thanks again :cool:

honru · 13-08-2010 09:12PM

There is a shop and a petrol station in Kiewit, as well as stalls set up by the locals along the Kempische Steenweg. Alcohol in particular will more than likely be sold at hiked festival prices. There is however a great bakery in the town which sells lovely sausage rolls, croissants, etc. for relatively cheap. All of this is about 5 minutes away from the festival/camping entrances.

I'd recommend stocking up on booze in Hasselt. There is a good Spar there... if you turn right as you exit the train station and keep walking you should find it. Just remember not to bring any glass (bottles) to the campsite.

TheMasterpiece · 13-08-2010 09:17PM

You're a hero, Thanking you!

Furious-Red · 13-08-2010 10:01PM

Is there any ATMs around the site ?

Yes, there is usually one at the festival entrance and one or two in the festival grounds. As typical with music festivals queues for these can get agonisingly long so I recommend bringing enough cash to get you through the weekend.

Current weather forecast is looking decent.

Furious-Red · 15-08-2010 03:01PM

I presume there is ATM's also in the town where the festival is? Gonna try not run out of money ha . Also do you need tokens to buy the beer that the locals sell or are the tokens just for onsite.

Cant wait till wed morning and on the flight

Liking the forecast so far

Pigwidgeon · 15-08-2010 03:05PM

Can't wait now

6 of us heading over on the 6.50 aerlingus flight on Wednesday morning.

The Irish Do Pukkelpop

ROLL CALL!

Furious-Red · 15-08-2010 10:55PM

Attention, dear Pukkelpoppers! There’s a change in the Pukkelpop running order on Friday August 20th. Limp Bizkit will play a later slot on the Main Stage. They are now scheduled to perform from 19:00 until 20:00. This also means Eels will play earlier than previously announced. Their show is now from 17:20-18:20.

Limp Bizkit followed by Prodigy

:D:D

redenemyjoe · 16-08-2010 05:22PM

I have gone through so many almost disasters in the last few days. I only got my ticket yesterday and money to go, today.

I have no way home. I have no tent. I have no sleeping bag. I haven't got a clue and I couldn't give a damn.

I'll probably be seeing some of you on the 7.45 to Charleoi in the morning. Come say hello to everyone until you find me!
