Liquicity Festival 2023

[jagged gorge]

That works

Gotta plan more later

[uneven ore]

Be me, buy P1 ticket
Get forced by guides to park far away anyways

[sweet prawn]

I was joking unless... 😳

[hot wren]

D:

[urban orbit]

happened to me too

[misty dawn]

I just hope I can burn that bag out of my boobs this year . I got sunburned pretty badly so the strap of my cross body bag is still visible across my chest lol

[hot wren]

Im borrowing a cart from a friend this year so we can just walk a few times with that

[orchid cave]

havent planned ahead yet but all i know is im definitely going by car

[urban orbit]

they only seem to look at your parking number at the start

[sweet prawn]

War scars

[urban orbit]

were parking tickets always this pricey?

[hot wren]

uhh

hmm

[orchid cave]

was 20 euro last time

[urban orbit]

15 in 2021

did they have both then?

[sweet prawn]

I'm pretending to work, saw something on friendzones? TLDR pls

[hot wren]

They be expensive

[sweet prawn]

Oof

[orchid cave]

how much did we pay per person last time, like 10?

would be 23 now

[sweet prawn]

I paid 20 iirc

WAITAMINUTE

Gotscammed

23 isn't too bad for a nice spot with the homies imo

If everyone actually pays this time lmao

[hot wren]

True but we're paying for things we can bring on our own

[hot wren]

huh

[orchid cave]

you paid 10

[sweet prawn]

Ah

Okay

Covid memory

[urban orbit]

i'm hoping this time the car entrance will be smoother

but it probably won't be

[orchid cave]

that was rough yeah

[urban orbit]

was a nightmare last time

[orchid cave]

hopefully better at least on Thursday

[hot wren]

We were there at 09:45 ish

[jagged gorge]

3km line this time lfg

[hot wren]

and we didnt really have any problems?

[sweet prawn]

I'm hoping the 6km up to the festival site by car goes smoother lmao

[flint saffron]

This 😭🤣

Stood there for so long

[sweet prawn]

Got there around 12, then stuck in traffic for about an hour and a half lmao

[jagged gorge]

Oh it was that long lmao

[urban orbit]

I was there with @dense pecan and it took a few hours iirc

[uneven ore]

Also we only had enough space because we had a perfect location and free space to expand to outside of our zone lol

[hot wren]

oof yeah thats rough

[ivory crow]

Wait so are we actually gonna have to buy a friendzone ticket if we all wanna chill out in the same area or are we just gonna wing it and build a Discord Server Tent Fort?

[hot wren]

I guess we wing it

[jaunty hull]

I'm definitely shuttle bussing after what I heard last year about experiences with cars haha

[hot wren]

i have a thursday ticket 🤷‍♂️

[sweet prawn]

Traffic stood still so long people just got out of their cars and took a piss in the fields

[orchid cave]

its choice between having a dedicated area for us or having to fight it out pretty much

[sweet prawn]

Or passengers got out and just walked instead

[ivory crow]

Id say so too cuz almost 400€ is a BIG OOOOOOF

[jagged gorge]

You can buy an area

[orchid cave]

if we dont have a friendzone spot and people come on Friday, there might be no more spots left cus randoms put their tent down near to us

[jagged gorge]

But nothing stops us from just going to a spot

[uneven ore]

Why didn't any of you manage to win the friendzone in the giveaway smh my head

[sweet prawn]

If we do wanna do a friendzone with the same'ish group as last year, i'm down if it's 23eu

[misty dawn]

Me and my friends always fucking bomb rush the campsite and spread everything the fuck out for friends that arrive later

[hot wren]

yeah it's not too bad

[ivory crow]

Hmm yeah I guess it would be kinda hard to unofficially "reserve" a spot

[urban orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/nbc-superstore-black-friday-gif-9684879

[misty dawn]

Like last year I entered through the backstage with 6 tents just so I could already spread shit out before the hoard

[jagged gorge]

It honestly worked decently in 2019 outside the people telling us not to enter an area just because

[jaunty hull]

Thankfully we had @spare herald and @sleek wraith to do that for us but they weren't able to claim as much as we would've liked

[ivory crow]

The ol approach of just putting your towel on the bench in the early morning so noone steals your slot I see

[hot wren]

we germans and dutchies are not so different

[ivory crow]

Indeed

[hot wren]

[ivory crow]

When on Thursday does the campsite open again?

[misty dawn]

17:00 - 21:00

[jagged gorge]

The number one thing Finnish people going to like spain complain about, Germans putting down towels at 5am

[jaunty hull]

That's not just a Finnish thing haha

[misty dawn]

Thats why you throw those towels in the pool

[hot wren]

oof that's traffic time when we start driving

pain

[orchid cave]

i would be down if we knew that the area is actually going to be big enough

[hot wren]

might as well leave at 2 and camp at the entrance till 5

[jaunty hull]

Having watched The Inbetweeners Movie, I know that's not a great idea

[orchid cave]

last year we had to go outside of our area by quite a lot

[spare herald]

It was so sad when we had to concede space because we just didn’t have the numbers

[uneven ore]

The sea lions are worse
https://youtu.be/AELZPgarsps

[jagged gorge]

Queue case of beer

[misty dawn]

Never back down thats the trick

[jagged gorge]

Have a few bevs and chill

[hot wren]

yeah :/ or we would have to do 2x120

but then thats 46 and

expensif

[sweet prawn]

Yeah if we can get some kind of guarantee for that, i'm down

[spare herald]

Yeah my non confrontational ass hates that idea haha

[jaunty hull]

Unfortunately we had to deal with a short bloke lugging a tent with him that he didn't even use

[sweet prawn]

No hablos anglais

[misty dawn]

You need a chaos gremlin in your group

[ivory crow]

I see! I wonder how big the percentage of thrusday access tickets is compared to total event tickets

[jagged gorge]

We just need Sophie with the sass again

[spare herald]

So true

[jagged gorge]

And Amber

[jaunty hull]

Bruh we had one

And the day after fest was painful because of it

[jagged gorge]

Didn't understand a word, heard the attitude back in 2019

[ivory crow]

I managed to reserve a spot fot my buddy Hunter last year before we carried his Kartent over

[hot wren]

if we have a group behind us who go to sleep at 3 at night and wake up at 7 behind us again I will throw them all in de sloot

[spare herald]

Oh they were gremlin (derogatory)

[jaunty hull]

OI DAVE, MENU

[misty dawn]

When someone approaches with their tents;

''Hey Im sorry but we need this space for our friends they're in the waiting line but you can camp there'' And then point to an empty spot. If they dont agree you just hit them with a guildtrip

[jagged gorge]

Don't worry, I'll scream awful things in Finnish at 2AM again

[hot wren]

good

we will just start blasting cha cha cha cha at full volume back at them

like at

[jaunty hull]

You scream Finnish, I'll scream the infamous chant

[hot wren]

3:45, just when they're entering deep sleep

[misty dawn]

I want to campground gods to give me silence at 2am again

[spare herald]

[jagged gorge]

Don't know how showing our WoW guild would help but aite

[misty dawn]

kill their cleric

[sweet prawn]

They traveled all the way from new zealand for their first festival D: and then just quickly send your very dutch friend a text that he's gotta speak in a funny accent the first hour he gets there

[misty dawn]

New Zealand can camp in another spot this is mine

Bribing people with cans of beer also works

[ivory crow]

The first part alone worked for me last year when the campsite was already hella crowded sooo... Who needs the polite part 🤣

[misty dawn]

Mostly people are hella chill

[ivory crow]

Depending on how many thursday access tickets there are the campsite shouldnt be as contested on that day at least 😅

