shouldn't that be "widespread panic"?
I've never been so I'll have to take your word for it but from the pictures I've seen it looks like if you want any kind of breathing room you'll have to be pretty far away from the stage, at least for the big acts. I have a thing about being bumped/pressed into.As very much a "non-hippie," I can assure you that you don't have to have dreadlocks and smell like pachtouli to enjoy the greatest music festival of our generation. With an unbelievable lineup of bands and a very friendly atmosphere, it's a must-see for any music afficionado.
