So, what are you waiting for? Book it and come to Sweden for the most unforgetable party of your life :D :D :D


Not to sound spoiled I have already seen the pogues 4 times this year and I dont really have the 180 or so dollars to spend to see 1 band. However if I can get a 1 day pass and there are some other decent acts I am going to consiter it.

The Ferry port is about 500 m away from here :D you don´t have to walk far :wink: that would mean about 1,5 km from Slottskogen where the Festival is.

See you guys


I spent a couple of days in Gothenburg about two years ago. I´m glad the festival is in the heart of the city and not somewhere in the suburbs.

I guess Stena Line has some special offers of ferry plus one or two nights in Gothenburg. But maybe a flight is indeed better. I´ll do my best to find out. it would be great to come over. :D

Ok Morrissey is pretty badass now the only question is if they are playing on the same day. But all will be made clear in time.

Someone just sent me a text saying if I'm going i'll have to take out a loan to get pissed.. are the beers really that expensive? My norwegian mate was saying that in her town they're like £7 a pint..

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