[jaunty hull]

I can't really call it but I imagine it won't be too bad

[misty dawn]

Still gonna bomb rush that shit. Ive camped at the same spot for 3 festivals in a row now and its the sweet spot

[jaunty hull]

Airbnb the night before last year was definitely a call

[ivory crow]

Unless you miss the exit and wanna move into the line of cars because you dont wanna go around or hold up traffic. Got yelled at last year cuz I did that 🤣🤣🤣

[amber spruce]

That was such a vibe

Wish we didn't discover the rooftop when it was pitch black 🤣

[orchid cave]

fr

[jaunty hull]

I mean didn't we only get in when it was pitch black? 😂

[amber spruce]

Well I mean like wish we knew it was there so we would've went there earlier haha

And the cat 🥺

[gleaming rock]

Should have offered them brownies to find another spot

[jaunty hull]

I just hope this year doesn't take like 4 hours to get from Eindhoven to Amsterdam

[jaunty hull]

What an actual cutie

[amber spruce]

Ffs yea

And the 4hr security line

[ivory crow]

Is it the perfect distance between toilets, festival entrance and food court? 🤣

Im curious what camping with y'all will be like ☺️ (If you guys will have me that is!)

[jaunty hull]

The 4 hour security line?

[misty dawn]

The security lines at the airports were actually stupid last Summer

[amber spruce]

Airport

[urban orbit]

did you bury stuff there?

[jaunty hull]

I don't remember it being that bad tbh

Was that on your flight home?

[misty dawn]

No Im not a mole I dont burry stuff

[amber spruce]

Yeah it was ridiculous, I stood there for like 3.5hrs

[tribal oasis]

I wonder what it'll be like flying to a country on my own lol

[amber spruce]

Yeah

[tribal oasis]

Never done it before on my own

[jaunty hull]

F

That'll be why I didn't experience it 😂

[misty dawn]

Yeah same for me at Schiphol. Was like 3.5/4 hours to get through security

[orchid cave]

ah its easy, you'll be fine

[hot wren]

yeah Schiphol was crazy last year

[tribal oasis]

I mean I travel anyway on trains etc. but just never done it on flights

[jaunty hull]

Yeah it's hard to fuck up

[amber spruce]

Good thing I was expecting it so I got to the airport like 4hrs before my flight haha

[hot wren]

Dropped my parents off for their flight and they didnt even have time to sit down for a bit and get a coffee

[orchid cave]

well theyve had a year to improve it, lets see what happens xd

[spare herald]

Yeah it was pretty bad when I went home after the fest too, at least Schipol had air con

[amber spruce]

It's easier to fuck up travelling on the tube than it is fucking up flying to another country

[tribal oasis]

true

[hot wren]

i mean atleast the tube goes every 5 mins

[tribal oasis]

one wrong stop and its pain

[amber spruce]

Think a lot had to do with the strikes

[hot wren]

Yeah and not enough personel

cuz they pay peanuts

[amber spruce]

Yeee

[orchid cave]

post covid personell shortage

[tribal oasis]

"what do you mean there's no more flights to amsterdam "

[amber spruce]

When I got to the security lines I saw why it took so long, only 2 of the like 10 lines were working 🙂

[ivory crow]

For real tho those NL roads confused the shit outta me too

[amber spruce]

Or I mean got to the front

[amber spruce]

What NL roads

I mean the tube

[tribal oasis]

I'm just glad I got my passport

feels like it's finally starting to all come together

need to punt on camping though, wasn't sure but I think I'll do it, just need to wait on my bday now for the money

[hot wren]

the dutchies getting ready to hit the BUT OUR INFRACTRUCTURE IS SO GOOD button

[ivory crow]

I meant in addition to the tube 😅
The roads last year were very confusing for me and my google maps. Especially cuz there was like one crossing whrre there was several parallel roads and I took the wrong one

[hot wren]

ah

[amber spruce]

I meant the London tube but yeah

[ivory crow]

Ahhhh

[tribal oasis]

bri'ish transport

[hot wren]

urm ackshually

[ivory crow]

Like..... WHY

[hot wren]

pre sorting babyyyy

[ivory crow]

That intersection was a nightmare 🤣🤣

The signage was sooooo bad

[hot wren]

idk im used to it HAHA

[tribal oasis]

I'm looking forward to hopefully spending some time in dam too before the fest, really want to explore

or after the fest

[ivory crow]

Google maps just struggled with it had and I ended up having to U-Turn a bunch of times in some industrial and office district 🤣🤣🤣

[hot wren]

hahaha

oh well

[ivory crow]

This time I know not to trust the app

[sweet prawn]

Night out in ams to go barhopping after the fest was a vibe

[tribal oasis]

that does sound hella fun

I do think it'll depend on what my job situation is by that point

I need to look at what I'll be doing beyond university

[jaunty hull]

Damn now I'm looking through the Google Drive of photos/vids the team took last year

[orchid cave]

pre fest food and drinks was also fun, but not sure we can do it again if we're going to festival site on thursday already

[jaunty hull]

Good times

[tribal oasis]

stupid question but will the fest food places be open on thursday then?

[hot wren]

hmm

Good question

[jaunty hull]

Could potentially do something in Alkmaar but we'd need to get to the fest site before the entrance closes

I think they are, yeah

[orchid cave]

i wanna get there as soon as it opens up tbh

[hot wren]

Yeah

opens at 5

so thats means getting through rush hour for us

[sweet prawn]

Set up and meet at festival site, have nothing to do on thursday, head into town with the gang?

[orchid cave]

im down to hang on wednesday evening too if people are flying in early, but probably not right

[orchid cave]

nah thursday is camp vibe evening

[tribal oasis]

my hope is to do that, but no guarantees yet tbf

[orchid cave]

at least for me

[tribal oasis]

I wanna plan for that

[hot wren]

Yeah

[sweet prawn]

Early dinner and be back in time for campvibes

[orchid cave]

either way we're bringing bbq stuff again

[urban mural]

I don't even have a ticket yet

[tribal oasis]

sounds good tbf

[orchid cave]

gotta eat some grassburgers

[jagged gorge]

I'm flying in a week before to catch a gig

[orchid cave]

oo youre staying a whole week?

[jagged gorge]

Ye, week and a half actually

[uneven ore]

I took the wrong exit and later the wrong turn but idk if it was bad design or me being stupid

[jagged gorge]

Men I Trust is in Europe again so I am seeing them on the 12th

[orchid cave]

nice

[river pelican]

Probably same amount as regular tickets cause campsite size doesn’t change

[jagged gorge]

Still needs planning but thinking about seeing some stuff @worn zinc suggested

[tribal oasis]

I'd have guessed they might be selling less just for like crowd control and such

iirc most fests sell less early access than tickets just bc that logistically sounds like a nightmare for most people to go on the thursday when the whole point is to spread it out a bit

[river pelican]

That might be true yeh

[ivory crow]

That seems counterproductive to the point of the thursday access tho (Cuz I thought the point was to spread the wave of people incoming to the festival a bit)

[misty dawn]

I remember when they used Friday as an early way to come to the festival then it formed into a full festival day

Inb4 Thursday will become a full festival day in the future

[river pelican]

I feel like I have to get Thursday access if I don’t want to wait 300 years Friday morning
Regarding what you guys are writing…

[ivory crow]

Might very well be, looking at how stacked this year is in terms of artists

[river pelican]

I wiiiiish

[ivory crow]

May well need a 4th major stage soon 🤣

[misty dawn]

Nebula was already WAY bigger than it used to be

[urban mural]

Wouldn't mind a 4th stage for more underground artists tbh

[ivory crow]

I have no reference of that so I will take your word for it 😅

Inb4 Nebula becomes a fully built out stage

[hot perch]

nebula absorbed the ball pit stage

[jaunty hull]

Was that not us at Nebula last year?

