    Blastfest - Bergen Norway

    by strha » Mon Oct 07, 2013 2:14 pm

    Anyone up for some heavy music in February?
    Carpathian Forest, Marduk, Shining, Triptykon, Aura Noir .... several headliners to be added at a later point in time
    This fest will use the same facilities as Hole in the sky did.

    Yep. I might go to this. It looks similar to Hole in the Sky (RIP) but Blastfest has 3 different venues. HITS had 2 Garage and Verftet.

    I hadn't noticed that they would use three stages. Seems like they are setting up a second stage at verftet. The last time Immortal played at verftet they did the same thing. Some "support acts" at the second stage, and tha headliners where the Hits shows used to be. They have actually rebuilt USF now, so it works better for concerts than it used to do.

    Man oh man, if this doesn't have my name written all over it, I don't know what does. :beerhorns: I'd LOVE to go back to Bergen, and I imagine it is quite beautiful in the winter. Too bad it's about the same time I'll be progging it up on the Prog Cruise in the sunny & warm Caribbean. :cool: Geez....I just imagined my ultimate back to back festival combo if the dates were slightly different....go to this Blastfest in Bergen and then fly to Miami to board the Prog cruise...that would be music heaven (or hell? :lol: - or maybe hell to heaven? :lol: ) to me I think. :beerwink:

    Too bad you can't make it Laura, but let's hope people support it this year so that it is financially possible to have a fest in 2015 as well.
    You know, I'm quite sure that Bergen is the most beautiful city in the world :) , especially during the winter
    Hopefully it looks like this in February.

    Yep, I'm really bummed the timing isn't quite right since it's the same time as the Proggressive Nation cruise I booked....
    buuuuut....in typical Laura-think-rambling....this is what went through my head today
    ...hmm....same time as Prog cruise....nope....
    ...but I only have $150 paid on the Prog cruise and no hotel or air booked yet
    but no, it's too expensive to fly to Bergen, not to mention hotels & such....
    *checks Expedia for Blastfest dates Chicago-Bergen RT*
    Wait, what? $850 rt via Copenhagen on SAS - considerably cheaper than flying in August when I did last...
    Decisions, pro-con, pro-con, pro-con, infinity....
    Ha. The jury (in my head) is still "out" on this one. :beerwink:
