Roskilde Festival - June 29th (Roskilde, Denmark)

[erose]

so has anyone been to christiania recently and can tel me what exactly the procedure is?


or even has anyone bothered to purchase at the festival and if so, how easy and how does one go about it?

when you walk into christiania someone will come up to you and ask you what you want. it's still pretty safe to shop there, the dealers are more scared of the cops than you are so the watch men will let them know at all times where the pigs are. don't worry, you'll be just fine. if you get cought, which you wont, but if you do, all you'll get is a fine anyway so the risk isn't very big.

you'll most likely be able to buy shit at the festival too, but most of the time the shit sucks so my suggestion is to shop in christiania. thats atleast what i will keep doing.

[philspectorshotme]

cheers man. thats sweet.

ill definitely be buying in christiania, i was just wondering about buying at the site as a precautionary measure incase i do get busted by the pigs on my way back into copenhagen.


and now thats all settled... maybe my excitement will subside for a while. maybe...

or maybe ill find something else to reignite my excitement before the time comes... maybe an album!

fucking dylan and axl on the same bill... words cannot do it justice.

i know it's fucking unbelievable, gnr and dylan are my fav artists ever!!!!
i can't believe this, it's fucking unreal!!!!
it's gonna be a summer to remember

Dude, thats so fucking awesome, and it's going to be so intense.
And Wolfmother are playing too, my favourite Australian band...

[philspectorshotme]

yea im looking forward to wolfmother. i hope they live up to their antipodean cousins the datsuns and provide a show even half as good. only heard the single, quite sabbath. enjoyable.

bill filled out today. jack white and his raconteurs are making the trip along with the strokes, happy mondays and some not so notable people. not the greatest looking bill ive ever seen, but if you're a fan of new alternative music you should be ok.
but... really again i have to go back to the fact that axl and dylan on the same weekend... holy fucking shit.

[snow white]

Axl and Dylan.... :drool:If the tickets weren't going to cost me Au$300 I would have got one by now. I guess I should just bite the bullet and do it before they all sell out....They haven't sold out yet right?
Actually, does anyone know- do you have to stay there for the whole three days and do all that camping business, or can you leave and come back? and if you can, is there anywhere nearby to go to...?

I've seen Wolfmother live twice now and they fucking rock, though that was with an audience who knew all their songs and were big fans etc so we'll see how they go with a large international audience who may not know them so well...

[philspectorshotme]

id say wolfmother will be in a tent. but id be surprised if they even pulled a relatively big crowd. but im looking forward to some stomping blues hard rock. i dont think ill be disappointed if there is an excited crowd or not.

i think tickets are only available for a full 4 day pass. but you dont have to camp. you can stay in a hotel or whatever in roskilde town/city and come and go via the campsite entrances as you please.

[snow white]

I don't expect a big crowd for the wolf either. But it's good to see them getting some airplay overseas.

I thought as much about the camping...mm...I'll have to go do some serious budgeting and planning and see if it's really viable option for me....

[Sillything]

Hey! I bought my ticket today! So add me to the list please!
I've been to Roskilde festival three times before; 1998,1999 and 2000 and it really is the greatest festival in the world!

Don't smoke to much weed now everybody or you'll just sleep in your tents and miss out on all the fun.

Is here anyone from outside of scandinavia who is going? I really want to recomend two swedish acts: Loop Troop, political hip hop, it's really good! Nothing like american hip hop about "bitches n hoes".

And I really really recomend Th?str?m! He sings in swedish but I think anyone can enjoy it anyway. He's a legend and used to be a punkrocker. Now he plays dark acoustic stuff.

What a week for me! Guns N' Roses in Stockholm on monday and then again at Roskilde on thursday. I can't wait!!!

How does the camping thing work? Do I have to live in tent or is there some places nearby (hotel etc)?

Hotels are probably full now, but give it try

[Evil Ash]

is anyone planning on recording the guns show??

if so, would you mind taping the strokes for me too? 

[philspectorshotme]

(can i get in on that too? )

whats the best way to get from the airport to christiania? taxi? how far away from the airport is christiania?
its just that ill be carrying two bags and a stereo and dont want the hassle of a bus and walk unless a taxi is overly expensive.

[JakeTheSnake]

Times up!

Roskilde Festival did officially sell out yesterday. 75.000 fans are ready to rock Denmark!

Yeah! Rock On! 

[Andy-k]

do you think it is possible there will be more tickets available later?

[snow white]

Im so godamn excited!!
Cept they put the bands I want to see on at the same time ie GnR and Sigur Ros. Pretty easy decision that one...

I'm still a little concerned about this camping business....I guess I'll have to deal...

[philspectorshotme]

whats your concern about camping?

if sigur ros hadnt of clashed id have probably tried to see them myself. they've never made it for me on record (to put it mildly) but id say live they would work much, much better.
