New Order live @ Rock Werchter - Werchter (BE) 2005.06.30 — Forum Archive

18 Mar 2005, 09:14

A press statement has just been released confirming that New Order will play the Belgian Rock Werchter Festival on THURSDAY, June 30th on the Main Stage, along with Ozark Henry (a Belgian artist), Snoop Dogg (don't ask...) and the Chemical Brothers (no surprises there, I guess).

Tickets go on sale via phone & internet tomorrow, and in the usual ticket outlets on April 16th. A dayticket for 30/6 costs 52 Euro, an all-in ticket for the 4-day festival will set you back 120 Euro.

The news is not yet on the official festival site (http://www.rockwerchter.be) but it will be shortly. I will forward the official press statement to Nic.

Bollocks. I knew I'd have to miss a gig at some point this year, and I think this may well be it. Oh well. This is eating into my holidays though! :\ohwell:

Yes they are...

But it says "Marquee", while New Order are on the main stage. I have no idea what's the difference.

This is rather pleasing news, but is seriously gonna fuck my Turin plans - will now have to get up very early on the Friday morning in Belgium, head back to England, and then off to Turin.......already booked by Italy flights for Friday lunchtime!

I actually got the news... would helped if my nool email was configured in here... :nonono:

18 Mar 2005, 11:36

Well, the main stage is, err, the main stage, and the marquee is a small tent in another part of the festival site. Fingers crossed that the scheduled time for both bands doesn't clash!

I have to ask... I mean, Kraftwek is able to play on the main stage, so why do they put them in the tent... :scratch:

Put Snoop Dogg in the tent, then you'll have a very likable line-up for the night :evil4:

18 Mar 2005, 11:42

Well, Tim, I should be able to get you to the airport in time. Leuven ain't too far from Brussels!

C'est magnifique, as they may say in the south of your rather splendid country!

Oh Tim, you shouldn't... :blush:

18 Mar 2005, 13:07

What's the Hampden roar with this festival? Anyone know if it sells out very quickly, is it advisable to buy tickets tomorrow? :scratch:

19 Mar 2005, 01:16

Ticket website currently down. My Vlaams isn't up to it to ring them!

19 Mar 2005, 01:45

OldMonkey now confirmed for Rock Werchter! Translation improving by the minute, ticket safely ordered. Yay!

19 Mar 2005, 04:28

How is Belgium looking for prices?

19 Mar 2005, 09:20

Tickets for the Order night are €52.

23 Mar 2005, 03:19

Im going to this. Booking tickets tomorrow. What is the easiest Airport to get to the site? At present, Aer Lingus and Ryanair are both doing flights for around €100 including taxes, etc. Both fly to differrent Airports, Aer Lingus to Brussels (BRU), Ryanair to Brussles Charleroi.

Which is closer / easier to get to for the festival, and how long should I leave to get to and from the Airport?

23 Mar 2005, 09:08

Closest airport to the festival is Brussels (BRU; = Zaventem), appr. 25kms by train to Leuven. From there there are busses to the festival (15 mins).

Here you can find a train time table: http://www.b-rail.be/main/E/index.php

Please take into account that it's the first festival day so it's going to be busy with people going to the festival camping in the afternoon. Concerts start at 1800hrs. There's no fixed schedule yet but it would not surprise me if New Order play early in the evening.

23 Mar 2005, 09:27

Thanks for that. Would you say that an early (6am departure) would be the best option? Does the ticket for 1 day include campsite pass?

23 Mar 2005, 12:03

For the camping you need to buy a seperate ticket (15 euros). Flying at 6am should give you more than enough time to get festival; the campings are open from 1200 on Thursday.

23 Mar 2005, 13:08

Thanks again Coen.

An early start and poor nights sleep it is then.

See you there.

28 Mar 2005, 09:23

Last train back to Bruxelles from Leuven is at 11 pm. Might need to find a gaff near the Festival. Where's Alex ?? ;)

My ticket has just arrived!

1 Apr 2005, 10:07

Well at least I thought it had, there was a letter with a Belgian postmark waiting for me. Now it's all gone tits up. Seems that the Belgian ticket agency require me to pay them €59.70 within 4 days of the date of the letter, which was 19th March. Trouble is, it's taken 12 days for the letter to arive, which means my ticket may no longer be held.

Any ideas Jan/Ben?

3 Apr 2005, 00:31

I've ordered tickets through this website before from the Netherlands and never had any problem with the late payments (I usually get that letter a week after I order). So if you make the money transfer you should be fine. Not sure how this works from the UK, from the Netherlands I always use the 'acceptgiro' that is attached to the letter. It will probably take another two months before the tickets arrive.

3 Apr 2005, 00:49

Cheers Coen, the only problem is that the money transfer cannot be made from the UK - it seems that Belgian banks have a different system. I tried yesterday! I thought I'd paid by credit card on the site when I ordered the ticket, they took all the credit card details etc. Confused!

3 Apr 2005, 01:03

I never ordered anything from them with a credit card. As you say you would expect to have paid if you used your card. But then you should not have gotten that letter. I guess it's best to contact them.
