Hi fellow SMF's,

due to some last minute arrangements I can only now confirm, that I will be travelling to Belgium this Saturday to see T f'n S !!! As I am this late - and considering the size of the festival - I believe it's no use to contact any hotels in Dessel...??? Any Belgium-SMF's out there who could give me any hints?? Or any SMF's who know me and who are attending, where are you guys staying? As far as my plans so far gies, it seems that I'll be sleeping in my car. Hope it's allowed in Belgium... Goddamn now I have this Roxette -song playing in my head...gotta fix it quickly with something Twisted...!!!

Any feedback's appreciated!!

JP

Hey JP, I'm from Belgium, actually I live 5 min. from the festivalsite In Dessel there is a hotel called Alauda it's in the center of Dessel and there is a shuttle bus from there to the festival. +32 14 375071 info@alauda.be

It isn't allowed to sleep in your car at the festival, there is a festival campsite but if you got a one day ticket it will cost you €15

Hi CCX666,

thanks so much for your reply, really appreciated! You are the lucky one...you don't need to think too much about how to get to the festival and where to stay, right ;-) I just sent you a private note into your Inbox, so when you have the time, perhaps you could check it out.

Thanks again brutha-SMF!!

Check the hotels in the center of Mol (Corbie Hotel Mol). A festival bus from the railway station in Mol (1 minute walk from the hotel) can take you to the festival and back.
Stay away from Geel, 'cause there'll be the Belgian championship cycling on sunday. Hard to get away there on that day.
I'll take my bike for a 40 minutes ride to the fest and afterwards back home.
If you don't find a solution, send me a pm!

Graspop just changed it's header on their facebook page. It's a picture of Twisted Sister and the text "GMM - the hardest festival in Belgium". They are also going to announce the first headliner of GMM2013. Could it be that my favourite band will return to my favourite festival?

Graspop was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The highlight of my trip--I hope I get to go back in 2013!
