    Stupid question, but where exactly is it? I can only see this on the website:

    Locatie: Festivalterrein Spaarnwoude

    Do you fly into Amsterdam and jump a coach/train? Is it far? I notice it finishes at midnight, do people bother with hotels, or just go into the local city and chill out there for a while before going to the airport?

    Numeric mentioned this to me last night, and after checking out the lineup I am well keen to go. Looks mint!

    you get a train from amsterdam central station to sloterdijk train station then theres an awakenings bus laid on to take you to the event.

    all well organised,cant go wrong.

    best to either get a hotel or get all greasy in a hostel. quality day out especially when the suns blazing like it was when i went.

    what???

    its the first time i see a party end at midnight...

    in portugal the partys start at 1h AM and usually are 3 days nonstop

    the clubs and discos are the same open at midnight and close at 12:00 AM


    even rock in rio in lisbon (a big party allmoust a size of a small town with techno , rock bands , hiphop) ends later and have 3 days too , and you can camp there


    i miss the god old times... partys like tecnolandia , elektro parade , neptunus , liquid and solid... it was train to lisbon and adios ,fun for one week , sometimes i got home from that partys and barely remember my own name (i was 17 years old or less in that times)

    yeah, all the dutch outdoor festivals I have been to seem to end around midnight or so... awakenings at gashouder though usually goes until about 7 am I guess.
    I had a great time last year at Awakenings fest... looking forward to it again! And as someone else in this thread mentioned, after a full day outside drinking beer, by midnight I am happy to call it a night.