[urban mural]

True tbf but I also wouldn't mind an announced underground artist stage :P

I know it's the whole gimmick of nebula

But mmm

idk

[jaunty hull]

Were the artists at Temple announced at all?

[urban mural]

No

[misty gate]

wtf bit was temple?

[urban mural]

I don't think the stage was even announced at all

[hot wren]

With the haybales

[urban mural]

It was more like a "oh there's music playin there"

Maybe temple can become the new nebula

[jaunty hull]

It was off near like the games tent etc

Lil tent where DJs were playing slower bits

[misty gate]

ohhhh the lil trippy bit at night, i love that place

yeah now i know it

[jaunty hull]

Yeah we briefly went in on Saturday night to stay warm before ultimately deciding on Silent Disco

[hot perch]

Temple is the place you seek cover at when it's summer 2019 and the whole place gets flooded over the course of four minutes

[uneven ore]

4 min? Sounds a bit slow

[indigo geyser]

Hey guys, question about liquicity festival this year. A few friends of mine only want to come for a day. But we couldn't find the day tickets. Does anyone know whether these will became available :O?

[digital harness]

I think they will be available later?

[jaunty hull]

Yeah I think they’re prioritising weekend tickets at the moment, so day tickets should come later

[ivory crow]

They always come out as part of phase3, dont they?

[hot perch]

There's always a limited quantity available at some point

[misty kestrel]

dont forget ur wings

[autumn harbor]

Hot wings?

[ivory crow]

@steady ginkgo's

[steady ginkgo]

Basically the same thing ey? 😏

[ivory crow]

Exactly 😏

[lean wraith]

Selling one phase 1 (with liquicity necklace) weekend ticket €129.99 😄

[ivory crow]

https://www.ticketswap.de/ 😛

[lean wraith]

Its on ticketswap but I wanna offer a discount 🙂

[autumn harbor]

Volunteer sign up started 👀

[ivory crow]

Whats that about?

[steady ginkgo]

You can do volunteer work at the festival.

[ivory crow]

Ahhh I seeee

[steady ginkgo]

With a few benefits. I'm not sure but I think you'll get to camp on the staff site and free festival access?

[clever juniper]

If I want to bring my own tent and skip the kartent is that possible

[ivory crow]

Yes that is what most people do

[gleaming rock]

What do you mean by skipping the kartent? You can definitely bring your own tent.

It's what most people do

[ivory crow]

Kartent and other paid accomodation options are purely optional

[clever juniper]

Never been to a festival abroad

Actually bought a ticket to 2017 and couldn't go

😭

Do you still need to be vaccinated to come to the Netherlands or is that off

[misty dawn]

from the Dutch goverment;

[ivory crow]

Its not something that is enforced at the festival but it is always a good idea to get your shots for your own safety and that of others.
I dont know if it is enforced if youre a non-EU citizen and arrive via plane

[ivory crow]

Now THAT is handy!

[misty dawn]

https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/tackling-new-coronavirus-in-the-netherlands/preventing-respiratory-infections

[clever juniper]

Now if the festival is on the 21, when should I book my flight to? The 20?

[misty dawn]

List of current corona ''advice'' so it's not set rules you NEED to follow. But you will be a bit of a dick if you sneeze in someone's face

[clever juniper]

Imagine not sneezing into your elbow

[ivory crow]

Festival runs from 21st through to the 23rd.

[clever juniper]

Yes, fixed

[ivory crow]

You can gain early access to the campsite on the 20th as well of you buy a thursday access ticket

[misty dawn]

Depends on personal preference; Do you like to have some time to relax/get used to being in a new place or do you want to go straight from the plane to the festival?

[clever juniper]

It's more I don't want to miss on the festival because my flight arrived too late

[ivory crow]

If you dont wanna miss out on anything you should schedule your flight for the day before the festival.
Do keep in mind if you arrive on the day prior you will need some form of accomodation outside of the festival

for that day*

[clever juniper]

Could totally sleep in the airport

[misty dawn]

Then it might be easier to fly in on the 20th and get Thursday camping access, that way you wont miss anything

[ivory crow]

Yeah if you get thrusday access you will be able to set up on the 20th already. That way youd get the absolute maximum experience

You can also schedule your return flight for the 24th, cuz the campsite stays open until.... I wanna say noon on the 24th? Someone correct me if I am wrong

[misty dawn]

They havent released the opening hours of the campsite yet. But if it's anything like the former years its until 12:00 ish yeah

(Also dont mind me Im going to post some useful stuff to pin so it's easier to find for people)

https://festival.liquicity.com/faq/

[ivory crow]

Wheres the Pim Server Mommy packing list?

[clever juniper]

Hmmmm I wonder if after the festival I should travel a bit in the Netherlands (or prior)
It'd be lame just to come to the festival and head home

[misty dawn]

Was already on it

[clever juniper]

And quite expensive

[misty dawn]

I might make a 3.0 version, but honestly 99.9% is already on there

[ivory crow]

Its a good opportunity to check out the Netherlands a bit. A good few people hang out in Amsterdam the days or even the week prior to the festival.

Its definitly a nice place to have a stroll through

(Or so ive been told, ive not personally been there yet)

[clever juniper]

Yeah that's what I figured, to meet with cool people that go to the festival too/meet people in the festival and chill with them later

[ivory crow]

If you run around amsterdam with a Liquicity themed anything prior to the fest youre surely gonna bump into some people 😅

Also, do not make the idiots mistake I did and assume that hot weather during the day means tropical nights so you dont need a sleeping bag. It does NOT 🤣

You will very much want that sleeping bang 🤣

[clever juniper]

Hahaha awesome

Now how much money do you assume do you need for food, alcohol and drinks at the festival itself?

And in your experience, should I get tickets asap or I'll be able to find something in ticket swap in 2 months from now?

[jagged gorge]

Very much depends on how much you eat and drink and how much stuff you bring in to the campsite

A beer is 1 Liq aka like 3ish euros

[ivory crow]

I got by fine with a 100€'s but I also had some stuff to eat at the campsite for breakfast and dinner snacks

[jagged gorge]

Food is 2-5 if my memory isn't too bad

[clever juniper]

2-5 what

[ivory crow]

yeah 2-5 per portion depending on what you get

[clever juniper]

Liq?

[ivory crow]

Yes

Portions be big tho

[clever juniper]

Ah

[jagged gorge]

Yeah, you use tokens on a card you buy

[clever juniper]

Not that expensive

[jagged gorge]

I bought 100€ worth before and topped up with like 50€+

I like my beer

[digital harness]

Same i think

[ivory crow]

I had someone alongside me who was very generous with the beers 😅

[steady ginkgo]

I'm I always have the card on me for some reason 😜

[ivory crow]

Mine remains in my festival sling bag

[jagged gorge]

I have my 2019 one

[clever juniper]

A beer is like 500ml?

[jagged gorge]

0,33

[steady ginkgo]

This sais 2017 on the back, can't remember if it was from that year though

[jagged gorge]

1.5 liq for a 0.5l

[clever juniper]

Not expensive at all

[jagged gorge]

Not that bad

[misty dawn]

Pretty standard for Dutch festival prices

[ivory crow]

1 Liq for 0,33l
1.5 for 0.5l

[misty dawn]

Water is free btw

[ivory crow]

Same for germany too.

