It's indeed very close to Belgium. It's in a place called Landgraaf. Look it up on google maps, you'll see it's close

Pre-sale starts in March. That is just silly.
Four months to wait until we can buy ourselves a ticket to this. :S
Kroket
30-11-2010, 05:53 PM
March?? Seriously! :(
And the festival is in June. That's really late to start the pre-sale.
March 19 is marked in my agenda now. Will buy a ticket then :)

the coldplay website shows ticket prices, and it says 75 for the day 150 for the weekend, but bare in mind that starting januari there might be a tax raise on concert tickets which will probably add about 10 euro's to each price...
curse the government... :dozey:
edit: I should credit my great friend who woke me with a text at 6:45 to tell me the coldplay news... ow don't they know me well...

For Pinkpop I don't know.
But for Werchter you can definetely buy day tickets. They cost 75 euro and will be on sale tomorrow.

Hi everybody!
I´m considering going to this festival.
Is there anyone who knows the area?
I´ve just learnt that you can´t camp when you buy only the one-day ticket.
What does the festival area look like, is there any affordable hotel/hostel close enough to go after the concert (without a car)?
Any tips?
Thank you!

Thank you!
I've worked at the festival last year. I think the best place to look for a hotel is Maastricht, it's much bigger than Landgraaf (so more hotels). You can take the bus from the festival to the train station, the last train to Maastricht leaves at 00:37 (maybe even later because of Pinkpop).
The festival area has two stages and a big tent.
wisna
10-02-2011, 06:28 AM
Thanks!
So you think we will be able to get anywhere by train/bus after the concert?
But we´re gonna fly the day after concert either from Koln or Dusseldorf, so Maastricht is the opposite direction.
I´ll try to work out if we could get e.g. to Aachen after concert.
wisna
10-02-2011, 07:16 AM
Well, there are no late trains to Aachen :cry:
Another question -
what time do the concerts usually end?
Is it all over by 1 AM or so?
Because at our festival there are smaller concerts all through the night, so maybe we could just wait for the first morning train, if there is anything happening the whole night...
I think it ends around 11 pm if I remember correctly, so maybe you can catch a train to Aachen.
wisna
10-02-2011, 12:13 PM
The last train to Aachen is at 22,34 :cry:
So it is all closed by midnight and nothing more to do there?
There is some kind of party on the camping area, that's about it.
wisna
10-02-2011, 12:18 PM
Well, we will see.
I searched for hotels in the Landgraaf area but they all seem to be booked out already.
Maybe it would be easier to buy the 3-day ticket and camp...
wisna
17-02-2011, 08:39 PM
And, in the end...
I decided to go to Venice, it´s easier for me.
So everyone going to Pinkpop, have fun!

For the Dutchies (Sorry if it's been posted already :
Coldplay wil eigen podium op Pinkpop
© reuters
De Britse band Coldplay wil bij de komende editie van Pinkpop een podium in het midden van het festivalterrein. Dat heeft festivaldirecteur Jan Smeets onthuld op de presentatie van de line-up voor dit jaar, meldt het AD. Het festival vindt op 11, 12 en 13 juni plaats in het Limburgse Landgraaf.
Volgens Smeets is de Britse band de duurste band uit de geschiedenis van het Nederlandse festival. Naast Coldplay zijn Foo Fighters en Kings of Leon de andere twee grote headliners op de komende editie.
Smeets maakte vandaag nog meer namen bekend die dit jaar zullen verschijnen op Pinkpop. Het gaat onder meer om De Staat, Manic Street Preachers, Elbow, Lifehouse en Simpleplan. Op maandag staan 30 seconds to Mars en White Lies geprogrammeerd met de Kings of Leon dus als slotact.
Coldplay staat ook op Rock Werchter deze zomer, maar of Chris Martin en co dezelfde eisen aan Herman Schuermans hebben gesteld voor hun optreden op Rock Werchter is niet geweten.
Edit: ok it has been mentioned, but I don't think they're really talking about a C stage actually
They mentioned the extra stage months ago when Coldplay was announced
http://www.nu.nl/muziek/2390544/coldplay-speelt-pinkpop.html
Article is in Dutch (sorry), it says that Coldplay wants an extra stage on the field and that they did that before. They did the c-stage thing before, that's why I thought about it. If they can do a c-stage in Nijmegen, they can also pull it off in Landgraaf.

At least there they mentiond it properly saying it would be the C-stage.

