i thought the line up was great last year, should be about the same this year.

from memory there was 30+ bays 30+t25s 10+t4s a few splits and a couple of bugs .

60 euro for 3 nights camping is cheaper than most campsites .

shame about all them fukkin bands spoiling a great vw weekend.
surprised you can remember anything about last years event !!!

Yeah I'm thinking it's just going to be us and him at this rate! I haven't heard as many ads on the radio for it this year either. And given the line-up isn't great compared to other festivals I reckon it could be pretty small this year.

Well I've gotten a nice pair of speakers and some cool lighting installed in the van and it's all set interior-wise for camping. Just need to sort out a few bits mechanically and we should be ready to go. If it gives guff, it's going on an A-frame!

I spent some of today removing a drum from an old washing machine. Splitting 2 bearings on the spindle almost got the better of me. At least we'll have a fire pit now.............. if i bother bringing it. lol
Have my ticket since Christmas. Just need to get the weekend off work now. Can't wait. Not impressed by lineup this year either but it won't stop me having a great time!!

Yup, few of us going too! Looking forward to it, plus gonna lapping it up in a van for the first time ever at a festy!

I get the feeling its gonna be a smaller affair this year, I was down with the lads at the weekend, the site is definitely more compact this year. Still tho, it's looking sweet so far, its a great venue. Van Halla stage is looking deadly.

Hope the weather is good, they'll pull way more if it's anyway decent.