[jagged gorge]

Loved the 9€ shit lagers at the metal gig I went to

[ivory crow]

it is?

[misty dawn]

Just bring your own empty bottle and then you can fill it up at one of the taps

[ivory crow]

Ohhhh I thought you meant the bottled stuff

[misty dawn]

Buying a water bottle costs money but you can reuse it

[ivory crow]

I hope there will be more taps this year

[misty dawn]

Probably not

[ivory crow]

Sadge

[misty dawn]

There's always lines at the taps

[steady ginkgo]

You just need to stand in line for about 30 mins before you can reach the slowly dripping faucets.

[jagged gorge]

Hard to add more than there are sources

[misty dawn]

Longest Ive ever waited was around 10 minutes

[steady ginkgo]

Guess I have bad timing then lol

[misty dawn]

If I saw that one point was super crowded I would just walk to another one

[ivory crow]

Fair

[steady ginkgo]

The worst was when I just wanted to wash my hands after toilet 😩

In line for just rinsing ur hands lel

[ivory crow]

I mean those taps are fed by mobile containers arent they?

Looked like it to me at least

[jagged gorge]

Genuinely don't remember

I'm not engineer brained enough to start figuring out stuff while drunk at a festival

[misty gate]

tasty water

[ivory crow]

I remember some team with a lil tractor hauling in a big blue container in the morning

[ivory crow]

Hahaha priorities 🤣

[jagged gorge]

That was for the toilet cleaning afaik

At least I saw one emptying toilets

[ivory crow]

Naaaah those were the big metal barrel and the white tanks

Oh well. We probably wont die of thirst 🤣

@clever juniper BTW since I was on the topic earlier: Its a good idea to bring a slingbag or fanny pack or something of the likes, so you can keep your things safe and you dont lose em

[clever juniper]

I bet a locker is important too

And in your experience, should I get tickets asap or I'll be able to find something in ticket swap in the next month or so
Not sure I'll make it in a 100% and don't wanna risk getting a ticket now

[ivory crow]

I managed to get by without one personally, but it is always a good idea

[sinful lotus]

last year it was pretty easy to find a cheap ticket on ticketswap

but a lot of tickets for events tend to sell out nowadays (cuz covid is pretty much gone etc)

[ivory crow]

Yeah you are pretty safe to sell the ticket if you cant make it

[clever juniper]

That's what I did in 2017

But lost some money

I even paid for a flag and never got it

[sinful lotus]

im pretty sure the flag you had to pick up at the entrance

[jagged gorge]

Camping shop

Or merch shop

Can't remember

[ivory crow]

Merch shop, got mine there last year

[digital harness]

A guy I know literally bought his ticket on the way there

[clever juniper]

Yeah
They offered to send it to me if I pay for the shipping and it wasn't worth it

[steady ginkgo]

I'm too late booking my bungalow 😩

We were planning to get a 6person bungalow on a nearby camping. Apparently I was not the only one with that idea.

[ivory crow]

lol

[worn zinc]

count on it being 3.80 - 4EUR this year

[ivory crow]

Probably

at least like 3.50

[worn zinc]

Most festival & club prices have hiked severely since last year

anything near 3,50 is cheap nowadays

[ivory crow]

yeah cuz price inflation in terms of food and drink has been out of control

I dont think this is sustainable and hope that it goes back to normal some day again >.>

[gleaming rock]

😩😩😩

[misty kestrel]

It wont go back down a lot, deflation is bad as well

[sweet prawn]

Does the amount of drinks we can bring ourselves go up according to inflation aswell?

[misty kestrel]

Best we can hope for is minor inflation

[sweet prawn]

I think the best we can hope for is somehow wages catching up with inflation

[ivory crow]

I hope it does. But then again, yoi just go through multiple times with different people 🤣

[misty kestrel]

Yeah

[ivory crow]

Last year I brought in a 24 pack of beer cans and it wasnt even checked

[ivory crow]

Luckily mine is doing that for now

I got an extra 250€/month since february and it will rise by the same amount again in June

[jagged gorge]

By October I'm going to make 30 cents more an hour

[sweet prawn]

Y'all hiring?

[ivory crow]

Lol if you wanna work for a comparatively small salary in a company thats kinda bad sure

By bad I mean in terms of management culture

[inland horizon]

Sounds like IT

[ivory crow]

Nailed it

[inland horizon]

We all have it the same I see - I mean I can't complain - literally, otherwise the HR would have a coffee with me

[sweet prawn]

So the same as literally every other job i've ever had

[ivory crow]

Company is small so im directly in touch with my boss for everything and its MEH

Hes got some very wierd ideas of how to run a business and how to treat his workers.

[inland horizon]

Adventurous

Yeah - that's not good 😅

[steady ginkgo]

I work in a very tiny company in IT as well

There's 3 of us. Then the boss codes custom software and his wife does "administration", but forwards most of that work to us...

[orchid cave]

me too, a 1 person company in fact 😎

[steady ginkgo]

You ZZP in IT?

I dunno ZZP in English lol

[orchid cave]

i did that for a while but not anymore

[steady ginkgo]

Sounds tough to do IT as a ZZP.

[orchid cave]

yeah i make a lot more money now than i did as a freelancer

[inland horizon]

I work at a Norwegian company which became a corporate over the last 5 years and we actually got our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging team yesterday - sooo I think that officially counts as corporate now

Anyway

[inland horizon]

This is gonna be useful ❤️ I forget something every fucking time

[ivory crow]

My boss has some major productivity paranoia, hates home office and such

Hes very old fashioned in that regard

[inland horizon]

Aaah, one of those

We have a boss like that in our office

So I know that feeling

[orchid cave]

oof

[inland horizon]

It's not that prominent as we transitioned into the more corporate environment ... buut we didn't get any home office until covid happened 😄

[hot perch]

I'm applying for a job now and the salary scale is still the same as it was when I checked the same job listing a year ago (the upper end even moved down quite a bit)

[steady ginkgo]

Mine was. Now he's like: you 3 kinda run the company and rake in all the money. So he's just in the background doing his own thing.

I'm glad he let us handle it.

[ivory crow]

Ours micromanages too hard

[inland horizon]

That's an oof for sure

The sign-ups to Volunteer at Liquicity Festival 2023 have opened!

Fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ON8DbIKXyX3nZrNFdcY19T4wDCx60rdHU-Qb6xTJk2E to sign up.

Volunteering at Liquicity Festival is insanely fun and rewarding! You volunteer for a minimum of 12 hours and in return you get:

• A full refund on your Ticket!
• 2 LIQ per hour once you have reached the 12 hours
• A Liquicity 2023 Crew shirt!
• Your own chill area backstage (Volunteer Hub) with all the other amazing volunteers (and coordinators)
• Breakfast, lunch, dinner or night-snack included depending on your shifts (drinks are always free at the Volunteer Hub)

This year there are a few changes that we are super excited about:

• We have a Bar Team now! After years and years of requests, we're finally able to host Volunteers at the Bars!
• We have shortened most shifts from 6 to 4 hours. This way more people can find shifts that fit their schedule at LF23
• Since the camping opens up on Thursday, the Festival Build Up starts a day earlier too. So there are more teams that get to enjoy LF23 longer!