Some 50,000 tickets have been sold for the Pinkpop music festival during the first day people could buy them. Some 33,000 of them were weekend tickets, the other 17,000 were single day tickets.
The annual event in the southern province of Limburg will take place between 11 and 13 June. Performances will be given by a number of bands including Manic Street Preachers, Kaiser Chiefs, Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon.
Tickets were purchased by people in Holland, Belgium and Germany. Those sold in Germany have not yet been included in the tally. Around 50,000 weekend tickets are still available, as well as 10,000 day tickets for Saturday and as many for Sunday.

I so wanted to see them... :disappointed:
On the site they say something about parking from 8am onwards on Saturday...
What if I want to arrive earlier?
As far as I understood it it'll cost me 15€ or 10€ to park the car. :uhoh:
But I don't see any info on what to do when I want to arrive earlier and it would be nice if someone who has already been parking there could tell about their experiences. :nice:

Hi On 11 June I'm going to the festival pinkpop, to see Coldplay.
I think a lot of songs to be played this song and first Concert their I see and I'm very very excited and waiting lot of time but I really hope there would be not a situation Coldplay will play only six songs: (I wanted to know even though I know I did not really think anyone knows the answer Maybe some songs might be the fifth album, I know it's supposed to come out on October and yet if these are not songs so what I did think Viva era has already ended so if LP4 ends and LP5 not out yet what they will play , Christmas lights? hahaha I'dont think that. even Christmas is over ....
I just hope the end will be good:)
Thanks

33 days now.
I'm actually more looking forward to another concert in August at the moment...
Well, just regarding seeing Coldplay, not meeting some of you. :)
It's high time for the guys to give us *something* so I can get in proper excitement mode. :disappointed:

I noticed the date when I wrote it ofr my exam this morning... It's weird because feel like you wait for ages but finally it's already May and time keeps flying :)
There is a small chance that I can go anyway. I was a volunteer for Oxfam last year and I applied again for this year. Next week I will know more.

18-05-2011, 06:33 PM
^ Congratulations! :D
I don't know if it's been said already, but a few days ago I was watching the time scheme of Pinkpop and I saw that Coldplay and Ash were playing on the same day and I suddenly remembered that blog from Roadie #42 in which Tim Wheeler from Ash was in the studio to play with Coldplay. Do you guys think there will happen something between Coldplay en Tim Wheeler at Pinkpop, like they will play a song together or something?
SueDeNimes
18-05-2011, 06:43 PM
They'll be on different stages. :bigcry:
I was so looking forward to see Ash but no chance, I won't leave the Main Stage.
But their set will be over long before CP take the stage... so fingers crossed your speculation will become reality!
Milo.
18-05-2011, 06:51 PM
I don't know if i'm leaving main stage or not :P I really want to be in front when Coldplay is playing, but I also want to see a lot of other things! So I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do :P Last year it wasn't very hard to get at the front, but that was not with a headliner...

I stumbled upon this
(http://issuu.com/livexs/docs/pinkpopgids_2011_onlineversie?mode=embed&backgroundColor=ffd900&layout=http://skin.issuu.com/v/color/layout.xml)
You can get one at Free Record Shop, or just read it online :)
Thanks! :) And they'll probably hand them out at pinkpop, I think.
Some people start queuing for a campsite the evening before. Camping A is popular because it's next to Pinkpop.
If you have one big tent it shouldn't be a problem, if you have 4 separate tents it's better to arrive at the same time.
I found this on the Pinkpop website:
The best camping option for physically disabled people is Campsite A, which is more accessible and has more facilities for disabled people. For more information write to info@pinkpop.nl or call +31-46 475 67 17.
If I were you I should contact them, just to be sure. Good luck!

Thanks. We contacted them but we're still not sure wether we can all get on that campsite because we need this paper from the doctor and we can take one person with us. But we are with 5 ppl. It's just in case we can't all get on it even with the right papers if we could still get on camping A.
I just signed up for my shifts

We're gonna try to get there early though on saturday, because the parkings are quite far away. At least thats what Ive heard.
Anyone has good experience with the parkings?

They're not too far away. Rock Werchter for example, can be worse. There can be a lot of traffic going into the parking sites though.
Looking forward to it. Them playing festival gigs before the new album is out takes us back to the Parachutes/AROBTTH days. :cool:
Voor het eerst is Pinkpop de hele dag live te volgen via de twee themakanalen Cultura24 (http://cultura24.nl/) en 101TV (http://www.101.tv/). De volledige concerten zijn te zien op Cultura24 en de 3FM-uitzendingen zijn live op 101.tv te volgen en via 3fm.nl/socialradio. Bij live-muziek worden de concertbeelden van 3VOOR12 gebruikt.
English: you can follow Pinkpop live on Cultura24 (http://cultura24.nl/) and 101TV (http://www.101.tv/). I'm not sure if you can watch this outside of the Netherlands, but it's worth a try!

