Yup, needs it's own thread. Who's going / up for going?

I am going for sure. As soon as the tickets go on sale I'm on it.

From the Metalcamp forum:

METALCAMP will be from 2nd to 7th of July
Camp opens, then the rest days of music

02.07.: camp opens
03.07.: day1
04.07.: day2
05.07.: day3
06.07.: day4
07.07.: day5

No bands have been confirmed as of yet, and tickets aren't on sale - But I'm starting to organise how the fuck I'm getting to middle of Slovenia.

"Metalcamp is going to take place in the beautiful Julisch Alps national park. The festival ground is situated on a peninsula between the turquoise mountain rivers Socca and Tolminka."

Last year was 114 Euro for the 7 day Camping+Festival ticket, so will prob be a bit more this year. Should be fucking great

90% certain that I am going, you can fly ryanair to Trieste in Italy, it's not far from there, or else I think easyjet fly to Ljubijana. I am thinking ov purchasing a large and luxurious camper van type vehicle for all these festivals.

Haha, a big camper would be fucking great. Or even a ford transit would me with a mattress in the back

I'm gonna do some research on flights when I get back from work the night.

Save a bed for Asslyn, Bren.

That's some picturesque backdrop for a festival.

if i have the money, i might try to make this once I see which bands are announced. Anyone know about how much the average plan ticket from tennessee to Slovenia costs?

i HIGHLY recommend taking the flight to ljbuljana. that city is fuckin fantastic in the summer and the women are SMOKIN.
metalcamp owns. far better atmosphere than the other festivals, its much more like a holiday. waking up hungover in your tent with the blistering heat is the worst thing about fests, but running into that ice cold river first thing in the morning cures any fuckin hangover

some photos from 08 metalcamp:

my buddy lee enjoying his hangover swin

notice the net to catch all the beer cans at the end of the fest

totally sweet gorge thats about 30 mins walk from the campsite

on top of one of the mountains near tolmin. my mate lee not feeling too well.

we walked in just as the first song started and still managed to get front row. the beauty of metalcamp

a couple of birds i dont remember conversing with. they were all over the place.

heres me saying : PARTY ON METALCAMP 09!

i think there were around six trains the day we left (every couple of hours or so) from ljubljana to tolmin with a quick stop in jesenice to change trains. from there, its a 1 euro shuttle bus that takes about 15mins

all up from ljubljana to tolmin was about 2 hours travel time.

if you're staying in ljubijana, i recommend booking at hostel celica. its a really popular hostel near the city centre. the best part about the hostel is that there is a party every night in the parking lot (its a huge parking lot). theres dudes selling cold beer and everything. when i was there, the party got to around 200 people, and got a little out of hand:tup:

Yeh, well it's going to be my first time at Metal Camp so I'm a little unsure on when I need to arrive at the campsite etc, so I don't know which days to get a flight out of here (Edinburgh) and back afterwards.

I was thinking leaving on the 1st and staying in a hostel somewhere, then heading through on the 2nd when the camp opens, then heading back to the hostel on the 8th (Day after music finishes) staying over that night and flying back on the 9th. Does that sound about right? And is hostel celica easy to book or is it always booked up etc. Cheers for the info

yeah that sounds right. we did exactly what you plan on except we arrived two days earlier to ljubljana. yeah celica is rather busy, so you'll have to book a few months in advance.

Their website is quoting like 25 euro per person for a night

Yeh maybe a day early would be a good idea. See what prices I can get flight wise... they don't look cheap.
