Is anyone here going to Ragnarok Festival in Germany?

[JayKeeley]

Or indeed, has anyone been before? Any opinions on the event? The line up for next March is pretty spectacular -- follow my sig.

I'd love to go, but financially can't really afford it. I'd love to see Arkona live, not to mention many of the other bands on the bill.

 

[Element_man]

I'm really digging the lineup, I'd love to go. However, I'm already booked for my metal 2008 with Wacken and maybe even Bloodstock, plus I also intend to see Heathen Crusade III, and anything else cool that happens in North America.

Not this year. I too will be going over the pond for Wacken (and if I can swing a long vacation, maybe another fest in August), and before that taking a trip to Chicago for paganfest/Powerfest.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Should be there.

 

[Dmanx Pit]

Chicago powerfest and Wacken/ Party San are taking up most of my funds this year, though Ragnarok has by far the best lineup of them all, it's too soon for me to financially commit to it when I'm on such a limited budget till the end of 2008.

 

[Immortal Rites]

I'll be at Ragnarök this March. I was there last year in 2007 and it was indeed an amazing festival. I was there with a friend and we camped out outside the concert hall. Pretty much a concert and a "tailgate" outside. The whole town was overrun by metallers for 2 days.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

If all goes as planned I'll be there.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Just booked a ticket

 

[Dr. Pete]

This is one of the reasons why I wish I lived in Germany.

 

[Reign in Acai]

You motherfuckers.

 

[valsgarde_guitarist]

I will be traveling to Germany again for the Ragnarok Festival this year. I was there in 2007 as well. I already have flights and tickets booked for this year.

 

[HelveteKrieg]

I am reasonably certain that I will be going

I could really use some advice, though - this'll be my first trip to Europe, and my first European metal fest! Are there any tips or tricks you can offer, and anything in particular that a small blonde girl traveling solo should watch out for at the fest?

 

[Reign in Acai]

Hang out with Nick(TheGreatDeceiver) and Brandon(Swizzlenuts), they're seasoned Euro vets that I'm sure will be more than happy to keep you out of harm's way!

 

[HelveteKrieg]

Haha, good ol' Swizzlenuts...I remember him from HCII, whatta character

 

[valsgarde_guitarist]

You shouldn't have much to be affraid of. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask and I could do my best to help you.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I'm going for sure, still haven't like... booked my plane or hotel yet though.

We'll be the small clique of Americans. Lets be as loud and obnoxious as possible.

Water, loads and loads of water. I'm going to be staying at the halls Ragnoroek is providing.

Maybe I'll see you around! ...and maybe not as drunk!

Fucking right!
