HARD ROCK LAAGER 2005 TAKES PLACE 1.-2. OF JULY |
Undoubtedly one of the smallest on world scale, HARD ROCK LAAGER is the largest one of it's kind in Estonia, this year (01.-02. July, 2 days) gathering over 1000 metalheads from the local scene, and welcoming visitors from Latvia and Lithuania, as well as Finland and Sweden. The latter is the homeland of this year's headliner KATATONIA, legendary "viva emptyness" metallers. Make no mistake - the list of good bands doesn't end with just one headliner, and each week more and more of local and international acts will be announced. As it is now, the festival will host about 18 respectable bands from here and abroad.
HRL is located at Vana-Vigala, a small town in Mid-Estonia, some 80 km south of Tallinn. Please refer to the maps to pinpoint the right location. For foreigners getting there might be somewhat tricky, cause the public transport takes you to the place only a couple of times a day and the buses will be crowded as hell. There are also special festival buses taking people to the location from all over Estonia, please refer to the timetables on this webpage. You can also count on hitchiking, or better yet, on a local friend with a car! The festival pass costs around 18 eur (this info will be edited as soon as the ticket prices are decided and solid) from presales and about 25 eur from the festival gate, and the bustrips will be accordingly cheap. At the festival gate your pass will be exchanged for a wristband, that gives you the right to enter and exit the festival grounds as you wish, and to take part of all the additional games and fun on the location.
The festival ground is located at the side of a river where you can swim in and where a hillside offers a nice view on the A-stage. There will be 2 stages, both have excellent sound and light system, so you can expect the best! Between the 2 stages there's catering and drinks and a place for all those silly national games, that help to shake down stakes and beer that you have excessively consumed. The festival offers mild drinks like beer, cider, soda's and water; vodka and other strong stuff will not be allowed. Food ranges from small snacks to proper stakes with potatos and salad and as for the price range - the 0,5l of beer will cost 20 locals (1,3 eur) so you can draw your own conclusions from that!
Sleeping is organized on a small football field right outside the festival area. It has been large enough on the previous years, finding a spot should be no problem. Camping is for free, you just have to take a tent with you (or to drink with the right people), but please keep in mind, that the camping area is not guarded - you should keep the valuable stuff like electronics and money close to your skin at all times. There will also be a small tent where you can leave your stuff under guard for a small sum of money, but the space is limited so please use common sense while packing all your life-possessions with you.
