    So what's the consensus on the meetup before Pearl Jam, seeing that my thread wasn't too successful....

    Also, how hard is it to get to the front? I'll only be arriving at Werchter at around 2 or 3.

    Any info on that, Belgians? :)

    You're coming from the UK right? How are you getting there?

    I think there may be a meetup in Leuven Friday lunchtime/early afternoon (provided I hear from the bleedin' travellers that is;))

    ok, some info:

    usually you get in the front if you go as soons as the last notes of the previous gig stop. The problem is that we're talking about Pearl Jam. Alledgedly, they have some hardcore fans who'd do a lot to see "their" band from as close as possible... I don't know if this is true ... just a rumor :-)

    Therefore I though it would not be a bad idea to get in the front by the time Kings of Leon finish ... As said, I'd give up Admiral Freebee for that and try to survive Bloc Party (yuk).

    The time before that its probably convenient to meet around the PA.

    Weather is gonna suck but what the fuck ... last time they "were gonna" play at Werchter we were as wet as ... (I'll leave that to your imagination)

    Damn ... why did I ever stop doing security at this festival ... I used to do nightshifts in the Artists area .... grrrr

    seriously you don't need to get in that early!! this is not reading or rock am ring where you have to fight for several hours to get to that sweet spot!! If you want a good place it is in my eyes absolutely enough if you start to get up-front right after QOTSA. When the arctic monkeys are gone you'll just have to walk in to the front.

    I'm planning on catching a regional train to Leuven in Brussels.

    If there's a meetup somewhere, any info would be appreciated :)


    I'll reiterate what I said somewhere else: I'd really like to be in a good spot with fellow jammers because the worst thing I can imagine is standing amongst a bunch of non-fans who just don't get into the music!!

    I'll certainly be there at around the same time as Julien. You seem like you know your way around Werchter so I'm counting on you to get me to the front :p

    daanarts is a man of taste.
    although it would be nice to get in touch with some fellow 10clubbers, I would get to frustrated by bloc party (while the admiral is playing)
    it wouldn't surprice me if PJ will check the admiral out aswell.
    since 1999 I've been going to werchter and to get succesfully infront you don't have to get in line 2 shows ahead. so when admiral freebee has ended his show I'll get my as to the humo-stand and the into the mass.

    see you there (or maybe in nijmegen)

    20h30 should be the perfect time to meet around the humostand (and don't forget your drunken faces!!)

    I don't guarantee to get you into the first couple of rows, but to be in the pit all upfront should be very realistic!! At the worst we will use fists and elbows to get close to Eddie ;-)

    The only times this has been "a little hard" to do was everytime Metallica performed because they do got quite a couple of "hardcore fans"!!

    the man is absolutely right!! as I've said before Werchter is the most easy festival in the world, when it comes to getting in front of the stage!!
