Was reading all your posts and was quite tempted to go but having seen the above photo think I might give it a miss - does not look like the normal relaxed fesival that I love ! Don't fancy being stck in a "pen"!!

But it's a pen for the Manics!

Trust me (I've been to Lokerse Feesten about 10-15 times), it really won't be that crowdy when the Manics play. If you come only one hour before they play, you'll easily make it to the front row!

That's excellent news - thanks Rasgard
Does anyone know what time the Manics are supposed to be on?

I think I'll get tickets for this! It's amazingly cheap and it's during my summer holidays. And, my brother lives in Utrecht, Holland, which isn't too far away, so I could visit him as well.

Do you locals have any idea if it's likely that the tickets will sell out? I mean, I'll buy mine now, I'm just curious how it's been during previous years?

They play just before the main act (Pete Doherty - sadly not MSP) and I'm guessing that will be around 9 PM.

Hmm Pete Docherty Oh dear!!
That's quite good for me then as if I am going for the last train back to Antwerp at 11.25 then that is leaving me plenty of time to see the Manics and catch the train!! yay

Thanks so much Rasgard

Utrecht is not so far away indeed!

I think you are better off with buying these tickets in advance. Not that I expect a quick sell out, but lots of people are going to show up for Pete Doherty. The organisation announced him as one of the "big names" (along with Fatboy Slim who play the 31th of July and Simple Minds on the 8th of August).

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm really looking forward to this!

You won't be dissapointed! You will be able to kiss the Manics feet without any problem
