    Tool haven't played Europe since 2007 and what with all the wine-tasting I can't see them coming.
    You've just made an awesome line-up there and then you finish with....could still be good,could? good?!

    No not if they're headlining I'd expect a lot more people that are into that type of genre. The festival is always quite mixed anyway, don't expect the black mass or anything :P

    This is my first year going to this and we were thinking of staying in a hotel instead of camping. Does anyone know anywhere good to stay? Preferably cheap and near the festival?

    Also, how likely is it that those rumours are true? Tool would be fantastic.
    Any chance of Alice in Chains coming? I have no basis for that, I just really want them to.

    yes!
    when I went last year, the campsite wasnt opened the first night so I stayed in a little family run hotel in the city centre very near the train station. It was just called 'city hotel' afaik and cost about 20euro, not much more than a hostel and included breakfast. I'd highly recommend this place, you got so much for breakfast and the room was really nice, en suite, tv etc for very cheap. I wouldn't think you'd hvae a problem booking it either since I literally just walked across the road to the tourist office from the train station and got them to ring around. All the hostels were full up, this was the first hotel they rang and was no problem booking it then and there. Was a minute walk from the the tourist office then, very handy for getting the trams out to the festival site. You'd definitely have a lot more comfort there for the sake of paying about 2 euro more per night than a hostel.

    Your best bet Ciara is to check out available hotels in the city via hotelbooking.com we went a couple of years ago and got sorted with a savage hotel for very cheap(like 30 euro a night) that was within spitting distance of the tram(that goes from the city to the festival-only takes bout 10 mins) Its a very well run festival and you will enjoy it :)

    So the trams run each night after the festival too? Would be nice to be heading back to a bed after the festivities...I kinda reached my limits with camping last summer...a sign of my age I fear:rolleyes:

    As far as i remember they do. Not very late but if you leave as the last band is finishing you should be ok-thats what we did and it worked out good. One night we did hang on a bit,missed the last tram and had to walk back into the city. It wasn't too bad though- nout half an hour to where we were sayin i would guess. Btw-some info you probably don't know....when you get there and get your armband thingy-get yourself back to the transport office in the underground part of the train station in the middle of the town and recieve your weekend public transport ticket for .......................FREE :D Yep-its pretty feckin sweet and we only found out by chance :)
