And while you were out partying in the Portal, I was listening to Pendulum!
So very nice of the Lowlands team to make them perform on the day they were made to perform at.

I've also seen many other bands, including Gogol Bordello which had the most amazing performance of all, but some other cool guys were the Sex Pistols, Mindless Self Indulgence, Presidents of the USA (millions of peaches, peaches for me...), The Pidgeon Detectives, Anouk (I had to say it, her performance was awesome), N.E.R.D., Franz Ferdinand, Claw Boys Claw (music was good, show was fantastic), Korpiklaani, Danko Jones, DEUS, The Editors and Antiflag.

Performances that sucked: The Hives (Let me tell you how we are going to live forever/we are the next rolling stones/I believe that deserved more of a reaction, what an asshole), We Are Scientists, Amy MacDonald, The Opposites, Him (I happened to be near the tent he played at, or I wouldn't have even heard this).

The rest I either didn't see or forgot to list. Some pictures!

Bacardi Mojito, hmmmmmmm

What was that you spent €115 on? Why do they have an ATM for them? Is it some kind of Currency that you have to use before you leave?

If it is, brutal. Lowlands does look pretty awesome though.

Holy shit tons of great bands showed up there!
Looks like you had a great time.

you are a douchebag
fuck lowlands

Heb je wel je boterhamzakjes en Taksi pakjes in de prullenmand gegooid?

Ja hoor moeder, ze deelden er vuilniszakken uit.

@Solenoid - It's currency, each square is 1 coin. Beer is 1 coin (â,¬2.30) and pizza is 1.5 coin (they can be broken in two).

You could switch them back for euros if you got too many though. And lowlands is three days so I wasted around 150 coins (you could also buy merchandise and expensive things with tokens).

Oh, I guess that's not so bad if you can trade them back. I thought they'd be like those dollars that amusement parks coerce you into buying, only to find out later they're non-refundable and the only things you can do with them are rent inner tubes.

I immediately imagine you standing by the side of a river, miserable, holding 3 inner tubes in each arm, as laughing children float by.

Festivals are grand but I always have trouble finding ones where I can be bothered to go and see any of the bands.

It's just to avoid the staff having to fiddle with change when some asshole buys a beer with a 50 euro bill. With these tokens everyone could easily calculate how many they needed (as most things are 1, 1.5 or 2 tokens) and they could break them before paying so all the staff had to do was throw them in a bucket.

And that's pretty valuable time if 70500 people want to get drinks from a total of less than 20 drink stands.

Lowlands has 10 podiums spread all across the festival area, if you don't take a look in the program leaflet every five minutes like I do, you'd at least be interested in what you hear from passing the podiums. Also, there's huge screens telling you which band will be playing where in how much time.
