sommerfesten 2010
i just got this. it says damien will be playing at sommerfesten in noruega by the end of july. of course, i don´t get a single word (well, i guess sommerfesten may mean summer festival, lol).

I wish I could be there. My favourite artist playing in the world's most beautiful country - that would be amazing.

the festival is at an island at the west coast of Norway, close to Ålesund - it's called Giske. there are no ticket costs, but there is a concept of bringing food to share with other people at the festival. last year there was a crowd of 15.000 people who attended the festival.
I'm hoping to go as there is a bunch of amazing artists who will play. |

Oh thanks Vere!!!!!!!!
Wow wow very interesting, I fear it's another island in the middle of nowhere like Traena last time... The only thing I figured out is that it's GRATIS (Free)!!!!

Google Chrome translation:
Who are the newest artists? Not long ago, so we introduced Tom McRae as the biggest name on the summer party ever. Now he has had a good race with himself Damien Rice! It is now two years since he has been in Norway, and we are very pleased that he will be part of the summer party! In addition, we wish William Hut and Thom Hell welcome back to Giske, the delivered brilliant performances last year, and we looking forward to see you! Last but not least, we have also been with us, John Smith, who in addition to Summer Celebration is ready for England's biggest festival Glastonbury. He reaps praise lot and is really a shooting star? |

i´m glad and you´re welcome. you can tell us everything about it.
i also like the idea it´s a "free" festival, with a call for peace, love and understanding hehe, it says "gratis" on the right side. it is also a "norwegian" word as well? it is in spanish

^he he 'Gratis' exists in a lot of languages, I know it exists in Dutch for instance, 'Gratis Ingang' (Free entrance), which seem pretty similar to Norwegian
will check if it's feasible to go!!!!!! any traveling tips from Norwegian Eskimos??? How do you get there?

Marti you can come to oslo and then take a flight to Ålesund which airport is very close to Giske,the island where the festival happens! I have contact someone to rent a house for that weekend so I can volunteer to host artists ;-) you can volunteer for many things(since the festival is based in volunteer work) such as driving the artists,hosting and feeding them ;-) The artists are also playing for free and Damien will be the greatest there according to Sommerfestivalen. If you would like you could come to Oslo and then we could head to Ålesund together and share the house with me and my sister (if I get a response from the owner).
Gratis ingang is dutch and Gratis engang is norwegian. There are many similarities betweens those languages ;-) We are flying with norwegian from Oslo to Ålesund early in the morning of the july 30th!

The house I tried to rent is already taken for that period ;-( 1 night at the hotel there is the same as 2 nights in a good hotel in Dublin! or 3 nights somewhere else,like Reykjavik...Norway is so expansive,so much cheaper going anywhere else in europe!
Well,anything for Damien...

Vere! I'm a member of couchsurfing and I will try it in case I really need,but I still prefer hotels if I can afford it...will see by the time. Marti,the flights are so expansive even going from Oslo to Ålesund,it's insane!! But I will go,of course...Hope DR will tour soon so all his fans can see him ;-)

Btw the random Giske island here in Norway has a really beautiful recording studio and under the festival an artist will record something in that studio...well they are encouraging people to buy a "volunteer ticket" for the festival (just a way to raise money to guarantee the next year festival) and they will randomly chose people who bought the ticket to watch the recording session... I asked one of the guys working at the festival who's the artist and he said it is secret. Just to feed your curiosity I will leave the link for pictures of the recording studio...

From the festival website:
Om du velger å kjøpe frivillig-billett er du automagisk med i trekning av en intim musikalsk opplevelse i særklasse i Ocean Sound Recordings på Giske. "if you choose to buy volunteer ticket you are automatically participating on a draw to a intimate musical experience in special class (V.I.P) at the Ocean sound recordings at Giske"

Hi Everyone! I'm a long time Damien fan but I'm new to this site. I love Damien and if you all will have me, I'm so thrilled to join a community of like minded people!
I heard about Sommerfesten and I'm so excited to be going. I just booked my flight into Oslo and plan on taking a train into Alesund. Are there any Norwegian Eskimos (or someone familiar with Norway) out there that can give some info on where to stay in Oslo and/or Alesund? Any advice on traveling in Norway? |

^I'd say it's probably cheaper to fly to Alesund rather than going by train...

This isn't a huge festival, is it? Compared to ie Roskilde? Not a lot of big names on there. Sounds really cosy.

it says on the site that 15,000 people were there last year, so yep, kinda small for your standard European festival but it's free so I guess that attracts people, at least locals...

it's a 14 hours festival..Roskilde is like what, 4 days? no many big names will play for free.
planet deimler I would advise you to take a plane with norwegian from Oslo to Ålesund. A train will take longer and in the end will be more expansive and the airport is closer to Giske than the train station is,I guess. I'm going,but haven't decided where I'm staying since hotels are very very expansive,but if you want we could share a triple room? I will be going with my sister ;-)

Thanks for the advice about flying vs train. You guys are right, the train can get expensive. I think we're going to drive from Olso though. I know it's going to be a long drive but I'm excited to see other parts of Norway. It looks so beautiful. Amie R, I'm going with my husband and we would be happy split a room with you and your sister. Anything to cut the cost is helpful. I'm going to search for hotels soon so I'll let you know I find.
