This is the 3rd year of the festival and the goodest one yet imho. Most Swedes around here I've talked will be attending - how about ye ausländers? Unfortunately the organizers haven't provided the best info for non-Swedes, and this Swedish MySpace page seem to be the main source. Let's have an early roll-call + maybe help out with travel-tips for people coming in from abroad..

I’ll be there. Pentagram sealed the deal.

They announced Silver Mountain too late... I will be seeing HELL live in Falun instead.... GAAAAH!

I'd love to be there. Drakar will probably be out of this world. Alas, it's very unlikely I can afford to. Priorities must be made and this is not high enough on the list.

Apart from the late PENTAGRAM-addition, DRAKAR was indeed the most explosive & shocking feature this year - Incredible! Sorry to hear you won't afford the trip, Knut. What happened? Oil-wells running dry already?

@Warepire: I almost envy you. The HELL v/s Muskelrock debacle is a fucking DISASTER.

I will be there along with a lot of other crazy Danes.

We were there last year - it is just an amazing festival. And this years line-up is really strong!!!

Looks like THE festival of this summer but luckily for my liver I don't have holiday at that time. Atleast Thor plays in Helsinki few days before.

I moved north of the arctic circle, I'm taking my driver's license, buying a car, buying a house and my tenants aren't paying their rent. So yeah, the oil wells have run dry I guess

I will be heading back again this year. Stellar line up as usual.

About DRAKAR, Could someone link me to a blog or something where I may download some material? I still haven't heard them or found any info about them..

Buy the 2CD re-release from I HATE...

I'm in.

That was the plan at the muskelrock warmup party 20th May, Would like to hear them before though.

I was going to post up a thread about this but you bet me to it Dan! The line-up is the best any summer festival has to offer this year. I booked my flights several days ago. I'm spending a few days in Sandviken with some friends and then driving with them to the festival.

I have a friend traveling over to Stockholm on the Wednesday (1st June) and she's try to figure out how to get from there to Alvesta. Are there any people here car sharing from Stockholm with a spare seat in their car? If so, please e-mail me :) barry@occultforces.com - she will obviously contribute money towards petrol/diesel.

I'm looking forward to meeting some of you and drinking beers on Swedish soil for the first time!

I'll arrive on Friday at around lunch time. We'll probably camp under the trees up by the road just as last year.
