[Luzern] Blue Balls Festival

cyrus · #2 16.07.2009, 10:11

Bump, just a reminder, the Blue Balls festival starts this weekend. Great atmsophere, the usual festival fare is there, beer tents, good mix of food stalls, and the usual festival trinkets. You won't get many big names playing outside for free, but the music is always topnotch with a good variety of styles.

As stated before, everything outside is free, though people will ask you to buy a badge, I've been informed it's only 20CHF for the entire festival this year, I think it's something worth supporting.

Im looking to go next Saturday for Joss Stone (supporting the Cornish massive) :-) Tickets look to be 75chf each, but you say outside is free. What's normally outside do you know?

It's split between 2 main areas, either side of the bridge.

Directly outside the front of the KKL, there's usualy a band or performer, but not sure which ones from the listing, as they're all listed as KKL

Also, there's been a 2 man band or similar outside the schweirzerhof, the guys last year were really pretty good.

Then a bit further down is the pavillion, the focus of the free event, a variety of bands play and there's a big crowd.

As mentioned before, there are plenty of stalls along the lake side, around the KKL and the Pavillion, featuring some excellent and diverse foods, beers, and festival stuff (clothes/pipes/trinkets etc).

You can get a day sticker or a badge for the entire event quite cheaply, this gets you into the schweizerhof for the nightclub, on the ferry from the pavillion to the KKL and stops the stewards from hassling you to buy a badge (mostly).

Hello paople,

I am looking for a partner in crime for James Morrison tonight.

I have a spare ticket, they were 75 CHFs.

If required I would be happy to post an image of it, but it is prolly not required as I will be meeting you there to hand it over.
