glking Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 great, thank you. any idea around what time the show will end on sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 great, thank you. any idea around what time the show will end on sunday? probably around 11.30 PM. But you'll have no trains for Paris at that hour, so you have to book a room or camp in Arras to return to Paris on monday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, the festival posted the entire schedule on their website, and the show will actually end at 1am (Coldplay will be on at 11.30pm ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueberry girl Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi everybody, first post! *waves* I have a few questions about Main Square Festival, hope it's the right thread to post since it's not directly about the band... We're trying to decide whether to go to Main Square or Werchter, Main Square is cheaper but I have some concerns about the venue - is there an international feel to the festival like in Werchter, or is it more of a French thing? (Nothing against the French ;) But it can make one feel left out, esp. if you don't speak the language) Also, I read in several places that the ground is uncomfortable because it's full of stones, is that true? Finally, is there anything to do on the festival grounds during the day? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi :) There is mainly French people, but there is also people from many countries like UK, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain... :) It used to be there until 2009 : Now it's here : It is less uncomfortable :) For your last question, you can enjoy the gigs, eat, drink, sit on the grass (mainly under trees), buy things, and I thinks that's all :lol: If someone is interested in, I can go to the Citadelle this weekend and take some pictures :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnaElisabeth Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thank you very much for posting the pictures, Shini! So is the ground sand or what is it? *considers what shoes to wear :P* See you at Main Sq! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwen88 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I keep seeing the huge advert at various train stations in Paris these days, kind of made me wanna come over here to build up the excitment a little more! 4 weeks now! :dance: @Anna: Glad I'm not the only one worried by the "what-to-wear- question :P The ground looks a bit sandy yes, so for me I guess it'd be something Converse-style shoes. See you all at Arras! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
