A bit mud and rain can be fun, but believe me, you don't want as much as 2012. Noone does.
Pina Coladas are a staple in our camp, just drop by! It's only the whole coconuts that we don't bring each year.
You will regret this

Can also happen after the unlucky 13th beer...
You will regret thisDefinitely hunting you down for one!

Challenge accepted!
Though letting you hunt blindly would be unfair, given that the camping area in Wacken is about the size of 200 football fields. Let's exchange cell numbers before Wacken then and I'll mix you a drink there!
Sounds goodI wasnt too sure if i was going to take a mobile or not as im not sure mine will work over there, but its something iv still to sort out.
If you have a normal UK cell phone, it'll work on the main land as well. There's no difference in frequency, compared to the UK.
Did the same 2 years ago, it worked.
Wont i need to let them know or pay extra for being in a different country?
(I should probably go in and ask)
Did everything still work alright?

In my case, it was (still is) a prepaid number I used.
I made a call (to Germany, a cell phone) from a Belgian cell number in London.
I pay my normal fee (within Belgium) plus a supplement of (at that time) €0.27 a minute. No formal changes, nothing I had to do at all!
The only thing is: you pay a supplement for calling outside the UK. It's (rate dependent on either the exchange and your provider!) 26 €urocents per minute plus the local charges when calling either the UK, or the host country
On the other way around, you also pay for recieving (taken) calls!
Txt messages are normal rate, reception is free. That's roughly it.
(but I have 3 different numbers, one Belgian, as I live there, one Duth, as I had one before I emigrated, and one German. Cheaper for the Germans to call me, but more expensive for people at home..![]()
Yeah im dreading trying to find my tent when its dark, im bad enough at smaller festivals. Where theres normally a big group of us.It should work, but true, those fucking roaming charges can make it expensive. Depends on your contract. I've heard some people from abroad buy cheap pre-paid cards for their cells over here.
Well, we'll figure something out. Just be aware that the camping area in Wacken is too big for blind searches. Worst is if what you're blindly searching for is your own tent.![]()

I might see if my dads gf can pick me up a phone and meet me in bremen if it will be cheaper?
Ah texting should be fine then, but i might double check to see if i can get a sim or pay in advance so i dont get a bad charge when i get home if i go over it.
...3 numbers sounds hard to keep on top of.
Carefully, can vary quite a bit by contract! But yeah, some individual calls or messages are usually no big deal. Just using it excessively abroad is often a bad idea.