If you have any questions feel free to contact @lone osprey - Chief Volunteer Coordinator for Liquicity Festival 2023

[ivory crow]

I like the idea of bar work but then again, im looking to get away from work 🤣

[inland horizon]

Same

[worn zinc]

I did the build and breakdown shifts in 2 separate years, and it was one of the best times I've ever had

everyone doing the volunteering is super friendly and it's really nice to see a festival being built/broken down if you've never done that before

aaaand it has the added benefit of you being able to enjoy the festival to the fullest 🙂

[tight plinth]

Yeah I did the buildup two or three times too, really great vibes all around

And walking in to an empty grass field on the first day and seeing all the lights and decorations in their full glory on the last evening before the festival is something special

[orchid cave]

build up sounds fun, breaking down definitely not haha

[cedar oracle]

How can i break down if my body was broken the last day

[orchid cave]

exactly

[ivory crow]

Yeah, I considered that, but unfortunately I have the old officr sickness of back issues. My sister does physical therapy and she warned me not to do heavy lifting, or I might end up with a disc prolapse

[worn zinc]

Ah yeah, that's rough

You wouldn't want to do bar shift too then, since you'll be standing for long shifts and that's very hard on your back too

[worn zinc]

the sleeping with you part was the best

[ivory crow]

Kinky

I was searching for huh cat

But this seems more like a

[river pelican]

Bombastischer Seitenblick? 🤔

[hot wren]

https://youtu.be/z8dyJYeRkzI

Ppl be translating this into their own languages like the oh no cringe cat

[river pelican]

…..I honestly didn’t know this one so….. I‘m sorry…..😳

[hot wren]

Thats okay hahaha

[river pelican]

I love this gif tho

[lone osprey]

Every Volunteer shift is amazing no bias

If people have questions regarding volunteering just hit me up! It's still pretty early (we're 2 months ahead of the 2022 schedule) but I'm pretty sure I can help out with questions

[dusky orchid]

When are the shifts finalized? If we sign up for stuff now, will we be able to modify it once timetables are released? I'm terrified of booking a slot that will conflict with artists I really wanna see

[autumn harbor]

Hey,
Thank you for your work and hope you're having a great day!
I have a similar question to the one already asked. Is it possible to change my submissions already or do I have to wait until the confirmation?
I don't know if I can make it to everything I've submitted and would like to change some of possible 😅

[verbal cove]

@lone osprey what skills exactly do you need for the BAR shifts? I worked in a restaurant before (mostly kitchen, but also in front) and worked bars of smaller events before, is that enough?

[amber spruce]

Well I assume you need to have bar skills 😅

[verbal cove]

Yeah that is how far I got too 😅

[amber spruce]

I work as a bartender and have done loads of festivals - honestly if you can open a can and pour vodka and red bull together, you'll be fine haha. It's especially easy at Liq as you use the wristband to pay

[verbal cove]

They having wristbands this year?

🙏

Thanks

[amber spruce]

I mean I assume so

Or I mean the Liquicity card thingy

[verbal cove]

Wristband would be sweet tho, nearly lost my card in the fox nosh pit 😅

[amber spruce]

Yeah I like when festivals have a wristband instead of the card, but tbf I would just prefer if I could pay with my card haha

Hate having to top up all the time

But it's mainly because the wifi can cut out which means none of the card machines will work

[verbal cove]

Yeah and if you forget to get your money on it refunded later

[amber spruce]

Or when you have like 2€ left and you don't know how to spend it haha

[verbal cove]

Doesn't even pay for a beer 😭

[tight plinth]

You find @cedar oracle and you go on a card-emptying-spree on the last evening

ez

[river pelican]

online refund of whats left on the card/wristband would also be an option.

[worn zinc]

they always do that no?

at least for festival

[verbal cove]

The fee you have to pay to get your money back is nearly the same as what you would get back

[river pelican]

First time me going so I wouldnt know

[gleaming rock]

One could very possibly have a lot left over tho, but ye if it's a small amount it's not worth it

[ivory crow]

doesnt that amount stay on the card anyways?

[gleaming rock]

I don't think so

[ivory crow]

thatd be pretty bad if it doesnt!

[verbal cove]

I did and I forgot😭

[verbal cove]

No it isnt useable anymore for this year

[misty gate]

i still cry over my 1 left over liq

[amber spruce]

It doesn’t

[ivory crow]

Awwww maaaaan

well good i used mine up

[amber spruce]

You can refund it

[river pelican]

I Hope that either at least pricing will be in a way that it’s easy to completely empty the card or you can top up the card with an amount of your choice, but just 10/20/30/etc.€.

Cause at Rampage you could only top up at steps of 10/20 and so on €; but pricing was made in a way that you ALWAYS had money leftover

[verbal cove]

You buy in tokens that are equal to a certain amount of money usually. So they should be worth something. So one beer one token would be around 3,60. So you could load up ten tokens or more or less. If I remember correctly

[river pelican]

That’s good 👍

[sinful lotus]

iirc it was something like. For 16 euro you get 6 tokens, and then for 32 you get 12 etc.

You used to be able to buy some tokens in advance but theyve disabled that on the site now

atleast I cant find it

[digital harness]

I think I had like 13 euros left over last year

[ivory crow]

Im still Miffed that I lost my Keychain somehow

[autumn harbor]

Same 😦

[steady ginkgo]

I use my last liq to buy yoghurt at the camping shop on the way out.
Best decision!

[cedar oracle]

Hahaha yes! Loads of fun

And shouting at jos for hot desperados

[autumn harbor]

What, how?

[brave crag]

Anyone i could join or a group of people to go with at the festival? :3

[lone osprey]

Heya! Sorry, had notifications turned off for the server. So usually I just start the big puzzle with all the shifts everyone submitted, and then with the confirmation we see if people want something changed. But if you have stuff you already know wont work, let me know and I can adjust it!

[lone osprey]

I dont think you need that much relevant experience for our bar shifts, although having worked in hospitality does help with well, being hospitable :D

[lone osprey]

What keychain? Maybe I can help out :)

[ivory crow]

As in I lost the festival 2022 one that I had on my key bundle somewhere

I think maybe I broke a link somehow, got stuck somewhere with it maybe

[lone osprey]

So last year I sent out the finalized schedule at the end of June, if people for some reason didnt want the shifts that I scheduled them for I would then try to figure something out. This year it will probably be earlier than June, but that will be before the timetable is out. The best thing to do is sign up for more shifts over multiple days and let me know how many hours you'd like to work a day. That way I can figure out where to schedule you and where to put you as reserve and I can easily swap you between shifts

[lone osprey]

Ill check around the house, I might have some left over here :)

[ivory crow]

Oh thats too kind of you! How come you have merch just laying around? 🤣

[amber spruce]

He works for Liquicity

[lone osprey]

My girlfriend worked at the festival for (non refundable) Liq, but had no way of spending it all so she ended up buying 40+ keychains to hand out to random people

[verbal cove]

Wholesome

[orchid cave]

love that

[verbal cove]

Thanks for the replay. I signed up for one. I am also a quick learner and used to being on my feet anyway.
I enjoyed volunteering a lot last year, so hope I can do it again🙏

[autumn harbor]

Oh that'd be great!
Lemme hop in dms 👀

[ivory crow]

Oh damn thats amazing

[jaunty hull]

Day tickets are apparently on sale on Thursday

[rancid vapor]

Hey guys! first time Liquicity Festival attender and my irl best friend and me are overwhelmed buy planning our trip to it. does anyone know someone from austria attending as well? or maybe someone is kind enough to help us? pls help 😅

[verbal cove]

Just ask away here or there is a WhatsApp group for solo people but also you can just ask around there

[inland horizon]

I'm travelling from Czech Republic that's pretty close but I'm also a first timer so I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to help with everything but I'm pretty comfy with the travelling plan as I've gone through the initial overwhelming stage

[tribal oasis]

I'm also gonna be a first timer so probably can't help much, but feel free to ask and I'm sure someone will be able to answer! :)

[steady ginkgo]

Depending on what you need help with, we can atleast try to provide info etc.

