orejona + boom festival

[Guest phaeton]

heya there,

 

i'm planning to go to these two festivals in august and was wondering if there are any other people from the forum who are going there, as everyone i know seems to be either out of cash or going to greece ..

 

also, if you're going to attend these festivals how are you getting there? i'm still not sure what would be the best option (by public transport that is, i don't have a car) to get there from the netherlands .. friendlybus.com is probably the easiest and most comfy way of getting there but also the most expensive one, train is probably cheaper .. but i have no idea how accessible these two festivals are from the nearest trainstation, anyone who has got a clue?

 

oh and for those who don't know: orejona is a festival near bordeaux in france from 15 to 18 august with a line-up including alien project, color drops, digital talk, psyside, neuromotor, weirdo beardo, grapes of wrath, hyper frequencies, yumade, e.a. ; boom is from 21 to 25 august in portugal near the northern spanish border with a line-up including hux flux, skazi, xenomorph, talamasca, vibrasphere, gms, eat static, reefer decree, antix e.a. ..

 

so ... who else's going there?

 

bom bom,

We're a bunch going to Orejona fest, the line up & the site are just awesome..

Nice break before next goa season ;-)

I will be there too.

I hope to go to both festival but it depends on the bus

availability (voyages 4A) for the Boom (the bus is not confirmed

yet, too few people). If I had to go to Portugal by myself, I won't

be able to go to Orejuna.

So if there are some french people still hesitating to go to the Boom

with 4A, take your ticket right now (it is not that much expensive,

considering distance and festival access) and it will be OK for me

for both festival.

 

See you there !

you have to come to portugal, it will be great.

the conditions are 5 stars and the party is the best os the world.

don't hesitate. come.

Guys i was born in Bordeaux, so i can give you some advice for the Orejona :

 

you can get to Bordeaux from by many ways :

- Car (E19 from NL, then A14 or E19 in BE, then A2-A1 in the north of France, then A10-E5 from Paris...basically there are 1000 km from the Dutch border to Bordeaux, 600 km from Paris to Bordeaux). Near Bordeaux you have to take the 'pont d'Aquitaine' to cross the river, then stay on the 'rocade' (ring) a few minutes and take exit 7 direction Blanquefort and Eysines cities. You'll get on the N215. stay on it ~900m and go on the right to take the D2 road. Stay on this road during 30 kms untill you get at Cussac-Fort-Médoc where the party takes place....you'll see the greatest vineyards of the world on this road

 

- Bus with Voyages 4A (beware those guys cancelled the busses to the Voov last week)

 

-TGV (fast train, 3 hours from Paris Montparnasse to Bordeaux)

-Train 304 or 307 (don't remember) (6 hours from Paris Austerlitz to Bordeaux, beware even though this is a cheap train, it is a nightly one and there are thefts). Check the SNCF site.

 

 

- Plane to Bordeaux-Mérignac airport. then you have to take a shuttle to the Saint-Jean train station in the center of Bordeaux.

 

For those last 2 solutions, you have to take the Bordeaux-LeVerdon train and stop at Listrac station i think. It's a poor train, no reservation is needed. There are 3 trains on the 15 august : 7h43, 12h20, 19h28. The trip will take 40 mins. Then there will be only 3 or 4 kms to walk to reach the festival (road D5-E2, then D2 on the left).
