A bunch of us Corkonians are trying to organise a trip abroad for the autumn, taking in a gig or part of a festival along the way, somewhere easily accessible from Ireland. Any experience for suggestions for the latter end of 2020? Sound job feen/beuer!
Depends on what you're into, I suppose. The year before last a few of us went to Keep It Low Munich, an indoor festival held in October.
I can't recommend it highly enough - great venue, excellent bands, very reasonable beer prices (€3ish for Augustiner in a 500ml glass bottle, no less), tasty food stalls, guitar pedal stalls etc. and all within a quick U-Bahn ride of the city centre.
You can fly from Cork through Amsterdam to Munich with KLM for a very reasonable price. I do it all the time for work. Beats the shit out of the Aircoach and then hanging around for a flight to Munich.
Motel One is a good chain of hotels to use in most of Germany too.
Here's the line up from the year that we went;

Ah thanks for that. UK Deathfest has been selected now for August so no more suggestions needed, thanks.
You start a thread for a festival trip abroad and plump for the UK... :laugh:
Yeah I know, and in August.... Not my choice at all, will be giving it a skip.