[inland horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/look-what-yep-this-gif-13617583

[jagged gorge]

Might want to travel to NL a day early so you have an evening to chill before heading to the festival, remember shuttle tickets, comfy shoes and have fun

[jagged gorge]

Otherwise use this for some guidance on what to bring @rancid vapor

And throw us some questions and someone will answer eventually

[inland horizon]

True, that packing list is awesome

[tribal oasis]

omg that list

that's so helpful

[jagged gorge]

Pim the Liquicity scout leader

[ivory crow]

Pim being server Mommy

[tribal oasis]

next thing she's gonna bake us some cookies

[jagged gorge]

That's why @spare herald exists

[tribal oasis]

true true

Chorles' baked goods are another level

(not as good as becky's tho sorry lad)

[ivory crow]

Welcome to the festival experience. Im sure we can help you out here if you have a specific question 🙂

Is there anything specific you are unsure about?

[jagged gorge]

Erik handed me a bottle of berry liquor and chorl gave me a brownie

And I was in my happy place

[ivory crow]

Who/What is Chorles

[jagged gorge]

Mr Tankski

[inland horizon]

🥹

[tribal oasis]

that sounds like a beautiful combo

[jagged gorge]

Baking/cooking god and an all around lovely lad

[spare herald]

It's ok I can recognise a conflict of interest 😉

[spare herald]

I was told to have a bake off with Sarah by @sweet prawn and that never happened

[inland horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/legendary-battle-worthy-opponent-finally-a-worthy-opponent-our-battle-will-be-legendary-gif-14616660

[jagged gorge]

I was tipsy after an hour in Amsterdam

[ivory crow]

@spare herald I request samples of your baked goods goodness now

[spare herald]

Rumour has it the UKF offices wouldn't shut up for a week after I gave some brownies out at a meet & greet there

[inland horizon]

Shouldn't there be a Tankski Brownie Store in the camp at this point?

[spare herald]

You might want that but I don't lemme rave

[tribal oasis]

scenes when they make you head of the cafe

[sweet prawn]

Outsource to cheap foreign labor

8h of brownie baking and selling for a dayticket

[spare herald]

8 hours I wish

[autumn harbor]

Valid point

[ivory crow]

just pre-make some and hand em out at the discord camp

[spare herald]

I did that last year

Also my brownies take like 3 days to make

[inland horizon]

Fair

[spare herald]

Getting through security was fun

"Are these space cakes?"

[inland horizon]

[spare herald]

It's a fair question in the netherlands

[inland horizon]

I wonder what is the proper answer to that kind of question

[spare herald]

I'd argue you could smell them and see 😛

[ivory crow]

Do it again 😛 For me?

[spare herald]

"Have one and come back in 20 mins"

[ivory crow]

[spare herald]

I'll be bringing some this year I think

[amber spruce]

Still thinking about the vegan millionaire shortbread you sent me 😩 @spare herald

[spare herald]

It's been so long since I made those

Crazy stuff

Gotta try make some vegan bakes again

[ivory crow]

YAY!

Are you gonna be there in thursday?

[spare herald]

Planning on it

[inland horizon]

[ivory crow]

Noice

[rancid vapor]

I found the solo group and they already answered key questions about how long the festival is gonna be and auch. Also got redirected to the Google doc, it's really really good.

Coincidentally another Austrian solo traveler joined the wa group 1h after me and we're doing a first time meet up in like 20min XD

@ivory crow tyvm in advance, I'll hit you up in this chat once I've had this meet up in abit

You guys are a blessing 💕

[ivory crow]

Well that was fast 😅

I should join that group actually since I am gonna solo this year again

[ivory crow]

How does one actually join that group? I havent used WA in forever

[inland horizon]

same

[orchid cave]

https://festival.liquicity.com/info/solo-travelers/

[ivory crow]

Thx

[toxic epoch]

Hey all. Had a question about the area of the festival. Is there a hotel or places to stay away from the festival that you can ride in on/back to?

[sinful lotus]

Alkmaar has a few hotels i think

And there is a bus riding every day

[jagged gorge]

apparently there are some cabin type places in biking distance I think?? idk but they might be gone already

[sinful lotus]

From alkmaar station to the festival like every 30 min

[jagged gorge]

you do need to leave before the last set ends to make the last bus out

at least you had to last year

[sinful lotus]

Ah damn that sucks didnt know that

[orchid cave]

you can rent bikes somewhere and bike back and forth

[toxic epoch]

Ok cool. Asking because I'm unsure if I'm going solo or if my friend is coming. Personally would prefer renting a tent but friend (if they go) wants to have a hotel or a place similar to that

[sinful lotus]

You have tipis or similar with normal beds too

Which arent that more expensive than hotels in Alkmaar I think

[toxic epoch]

Cool cool. Appreciate it!

[steady ginkgo]

Shuttle bus tickets are only valid once. So if you go back and forth multiple times, you would need multiple shuttlebus tickets.

[jaunty hull]

Yeah it’s a return journey - 1x there and 1x back

[steady ginkgo]

And the last shuttlebus leaves earlier then the last set is finished. So be aware to not miss the last bus

[tribal oasis]

glad i decided to commit to the full weekend camping then cos I didn't realise that lool

[worn zinc]

you can walk however to a small farm shop nearby

and yo can enter/leave the festival area as often as you want, so if you have a car/someone with a car you can food early in the morning, but for drinks they are usually stricter

[ivory crow]

i also like to food in the early morning

Drinks are cool as long as it aint glass, and alc has to be below 15%

[worn zinc]

fooding early in the morning is goated

but yeah, I a word there, I mean get new food ofc

[ivory crow]

Not sure if it was on purpose but you did it again XD

[worn zinc]

yeah that was on purpose 😛

[ivory crow]

Mhmmm sure

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-gif-26050971

I wonder when they will confirm the food options for this year

I hope Pasta Joe is there again and that Kebab place too

[inland horizon]

Yeah I was thinking about the other day ... I'm sure I'm gonna get tons of recommendations from everyone at the festival ... buuuut are there any food places which are definitely worth visiting at the festival? I'm up for anything I like food. All of it.

[ivory crow]

Well, like I said Pasta Joes

They are the best.

But really all of the places are so good. Last year they had this big old american bus thingy in full body chrome that served burgers and fries, so goooood!

I forgot what they were called

[inland horizon]

👀

That sounds awesome

[ivory crow]

Maybe someone has the 2022 chart of all the food trucks

[worn zinc]

the okonomiyaki was massively raved about last year

[ivory crow]

I heard so yeah

[gleaming rock]

I could go for a load of those loaded fries

[ivory crow]

Get loaded on loaded fries?

[inland horizon]

Okay, I'll have one of each then

[flint saffron]

Was fucking awesome

Just expensive for not a whole lot but that's most stands there haha

[inland horizon]

Festivals do be like that

[ivory crow]

Id argue the portion sizes were quite decent

[flint saffron]

they are alrighttt, I usually got a second one from somewhere tho haha

[sinful lotus]

They had okonomiyaki?!

Shitt i shouldve explored the food options more

[autumn harbor]

You mean papa joe

[autumn harbor]

It was really great!

[ivory crow]

they are called Pasta Joe. I will believe nothing else

[inland horizon]

Papa Joe sounds nice tho

[autumn harbor]

So sad I have to reconsider my food choices now 😔

[inland horizon]

[autumn harbor]

You do you

[ivory crow]

Why is that?

[autumn harbor]

My body chose to give me a Histamin intolerance which is not live threatening but can be really inconvenient if you have to go to the toilet because of eating sth with high amounts of Histamin or sth which liberates the Histamin stored in your body.