They will start at 9pm right? That seems so early. Normally they go on stage at around 10.30 - 11 pm.

Well, Pinkpop is known for having the headliners on ridiculously early. I think it's a shame, because you never get the full light show and extra atmosphere that the night time brings.
But on the other hand, it does mean you have to hold your pee a little less longer. :P

Rock Werchter usually has some pretty late headliners on Thursday and Friday as well.

I've never been to Pinkpop on a Saturday, but I can imagine there will be quite some traffic jams since it's the first day. I'll try to get there early (around noon probably).
I still haven't decided whether I'll immediately head for the main stage, since I also wanted to see Manic Street Preachers (they finish at 5 pm).

It's always difficult if there are other bands you really want to see, luckily for me the other bands that play on the other stages are not nescesairily bands I really want to see, just because I don't know them that well or it's not really my thing. Happy about that (:
I'll probably go early aswell, otherwise I'll be waiting at home, so I'd rather wait there:P

Do they still empty it out after every gig? I thought they stopped doing that?
Can anyone confirm this? If they still empty it out, I guess it wouldn't make any sense to queue in front of the (main) entrace gates in the morning to secure a good spot at the front?

Damn, I hope they changed the rules again. That would mean you can't see both Elbow and Coldplay from the front area.:cry:

I'm sorry, but I hope they didn't :/ It used to be horrible to have to wait in that area for 5 hours to ensure even a spot there. Maybe if you run you can get back in after Elbow.

this is the plan for the broadcast in the netherlands...
I asked Google translate and it said geen uitzding means there won't be a broadcast.
Do we have any fans in the netherlands who could help to clear the situation ?
Does it mean we only could get audio from the show from an radio show ?
Thanks to everyone who's able to speak dutch !;)
And for everyone going to the festival, my best wishes. Hope Coldplay will continue to only play awesome rockin' beautiful shows like the first ones... :)

other sources confirms that the whole festival will be played live on 101tv and cultura24. Both sites has streams. For the dutch people it won't be a problem to watch the concert. The only problem is that teh streams doesn't work outside holland. So hopefully another person can stream it on justin.tv or something.
And besides, at "nederland 3" (one of the biggest Television channel in Holland) will broadcast the highlights of the concert. So after the concert there will be HQ vids. It now just the question if there's a stream during the concert.

There's a fence to get into the very front area of the field: http://www.festivalinfo.nl/upload/9375/ytd4pwws81at3ot27l.jpg
They empty it out after every gig, and I REALLY want to be in the queue to get back in there for Coldplay (best view, fewer pushing and shoving).So they really let everyone at the front leave after each performance? Wow, never heard of that. Glad you're telling this now.
So you can't be front row for the entire day?
If you wanna see Coldplay from the front row, you have to be in front of the queue during the Elbow concert?
Sorry if I ask too many questions about this, but I'm trying to find out how this system works :s

Well, I called Buro Pinkpop (the organization of Pinkpop) and they don't really know. Apparently it's up to security to determine what happens up front.
So if anyone really wants to know, there's nothing to it but ask security tomorrow.
But I'm still assuming they empty the whole area, because in 2006/2007 there were some major problems with people getting crushed and overheated. Besides, this way everyone who actually wants to see the previous act gets to see them too, instead of not getting to the front row because of all the camping Coldplay fans.
I'd really like to meet some of you, btw! I'll be there all day, did you agree on meeting up somewhere?

I'll be there quite early (between 10:30-11:00) in front of the entrance. 2GreenEyes will also be there early.
If we are allowed to stay in the front area, I'll probably stay there. If not, I probably won't stay at the main stage. Instead, I'll go watch Manic Street Preachers and then return to the fence at the main stage.
I do understand why they'd want to empty the front area after each band. It can't be much fun for a band to perform in front of an audience where the first couple of rows only care about the headliner. On the other hand, there will also be a major crush when the gates open after Elbow.

Ah thank you! Will ask some security guy tomorrow.
If they don't clear the area out, I'll be in the front all day.
If they do clear it out after every band, I'm gonna camp the entrance to the front.
It's gonna be hard finding other coldplayers I think. We should all carry a "Coldplaying???"-banner :) I'm gonna wear my LIT shirt.

have been making plans all day how to get in the front row and stay there.
I'll be that guy who has chained himself to the fence up front, so you know..:sneaky:

I'm still searching for you all, but I think the solution will be a (dutch) proxy or someone who upload it on justin.tv.
If I was home during pinkpop I may put it on justin.tv, but I'm not home :(
