New Order live @ Arvikafestivalen, Arvika (SE) 2005.07.14

or this

any translators around, this time of night?:D

I'm not even gonna try and find out logistics for this one - too depressing! The boss is already looking at me a bit strange with my motley collection of Fridays and Mondays off most weeks in July, not to mention the 30th of June, so I'd better not try and squeeze some more leave!

the easiest way to get to Arvikafestivalen, is by train (Gothenburg to Karlstad and than train to Arvika) or Stockholm to Karlstad (and, obvious, train to Arvika). The distance between Karlstad and Arvika is about 70 km. And Karlstad - used to my hometown a year ago... - is located between Stockholm and Oslo. Arvikafestivalen started as a "synthgroup"-festival, but is more mixed up these days. If my mind to fails me too much, the attandence usually is between 11.000 or 15.000 people.

Any further intrest in this festival, feel free to ask

BiljettDirect sells only threedays tickets before. Am I right, that they will sell one-day-tickets only on the festival gate? Do you think it will be sold out when I travel to festival (from Finland) without ticket?

Quite ironic really, the Scandinavian gig being the only one the Vikings won't be pillaging!

I've got this ridiculous situation whereby I have 30 days of holiday left between now and the end of August, but I cannot use ten of them in that period because of work pressure and short staffing, so I have 20 to use in four months. Fourteen of them will be spent on a Greek island, so the rest is dotted Fridays and Mondays! Just hope I can afford all these gigs - at least I may make some ale money on this V ticket!

well i`ll hope New Order will performed in Bg someday..

Well this seems to be the nearest place for me to watch New Order live on this summer. Primavera Festivals in Spain would be fantastic to experience. Not just because of NEW order, but also because of the other top performers like M83, Sonic Youth, Gang of Four and so on.. Arvikafestvalen's program seems to be a bit lame and weird for me.. that makes me really consider about that three day ticket. Maybe it would be a nice experience.

Finding this Arvika wouldn't be any problem. Just about a year ago we (me and my mate) went to see Kraftwerk in Rockefeller, Oslo. We drove trough Karlstad with our car and the road between Stocholm and Oslo seemed to be in perfect conditition.

And by the way. Nice to see other Finns here too :) By this I mean Jukka.. welcome.

Kiitos.Nice to meet you too.

The program is finally ready and New Order will be playing at midnight 00.00.

Well, JG will probably see Kasabian somewhere else instead!

Does anyone have any info on an Arvika radio webcast tonight? I've been trying to search for one but can't find anything on the net. I'll be listening to P3 just in case...they've broadcast it in recent years.

He missed all of Werchter! Even I got to see the last three minutes!

And he didn't make Turin either... Kasabian were probably playing in some pub!

Also from JG

Barney took the piss out of Hooky during his big bass solo at the end of BM and Hooky threw his bass into the area between stage and crowd in a strop!
