The Belgian crowds are notoriously .... relaxed. Last weekend was the Rock Werchter festival and the crowds were really mellow.. probably has something to do with the high temperatures, but still. This can be interpreted in two ways (a), the belgian fans really listen or (b) the fans are just lazy bast*rds who don't care to move their asses

Temperatures are expected to be again around 30°C , (although in the evening after the sun sets it will be a few degrees lower), so the crowds will probably be even more subdued due to the heat.

So orgers, all of us who are going to Werchter, clap, dance, scream, shout ... let's set the place on fire.

I would hate it if Prince only plays 12 songs and then calls it quits because the audience is too lackluster!

Aaah... You shouldn't worry, Heidi

It's Prince. It's gonna be aaall good

...Besides... Can't you feel the excitement already ?

no worries there...lot of us dutchies there to make it a crazy party. And if anyone can make you dance it would be the man himself!

Yes - let's make sure Prince and the band go crazy too

Don't worry ! In spite of the fact it's going to be another hot day out there (as Heidi said, temperatures may have gone down a bit when Prince starts performing and - unfortunately - there may be a thunderstorm), the Belgian fans do know how to get up and dance. (Those who won't, will probably be the ones who got a ticket and decided to attend the concert because they have no other place to go this saturday or those whose ticket has been paid for by some company (aren't they the (so-)called VIP's...?).

But there is something you should know about Belgians, though. They're not extremely extravert types anyway, but when they get passionate about something (or someone !) they mean it ! I remember, when Prince toured Europe in '86 and did his very first concert in Belgium, some journalist wrote about how Prince got fans really excited everywhere he went but the fact that he managed to get a crowd of "reserved" Belgians to go absolutely crazy, that really proved how great he was/IS !

Personally, all I need to go nuts is hear him say : Hello Belgium !!

Yes, it's gonna be a beautiful night !

And it won't be Belgians only in the Golden Circle

There's going to be a lot of Dutch people there dancing their asses off!

I could use to loose a couple of pounds anyway so I might give it an extra try

Definitely expect a lot of Dutch people on Saturday! We are with a party of 6, Golden Circle. And we will be in a good mood, given that we play the World Cup soccer final the next day

NB: Would be nice though to have some info on when it starts and what the order of bands will be.

I'm Dutch too, and i have Golden Circle too, i think i will be one of the youngest people ..

So yeah, i know how to party, haha.

[Edited 7/6/10 15:07pm]

The concert is outdoors right? So there are no seats reserved except for those in the gold circle? or am i wrong?

No, there are no seats. Golden Circle is only standing but it's in the front of the stage so you have a good view on the stage and you are really close to the stage!

This is what the Werchter field looks like (pic from last weekend's Rock Werchter Festival).

Oh and one more important info ... the cava bar is on the left side, at the back (bottom left of photograph!)
