Graspop Metal Meeting 2019 - Nieuws en geruchten

[Koekdoos]

Kan ik al weten welke bands signeersessies doen de dag ervoor? Weet ik dus vrijdagavond al welke bands zaterdag signeren?
Zonder dat ik hiervoor op het festival hoef te zijn uiteraard.

Ik neem aan dat je weet hoe het er andere jaren aan toeging en ik verwacht dat het weer op dezelfde manier zal verlopen.
In ieder geval weet je van tevoren wel welke bands er zullen signeren, alleen niet wanneer. Daarvoor zul je echt op het festival aanwezig moeten zijn, tenzij ze dat dus aangepast hebben.

Where is the best place to buy beer/liquor after getting off at Mol Station? I want to stock the refrigerator at Metal park. Thanks!

If you google "Carrefour Mol", you'll find a shop near the station. There is also a Colruyt. It's way cheaper, but it's a 10 minute walk from the station.

Weet er iemand meer over pendelbussen van/naar Metal Park?
Rijden er uberhaupt wel pendelbussen van/naar Metal Park? Ik kan hier helaas geen informatie over vinden

edit: Oeps, al gevonden: gratis shuttle tussen het festival en Metal Park – op vertoon van je Metal Park-polsbandje of -toegangsvoucher. Uurrooster volgt later.

Thanks for sharing!
Strange, I didn't receive an e-mail like this where I also need to fill in a registration form. I'm guessing that's just for people staying in a bungalow?
We are staying in the hotel at metal park.

I am staying in a bungalow

Edit: If anybody has any ideas on why the html tags show when I quote someone please share. My only idea is because I am using google translate on the page so maybe it is throwing the tags off?

Nog 10 dagen!

It's because you'r missing the opening quote tag. With a mismatched tag, the interpreter cannot make sense of it and just shits out all the html tags as text.

Wij gaan volgende week zondag!
Iemand enig idee of er ergens een bus ingelegd wordt vanuit Limburg?
Wij willen met een groepje gaan en natuurlijk wil iedereen graag wat drinken.. vandaar dus mijn vraag

Bedankt!

Een bus voor enkel een dag? Daar heb ik nog nooit iets over gezien...

Met hoeveel ga je? Misschien via een taxibedrijf een busje regelen en de kosten delen?

 

[Moniek]

Ik ben vorig jaar voor het eerst geweest en vroeg me af hoe lang het op een normale donderdag ongeveer duurt om binnen te komen?

Ik ben vorig jaar voor het eerst geweest en vroeg me af hoe lang het op een normale donderdag ongeveer duurt om binnen te komen?

Dat valt veel beter mee, vorig jaar was uitzonderlijk een rampjaar om binnen te geraken. Ik denk dat het rond 16u of 17u het drukst is. Ik ben er altijd vroeg bij, waardoor ik vlot door kan om 12u.

 

[rpspeed]

Can you visit the camp grounds even if you are not camping? I'd like to compare it to my home festival in the USA, Rocklahoma. There everyone gets a 6m x 12m assigned spot for $80us.
