Heineken 2008 festival in Poland

http://www.heineken.pl/#go=27

i am about to book for this -- but i want to know is it better to have the with camping or without .... !

Anyone been to previous ones? or know what its like if dont have the camping part :)

cheers

camping is all part of the fun and experience, just as it is at glastonbury

I cant make out who else will be there apart from the Chemical Brothers - help please!

As for camping - to heck with that - they got a beach ! Yippee !!!

Neither can I.

Last fm has ticket prices and some other stuff, but no band listings yet.

my thoughts too Szarlotka .. but as much as i would like to sleep under the stars i would like some cover lmao

I only just found this as it has been advertised all night on GG so i though i would look and the chemical brothers are wicked live ...

So looks like some of you will be in the area for this then ... :)

tickets available also via the site i posted above 239zl (£48 for 3 day camping ticket)

:D

i went to the 2005 fest, was great i stayed with friends in so not sure about camping.....it was only 2 days back then so maybe its all changed.....

I went in 2005. Only disappointing thing was the fact that beer had to be purchased and consumed within a fenced-off area from which the main stage couldn't be seen and barely heard. We spent the evening dashing back there every 20 mins to neck a pint and dash back. Since the beer was served in plastic cups, I still can't see what they were trying to achieve by this....

Acts confirmed

Chemical Brothers
Beruit
Massive Attack
CocoRosie
MIA
GentleMan
Far East Band

- 3-day ticket without the camping place - 269 PLN,
- 3-day ticket with the camping place - 289 PLN,
- 1-day tickets - 140 PLN.

Hm, and how many Złoty go into one Euro?

Actually, this is a tip for Poles living in the Netherlands: at the end of August each year, there is a festival in one of the new lands in the IJsselmeer (Issel Lake - Flevoland, Biddinghuizen) which lasts for 3 days and on those 3 days you can watch over 120 acts -big acts, upcoming acts: basically you're going to see what's hot for the next few years for, I believe it was 120 Euro for 3 days including camping. It's called (A campingflight to the) Lowlands festival. Just check it out, if you're into new music, no matter what genre, it's definitively worthwhile checking. And believe me: Franz Ferdinand, Fun Loving Criminals, to name but a few, made their first appearance there.

M-G

1 Euro = 3.59096331 Polish zloty (Today's rate as per google :).

So, 80 Euros for 3 days...

here are the rates today

269PLN - £56.33 - e75.20

289PLN - £60.52 - e80.86

140PLN - £29.31 - e39.17

hope that helps :)

Sure does, looks like a bargain when compared to some UK festivals.

i have heard that there is an english speaking company who will pick festival goers up at the airport, drop them at the festival and provide camping equipment etc then take you back to the airport for return flights

is anybody using this service?

which company BW .. may have to do some digging around on this one then as if its reasonable then maybe :)



well yeah Glasto. week before is £149 3 day camping ticket if not more this year

Glasto... hey I remember leading a charge over the fences one year, it was like a scene of BraveHeart, excepting the crowd consisted of crusties and travellers........
Hilarious having pulled down the outer wire fence we scalled the 14+ft interior wall, whilst dodging the security. Awesome....everyone fuelled on Scrumpy and dirty phets...

I'm definitely going to be there!!! Anyone else???

I think my festival days are behind me LOL. Enjoy it Jova.

I suggested it to my sons but the younger two are heading for Reading Festival. The line up looks great there too.

Hey I am 45 and I am still going, "you are only as young as the woman you feel", or something like that lol

Anyone going to see PJ Havey in Warsaw on the 21st May?

Young upstart

I also plan to be there (Opener of course) so maybe we can met up for a beer? :)

I won't be able to see PJ. :( Still anyone going to see The Police in June?

Haha why not?? The more of us, the better :D

Splendid. It's a shame that you are only allowed to drink Heineken there. But since this is the man sponsor I guess it makes kind of sense. ;)

Yeah! We all love Heineken, don't we??? :)
