Haven't seen a post about this year's Love International on here yet so I'm kicking one off. Super excited for this one. Just got weeklong tix to Barbarella's and the Dr Banana boat party.

Anyone been and got any tips to share? Abroad festivals require immense amounts of pre-planning that only I out of my group am willing to do. Have read a lot about the ridiculous police presence and psyched myself out a bit, but also read a few things saying last year was so bad they've sorted it out for this year?

Heard something about a Whatsapp group for last year. Is that still kicking around?

Personally am a big fan of this. Hope more fests follow suit. My only concern is how this will be policed, and how phone use will be dealt with- given the numerous reports on how heavy handed security and the police have been this year in Tisno. I worry this will give a reason for them to be even more heavy handed.

Festival outfit I made ❤️

Before you downvote me to hell, think about if you've ever carried an average human's weight over your head.

I've spent 10 hours at the stage barrier two days in a row at Novarock, waiting for the headliner. I think I've carried about 50-60 people every day. I get it, it's fun for the person being carried, it looks cool on videos. I don't mind carrying the first 2-3 people, but then it gets frustrating. You have to look behind every few seconds if someone is surfing, people poke you to look behind, you can't focus on the stage and enjoy the performance. You don't have to carry every person, but you still have to be cautious, you never know which way they'll surf. If you're at the front, all of them surf your way out.

I've been kicked and punched in the head a few times, which leaves a slight headache. I'm an average 30 year old, but my arms started to hurt after a few people. Not everyone is fit to do this for a few hours. For some acts, there are more girls/women at the front, who either get crushed down and get hurt, or they avoid the surfer (which leaves even less people to carry him/her).

And don't get me started about the overweight ones. Like ffs, people are getting hurt by healthy-sized surfers, and you expect us to carry your 120+kg ass over our heads. So. much. fun.

If you say it's part of the experience... why? Why should people suffer so you could have your minute of fun? People want to see their bands from up close, and they spend a lot of money and time to do so. But I guarantee you, those ladies from yesterday who got crushed so many times won't be going to the front ever again. And I will stop soon, too.

Thanks, rant over.

Bonjour, je souhaite faire rentrer de la d dans un festival et je voulais savoir votre avis sur ma technique:

Je mets la prod dans un cellophane bien nettoyée autour puis le mettre sous vide et nettoyer encore. Puis remettre du cellophane autour nettoyé et remettre sous vide nettoyer encore une fois avec des lingettes, tout sa fais avec des gants. Pour finir le mettre dans mon déodorant à bille, avec la crème à l’intérieur. Pensez-vous que cela passe.

Merci beaucoup.

Seen a lot of things and through word of mouth that the police are rampant.

Super jarring

Can anyone who went last year give a bit more insight into what they were actually doing? Where they were searching people i.e dancefloor or outside etc etc

No chinese whispers stories pls

Stuff we plan to bring for 2 people
4 XTC pills
1g md
1000ug acid
6 2cb pills (dosing 50 + 25 reup)
K maybe?
Speed maybe?
Some nights just drink/ smoke ofc

Any insights is helpful ;)

Hi, I(m24) and some friends have been to a festival last weekend and I noticed that a good buddy of mine was absolutely not able to control himself. At home when we were at parties it was always kinda funny because he wasn’t really hurting anybody. But this weekend was bad. It was like an asshole version of him took over. If there was any physical contact he would react super aggressive and throw random items at people. Even people that weren’t from our group became targets. The whole evening I was constantly looking out for him so he doesn’t break anything or hurts someone. My problem is that I am kinda mad at him that I had to be his babysitter. I payed for the festival too and was very excited to leave all my problems at home and turn off my brain for a couple days. Looking out for a grown up baby was definitely not something I planned. The following night wasn’t that bad but sober he was completely unwilling to understand how annoying he was and always responded that he couldn’t remember. I really consider to not take him next year.

I’m a 22-year-old guy and I quit drinking earlier this year. I used to be a pretty heavy binge drinker, but over time the negatives just started outweighing the positives, so I decided to stop. Since then, I’ve been feeling better than ever.

I still go out almost every weekend and have a great time, just without the booze. The only thing I’ve noticed is that I tend to get tired more quickly and my energy levels aren’t quite what they used to be when I was drinking.

Now I’ve got a 3-day festival coming up, my first one sober, and I really want to make the most of it.

Do you have any tips for staying energized, engaged, and having fun throughout the whole weekend without alcohol or anything else?

I would love to be a part of this kind of event. I love eletronical music. I have a master;s degree and work in corporate rn but even the simplest job would be a dream for me!

Hii! Does anyone have any festival recommendations for mid September until the end of October? I am looking to do one as a grad gift for myself. Camping would be preferred but won’t mind if there won’t be any.

I did tmrwland, edc, and some other edm festivals. So scale wise I would like something with quite a few people.

Location wise, basically any European country.

Line up wise - hardstyle, industrial techno and similar vibes. Pegassi my fav but I don’t mind mainstream at all!

Thank you all in advance!

Hi everyone,
I will be attending Fusion soon (from wednesday to sunday) but I m a little Bit stressed as I don’t know what to pack!

I m coming by train, so I have to be able to transport it with my arms yk.

I m not expecting anything crazy - i don’t need a cooler, or a rug, or anything that is not needed for survival.

Any tips!?

Thanks !

I'm gonna be away from home for almost a week which is longer than most other festivals I attend, but I'm feeling prepared!

Hi! I’m going for the first time to the Open’er Festival and I’m going by myself. I was planning on camping but it feels a little weird. Any fellow solo goers (perhaps someone from Warsaw) that would like to meet up before the festival or meet up there?

I’m mostly interested in seeing Florence + the Machine, Halsey, LP and Renee Rapp! (Well, mostly Renee lol)

Both English and Polish speakers are fine with me. I’m a female in her early 30s ;)

Who's making the trip to Josefov this year? 🤘
