Sounds like a very fitting bill, all the names link well together, i'm very happy !
Plus, Kings of Leon's last album is so good, it's almost unrealistic. It makes me wish they played 2 hours as well.
So is everyone settled with their accomodation? I'm staying at a B&B, De Gastenkamer, in the village. I booked it first day i booked the tickets, and spoke to the lady (Gerda was her name, i found it very funny, very typically dutch ) on the phone so i'm hoping it's cool. She didn't want any money in advance, although i would have felt better if i had given a payment in advance....

Since Incubus is a bigger name here I think they will follow KoL.. We'll see! I am pretty curious for the time table and how long everyone will play...
From what I've heard on MySpace this Satellite Party sounds pretty good!

are they?
when I look at the Werchter order, I find it strange (I would have thought both Kaiser Chiefs and QOTSA to be after Arctic Monkeys let alone Bloc Party, and KOL after Bloc Party too)
I think so, Incubus sold out the HMH, doubt KoL could do that now.

Arctic Monkeys headlined last years Lowlands festival, they've been hyped. QOTSA and Bloc Party aren't that big if you ask me, but I hardly watch TV or listen to the radio so my impression might not be accurate.
That's a fantastic line up although I would have preferred Jane's Addiction to another Farell project but I am sure the entire day will be great

Yes, after having much panic finally we managed to get a B&B room for the two of us as well in southern Nijmegen 1,5 kilometers away from Goffert Park venue...price is ONLY 30 euros which is pretty cheap compared to the rest of the possibilities you can find anywhere online...it was our fault: we should have decided earlier to return to "almost-Arnhem" Nijmegen:)
Our lady did not want to receive our money of booking either so we have got to trust the Dutch...:)

There aren't any cheap hotels left in the Nijmegen center. But there's a really nice, traditional Dutch hotel in the village of Elst called Linge Hotel Elst. I stayed there last year for the Arnhem show. Rooms are really nice and free breakfast is good too. Parking is free as well. You can reserve the room online. You don't have to pay until you arrive. Cost is 82.50 euros per night for a double room. Book soon if you're interested. It's not a big place.
There's a train station in Elst that's only 0.5 km away from the hotel. An intercity train leaves there for the Nijmegen main station every 15 minutes. The ride is only 13 minutes. The last train leaves Nijmegen for Elst at 00:14. Cost is 6.20 euros for a return ticket.

We were not brave enough to take a risk on catching trains to other cities so we desperately tried to find accomodation in town...and we were fortunately lucky:)

as you said , "trust the dutch" hahaha...
i'm suprised nobody else has gone for the B&Bs, they're all about 30 euros p.p.
I wouldn't try getting the train after the show, i've done that with other concerts and i almost got abandoned on the train platform, hahaha... Or maybe that's just in the UK, i don't know. The Dutch seem to do things better
Can you guys imagine HOW so damn fuckin' amazing party we're surely gonna have in Holland on the 29th of June???
warmed up by such great bands?
with our favourite rock band?
among one of the best crowds;) in the world?
in friendly Nijmegen?
in a park?
in the summertime?
in the biggest PJ "show for only fans" this year?
at the last but one show which is always the best one concerning to Eddie's spech last year?
....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....I cannot really express by words how unforgettably beautiful and fantastic the Arnhem show was last year (first row on Stone's side:D) so my expectations are absolutely great about an open air PJ show close to Gelredome:)
If you ask me: Poland and Nijmegen might be the most memorable shows this year for not just the fans but the band as well...Don't forget about the Polish fans:D

you may be right but for me the honest enthusiasm, loudness and friendly attention to others are both pretty important and that's what you get from the crowd in Poland and Holland (these have been my experiences so far). Unfortunately I have not been to Lisszabon/Lisboa/Lisbon but next year I would like to spend at least two weeks there! But after all those PJ shows and festivals I've got to stop spending money on almost everything:)
London is a different case...but I am sure noone will be disappointed in any of their shows and will feel THAT certain show could not be topped by an other one... and that's when they will be suprised:)!!!

euh...London, Copenhagen.. smaller venues, more fanatical crowds..special towns in relation to the band history..
but I'm sure Nijmegen will be great..Poland might..but the opening acts are going to put a damper.,,hope they make up for it.
People keep talking about gigs in Holland and saying how 'friendly' the crowds are and how receptive they are. I've never been to a gig in Holland, is everyone really that nice? Will people look after each other in the crowd? I don't want there to be another Paris '06 crowd experience.

I was second row Mike's side at last year's Arnhem show. There was plenty of jostling but I never felt really unsafe. Mike's side is always more physical anyway.
And, perhaps you will see some of these nice chaps from Arnhem in Nijmegen:

Are you saying that Holland is not special in relation to the band history??? Remember pinkpop 1992?
to be perfectly honest, I think Pinkpop 92 is special to fans, mostly through the video ...not necessarily to the band.
Copenhagen, I don't need explaining.
and London, well, if only for the fact it's as close as it gets to a fan club show, plus they're likely to have quite a few friends in attendance (which is probably why there won't be a show on the 19th, despite the gap in the schedule).
I don't say that Nijmegen won't be good, just that a priori, it's nothing 'special' compare to those places.
that said, the places I expected to be special last year mostly turned out to be not so (Verona, Athens, Pistoia, Paris because of the date)..so go figure :rolleyes:
