Also if you are doing multi city then expedia.co.uk is really good, I used it for Alpine/Canada, actually was way cheaper to book 3 of my flights and a 4th one separately then all 4 in an itinerary. Works out funny but I might try it for this tour.
If any of you need anything regarding Germany trains, accomodation, etc. I can help and translate! my Swedish is horrid, but I'm willing to try my luck there as well, but Scandinavians are all fluent in English anyway!
so yeah, anything I can help out with...let me know!
how far is it by train from berlin to stockholm in hours? does europe have those speed trains like japan? or are you on north america speed rail????? which is not fast at all
I don't think there are train connections, as you'd have to pass over a bit of sea in between. I'd suggest flying, ryanair.com is probably the cheapest option, one-way flight for about 40€.
Germany does have the ICE trains, which can go up to 300 km/h almost, so if you'd like to travel around there first that'd be a good option. They're pretty comfy and not falling apart and always delayed like italian trains. You have to book quite a while in advance to get good rates though.

ya i saw the sea in between germany and sweden first, but then german is connected to denmark by land that connected to norway and sweden by land? so then im like maybe i can take the train from berlin to stockholm. but i will listen to you guys about flying 40 euro is not a bad price if i can get that
once in stockholm going to oslo then to copenhagen, is it best to fly again or take train? and do they have the 300kh speed trains like germany in those countries?
and what is it like to cross in these countries with canadian and usa passports? do you guys still have border checks with european union? like if i take train from sweden to norway etc, does customs board the train etc or airport?
im just going to wait for usa tour, for plane from toronto to berlin is like 1100 with tax one way, then back another 1100 ish, and then few hundy for other planes around europe, im better off waiting for usa tur, i can go to 2x as many shows for that price, it was not even that expensive for me to fly mexico or costa rica or brasil on the south america, wow i did not know it was that pricy to get to europe flights. and then in europe things are more expensive than america right? like food costs etc and hotel costs? especialy in those scandanavian countries like sweden norway and denmark are they not the most expensive out of all the eu?
not too sure if the scandinavian countries have fast trains, but I'd imagine they do. cheap flights are also available, there's an airline called norwegian which has one-way flights for about 50€. you still get security/passport checks at airports, rarely on trains (I've not travelled between scandinavian countries, but this has been my experience going from italy to austria and germany a lot).
Nijmegen was a short set and the lack of a hostel in Nijmegen was kind of annoying (had to stay in Arnhem).
Berlin was awesome and everything that could be said about it has already been said (kind of disappointed they're not playing at Wuhlheide this year).
Werchter is kind of difficult to do unless you're doing the entire festival and camping on site. I went as a lark and managed to get a spare ticket from the official ticket re-selling line.
Didn't have a tent or a any kind of room booked in Leuven (the closest town), so I just ended up sleeping on the train station floor (after seeing the floor crowded with other people in the same situation).
Definitely a fun experience and something I'm looking forward to again this year.