Just have to be extra mindful about your diet as it's not that "simple" as with vegetarian/vegan food choices.

[ivory crow]

Oof

That sounds like a very bad time

[inland horizon]

that doesn't sound great at all

bruh, that sucks

[digital harness]

Know what I recommend for food?

BROODJE KROKET

[inland horizon]

👀

That looks like something I would like to try

[ivory crow]

Isnt that just a meat krokette in a bun?

[digital harness]

Yes

[ivory crow]

Is there any sauce involved tho? Like some mustard?

[inland horizon]

According to google there is

At least on the pic I saw

[digital harness]

You could add some if you want

I don't even bother

I'm a simple goose

[inland horizon]

[steady ginkgo]

Now I'm craving broodje kroket!

[steady ginkgo]

I think most people would say it goes with mustard. Although I hate mustard and eat it with mayo.

Any sauce goes though. Go get any fries or fried snack here with sauce and it will get drenched in it, way too much for most people lol.

[ivory crow]

I could see it with some Currywurst sauce

[steady ginkgo]

Curry sauce is good for that for sure.

Frikadel speciaal! 😍 (a fried sausage with curry, mayo and onions)

Man I shouldn't think about these unhealthy food options 😫

[ivory crow]

I mean why not

just gotta eat less

[inland horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/frustrated-frustrating-stitch-disney-lilo-and-stitch-gif-4412782

I need to try something like that

[steady ginkgo]

If I'm craving this type of food, I can't simply not eat alot.

But I have plenty of leftovers from last night's wok, so I'll probably just heat that back up.

[orchid cave]

Friday lineup

[misty gate]

A.M.C DIGGING DEEP SET <3

oh yes, i forgot he was doing two sets

[inland horizon]

Now I can't wait

[gleaming rock]

Looks like day tickets will go on sale tomorrow as well

[inland horizon]

Food

Lineup

I need the festival, NOW!

Yeah - more info regarding the tickets is in #updates

[autumn harbor]

Damn. Starting Friday this massive already 😳

[steady ginkgo]

That is a damn good start indeed!

[inland horizon]

It's a very good start

I'm totally not sure what sets to choose tho

[steady ginkgo]

We'd have to wait for timetables

[inland horizon]

Yeah

It's packed day, that's for sure

[tight plinth]

Lenzman and Hugh Hardie

[inland horizon]

I would literally love go to every set on the list that's gonna be a huge problem

[orchid cave]

not Auris?

[autumn harbor]

Who's auris?

[worn zinc]

Mod & Op21 high-key under the radar

both incredible dj;s

friday stacked unironically

[inland horizon]

Yeah

It is

[tight plinth]

Whiney is also very nice

[jaunty hull]

Inb4 Serum and A.M.C clash

[flint saffron]

Perfect

[jaunty hull]

No

[flint saffron]

[inland horizon]

No

[jaunty hull]

[inland horizon]

Don't hurt me like that

[inland horizon]

[ivory crow]

Ngly AMC is my fav there. 😅

[worn zinc]

AMC is good, but Serum is an experience

from memes to the lunar literally vibrating away, never a dull moment

[ivory crow]

Hehehe that does sound like an exprience, but im not so much a jungle-esk guy so lunar isnt my fav stage 😅

[jaunty hull]

Serum is probably the most rowdy set I’ve ever experienced

[ivory crow]

I might check it out

Rowdy is good

[misty gate]

i reckon serum will be on before a.m.c at solar

[inland horizon]

That would be awesome

[worn zinc]

uh

he's not jungly at all tho

https://open.spotify.com/track/2Zd9ICFhHeQzWRd3kUKYJF?si=ee9aee0128094280 imagine the lunar shouting and bouncing along to this

https://open.spotify.com/track/6imZiUw4WfnffJPi6exHEp?si=4c0be0f016924cc6 or this one

https://open.spotify.com/track/3QbTsU2QX5GN682TZ9g59s?si=1d10b5a4deaa477c or the crazy gunfingers with this one

[ivory crow]

You had me at Ganja

[jaunty hull]

Just wanna hear Cut & Shut VIP tbh

[worn zinc]

just wanna hear wave riders unironically

it doesn't get played in NL AT ALL

[ivory crow]

I figured from the "Lunar vibrating away" bit that hes more jungly cuz that was what I heard most at that stage last year

I am not of the knowledge 🤣

[worn zinc]

nah he's basically jump up, but not screechy

one of the original foghorn dons

also part of kings of the rollers

[steady ginkgo]

Serum is a must see for me.

[jaunty hull]

I mean it slaps

[worn zinc]

those arps, and then that drop

[tight plinth]

It literally got played last weekend lol

Vasco and I were wilin

[worn zinc]

you making the FOMO worse

[misty gate]

those drums before the drop

[hot oar]

sorry if this has been asked before, but is the 'thursday campsite access' per person?

[jagged gorge]

yes

[hot oar]

thank

[misty dawn]

Dont worry about a question maybe being asked before. We're happy to help

[inland horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/look-what-yep-this-gif-13617583

[hot oar]

yess finally getting tickets!! first year camping

[misty dawn]

lets gooooooooo

[hot oar]

[autumn harbor]

[inland horizon]

[hot oar]

[ivory crow]

Welcome to the experience!

[hot oar]

gonna be great to be back

[ivory crow]

Back to festival you mean? Bit confuzzled cuz you said first year camping

[jagged gorge]

last time they just didn't camp

[ivory crow]

Gotcha

[hot oar]

ah yep that's what i meant, sorry for the confusion

[ivory crow]

all good, im a little sleep deprived today

[clear river]

does anyone know how long until phase 3 tickets release? they mentioned 12:00 on their facebook but im not sure what timezone that is

[misty dawn]

CEST, so in 25 minutes

Since Liquicity is based in the NL and the festival is also being held there all the timezones are in CEST . If the event was in the UK they would follow their timezone etc.

[clear river]

thank you @misty dawn much appreciated

[digital vessel]

I‘m honestly not that good of a baker but I’m a pretty good cook 🤝

I just made some vegan gluten free banana bread once and brought it to a rave hahaha

Also I know I’m late for the party but so looking forward to serum set 💥

[nova rover]

Hello ! I have a question, when Start the Festival?

[dusky orchid]

Campsite opens on Thursday for people who bought a Thursday ticket, but the festival starts Friday the 21st of July

[nova rover]

I mean the hours of beginning

[dusky orchid]

Oh not 100% sure yet

[orchid cave]

last year it started at 12:00 on Friday and 11:00 the other two days

[nova rover]

Ok thanks

[orchid cave]

first hour only Lunar stage, second hour Solar also starts and the hour after that Galaxy. but could be different this year

[nova rover]

For this year do we need to buy Token?

[misty kestrel]

Still the best vegan gluten free banana bread ive ever had

[misty kestrel]

You’re not forced to, you can bring your own food and drinks and theres free water

[ivory crow]

The tokens are only used for on-site food and drink, as well as merch and essentials in the camping store. On the Campsite you can bring anything that isnt contained within glass or metal (I think you can bring small cookers too and get a concrete tile lent at the camping store)

[nova rover]

Ok thank you

[jagged gorge]

Gonna be that guy rn @hot wren

[hot wren]

oop

did not know it was posted before

fat lineup for a friday tho

[misty dawn]

We still love you

[ashen hare]

Quick question for those who attended last year😅 How long had you been waiting in the queue before you got in?

