Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium on Thursday, can't wait. I went there in 2006 - just awesome. Going next year - cannot wait for that. Its now my local festival! Looking forward to day 3, Sigur Ros and then Radiohead. What was the crowd like there, say compared to the UK? T in the Park is the most mental crowd at a festival I have been to.

Looking forward to day 3, Sigur Ros and then Radiohead. What was the crowd like there, say compared to the UK? T in the Park is the most mental crowd at a festival I have been to. It's a really relaxed festival - conditions were always clean, festival goers were generally not morons. 2006 will be hard to beat when I go there again because the weather was amazing and the bands were pretty good too. Also RW has a brilliant lay-out. Outside the festival site you have a long, straight road with bars and food stalls... which is really nice at night. The smaller stage is great especially considering the acts that have played in there - I saw Sigur Ros in the smaller stage that year. One bad thing was they didn't let you take any of your own drinks (inc. Water) into the site - I think you can take/get away with a camelbak thingy though. Oh and public transport was free when showing your festival ticket.

Re the transport, we have to get the train to Belgium which costs about 3 Euro and then for it to be free from there is great as it is quite far away I think.

My transport was from Brussels airport - then to a train station which ushered us on to buses organised by the festival - the bus system was superb because it was bus after bus after bus... The queue was massive but didn't take 20 minutes because we were never stopped moving.
Boo - I wish I went this year now.

Neil Young excellent last night. The main is still pure class. Out of the support bands My Morning Jacket were very, very good although I'd never heard of them before. Guillemots were absolute bollox as was Rufus Wainright. Primal Scream were on another planet and Supergrass did what Supergrass do. Apparently the Hop Farm in Kent is going to be turned into a 3 day event next year. Great value for £50 but if you do go next year prepare for a 3 hour wait afterwards in the car park unless they get their act together.
