    Sunblock! There's a good chance you'll need it anyway in the city, it can be very hot over there. Once I had 42C in july.

    anyone have any tips as to the best way to get from central madrid to the venue and back? I was planning on taking a cab from my hotel to the show, but wasn't sure if it is easy to catch one back. Any thoughts?

    I'm guessing most cities are easy for cabs, I may go for that option. But apparently Leganes is out of the way, so we may struggle for cabs back in. Might as well join the hordes on the metro.

    That is late! What do you reckon on the set length?

    Maybe it's similar to Werchter, where they also start at 11 pm, scheduled for about 1,5 hours. But the more the better!!

    If they only play 1.5 hours I'll be really gutted-a Pearl Jam show should be 2.15 at least-let's hope they either get on early or play late.

    I'm with you on that...hoping for a lot longer than 1 1/2 hours

    But then again 90 mins is better than nothing. It's got to be nearer 2 hrs surely, but I don't know how this festival works and if the last metro is at 1.30am, it's going to be pushing it. Anyone who's been to this before have any idea on set length for the headlining band?

    but Vitoria is a camping festival. people don't have to rely on public transport.
    I'd think 2 hours though..

    11pm start, 2 hr set = making the last metro is going to be a close call.....

    Hey guys!! I'd like to go to Festimad and see Pearl Jam once again, but I actually can't affort tickets + travel (hard times for my pockets, I know...).

    I was wondering if someone's driving from Barcelona to Madrid to see PJ that weekend and woulnd't mind to have a bit of company. I promess to make sandwiches!! ^_^

    If there's anyone who could drive me there, or if you know someone going from Barcelona, please please please drop me an email: imails@cqc.tv

    Otherwise I would have to let it go, and I really don't want to miss it!!

    Thanks everybody... and keep on rocking in the free world!!

    I don't know if you've realised but on Saturday night there's every chance that Real Madrid will become champions of Spain. It could turn out to be party central, and I'm guessing a little tougher to get back into the city. You know how these guys like to celebrate by driving around honking their horns the whole night long-or of course they might lose...Love to all, JUK