In 2019 I came in the middle of the day when there was no queue at all

[sweet prawn]

entry queue was about 15 minutes tops around 1 or 2pm

road getting there was about 2 hours for the last 2-3km

[ashen hare]

Oof

[hot perch]

Festival entry has been super quick in the last two editions, like 5-10 minutes tops. Maybe less.
The one before that (the funnel edition) took IIRC 3-5 hours. It was intense.

If you can choose between taking the shuttle bus or going by car, take the shuttle bus

[steady ginkgo]

This is the first year that the camping site opens up on Thursday (if you have a Thursday campsite ticket) this will spread out the amount of people. Therefor it's hard to predict how long the wait will be.
I was there only the Saturday last year and they opened the gates 20 mins after they were supposed to open, thr line itself moved quickly enough though.

[steady ginkgo]

Shuttlebus will also be stuck in that same traffic though 😂 but yes, that will mean less cars and therefor less traffic.

[hot perch]

IIRC they take a shortcut

[worn zinc]

huh wdym, we arrived like 1.5hrs before the "festival" started on saturday and sunday to chill on the camping and could enter just fine

[hot perch]

And you can skip the car queue+walking from the parking lot

[steady ginkgo]

Wtf? That was not how it went down for my crew on Saturday 🤔

[worn zinc]

hymm

weird

[ashen hare]

Planning to come by shuttle bus on Friday

Thanks guys

[steady ginkgo]

My timeline sais I arrived at 11am. Which was the start of lunar stage. Wasn't inside until like 11:30

[misty gate]

That heat on the Friday morning in those coaches 🥴

[sweet prawn]

i had my little brother drop me off, just chilling in a nicely airconditioned car just not a fan of his taste in music

[worn zinc]

I think we entered at like 10?

that's super weird

maybe a different entrance because we had weekend tickets?

[steady ginkgo]

Should've been the same entrance. I saw people in line with us that had weekend tickets and were out for shopping or hotel etc.

Anyway, this year I'm coming the whole weekend and be camping starting on Thursday, no more of that for me! 😊

[worn zinc]

lfg

[orchid cave]

love to see it

[autumn harbor]

W

[fringe onyx]

finally bought my ticket

together with the shirt and flag

[ivory crow]

Noiiice getting that drip

[quartz tartan]

any recommendations on ear plugs for 3 day festival?

[ivory crow]

You can buy the liquicity ones at the camping store on the festival site, they are pretty damn good

got them last year and still use em, sometimes to block out my cats or neighbors antics so i can sleep 😄

[river pelican]

This.
Can highly recommend the Liquicity earplugs. Better than the ones by Alpine (from personal experience)

[olive sand]

If you can spare it, custom ones are always ++

The liquicity ones are alright, but i wouldn't use them in a really loud club, they don't take out that much

[ivory crow]

idk they were pretty handy at cologne last night, even in the black box which was EXCESSIVELY loud

[olive sand]

I am a lil sensitive to sound though, that might be it 😄

[opaque temple]

Same here

Ear plugs help a lot tho

[river pelican]

Custom ones do be expensive af tho

But I’m thinking about getting some before festival season

[olive sand]

yeah i know 🥲

[opaque temple]

Yeah

But worth it in my opinion

[olive sand]

i got some with a wire and a clip so i can't lose them

[opaque temple]

Wout where did you get yours from ?

[olive sand]

Hans anders

[opaque temple]

How did they measure the measurements of your ears ?

[olive sand]

mold thingy

i think it's some kind of heated silicone?

[opaque temple]

Ye

It felt weird when they did mine

But well worth it

[olive sand]

yeah it's very weird

only takes a couple minutes though

[opaque temple]

Yeah

But it felt like ages

[ivory crow]

Id be so afraid of ever losing them too, the Liquicity ones are kinda cheap but great value

[orchid cave]

they usually come w/ a piece of string that you can attach to it

[ivory crow]

fair

[olive sand]

I've been to 2 places asking for just that, but they didn't have it

If you want the string, i'd recommend asking for it specifically

[opaque temple]

The place I got it had it

[tight plinth]

The custom ones from alpine can be ordered with a string

No strings attached

[hot perch]

Alpine Partyplug Pro Naturals (not the standard partyplugs) work well and are comfortable
And obviously custom molded earplugs are going to be much better still, but those definitely are a lot better than most similarly priced earplugs

[opaque temple]

Idk which ones I had before my custom ones but they felt uncomfortable after a few hours

I’ll say the brand when I’m home

[olive sand]

Yep i have those!

[sinful lotus]

They announced a bunch of new activities in the latest tips post

[digital harness]

Man looking around that site gets me so excited

[sinful lotus]

Samee

[jaunty hull]

What’s the likelihood of being trapped forever in the house of mirrors?

[autumn harbor]

They were there last year already?
Or am I missing something

[sinful lotus]

The House of Mirrors is new afaik, atleast its named differently than last year

And I think you weren’t able to make festival flags at the temple last year either

[sinful lotus]

Very likely

[cedar oracle]

im going to trap you forever in my tent

[jaunty hull]

I envisaged something a bit grander when I heard you had a sex dungeon

[cedar oracle]

But it is a sex dungeon! 1m80 x 1m20 dungeon

and a lock

[jaunty hull]

What’s the combination to get in?

[autumn harbor]

6969

[sweet prawn]

Vasco will spend months digging and building an underground sex dungeon on the festival site, with his tent conveniently covering the entrance

[jaunty hull]

It’s arguably more of a pit than a dungeon really

[sinful lotus]

Nvm you were able to do that last year Im just dumb and didnt know

[digital harness]

Make festival flags? Like custom?

[sinful lotus]

So you could make one and they would add it up onto a long one basicly

[digital harness]

Oohhh cool!

[cedar oracle]

Hihi UwU come and see

[white socket]

Lego at Liquicity festival confirmed 😳

LFG

[dusky orchid]

Legooooooo

Legfugginooo

[uneven ore]

well done, I fell for the fake button

[sinful lotus]

I didnt mean to trick you ahhaha

[digital harness]

But what kind 🤔

[flint saffron]

Can't wait for the Legomic set

[white socket]

I'll just press play on a pre recorded set and just build lego on stage for an hour

Would be a vibe

[wide wharf]

Wanna go b2b?

[dusky orchid]

Legomic b2b Duplo

[tight plinth]

Last year they had that podcast studio right? What about we put you in a glass box and have you build lego the entire festival

And then different people come and join you and people can watch us build lego together

[ivory crow]

the question is: Technics or Not

[misty gate]

CDJs for me

[tight plinth]

If you give Elliot this one he's set for at least half the weekend https://www.lego.com/en-nl/product/at-at-75313

[orchid cave]

Recreate the festival terrain in Lego

[autumn harbor]

Sounds fun 👀

[digital harness]

If it is technics i will break in to build these mfers

I love them

[ivory crow]

I will join you

[jaunty hull]

Technics 1210s yeah?

[worn zinc]

motorised and all that jazz

[jaunty hull]

The crossover that should definitely happen

Get Lego records

[ivory crow]

But made from lego

[tight plinth]

[sinful lotus]

The Maduk set is a Maduk only set aswell

[jaunty hull]

?

[autumn harbor]

Only maduk tunes or what?

[ivory crow]

He does have plenty of them 🤔 Though I kinda doubt hed ONLY run his own tracks

[sinful lotus]

This is in the story

[autumn harbor]

Well he also has remixes of his own songs

[jaunty hull]

Yeah he could definitely play a set of originals

2 albums, a remix album and plenty of other singles

[sinful lotus]

Maybe some dubs too

[misty gate]

yeah i reckon he will have some new tracks

been a year and a half since the last release
