Update: My contact at DF just wrote me a Facebook message confirming that day tickets will be made available "next month"!
It's not a hostile scene or attitude (maybe "MP-haters" was the wrong term to choose). It's the Stoner scene you know. They love simple formulas for their music and one thing MP isn't about is a simple formula. So there are many individuals from this scene who are not interested in seeing MP. Many of the city's stoner people have actually seen MP in 2010 at the same venue when local Stoner gods RotoR supported MP. I talked to some people afterwards and while some were genuinely impressed a great deal of them still claimed that RotoR put on the better show, a statement I simply cannot comprehend. The festival bookers however said they realise MP isn't a band for everyone but they deliberately chose them in order to bring some diversity to the program.
Btw, it cannot hurt to write to Desertfest and enquire about the on-sale date of the one-day tickets and let them know that we appreciate that they booked MP. I was told they receive many mails, many of whom comment on the choice of bands. It seems the DF-crowd is evenly divided into MP-lovers and MP-haters. Many complained about MP being the headliner, asking if another band would play on the second stage while MP will be playing. Also we should really raise the pressure on DF for them to finally release the one-day passes so we can make travel arrangements. I am abit anxious they might ultimately not make one day passes available if the other tix will sell well.

If you live in Groningen you might want to consider to go to Bremen instead of Utrecht! Tivoli is notorious for its talkers while a concert at Bremen Schlachthof offers the best possible enviroment for focusing on the music.

Desertfest Berlin: The info about one-day tickets has dissappeared from the site. Strange. I will have to make some calls and check.

For those of us planning to attend the MP performance at Desertfest in Berlin 20.04. we'll need to be alert about the onsale date of tickets because one-day tickets will very limited as the website states:
please note: there will NOT be single day tickets for THURSDAY! there will be single day tickets for FRIDAY & SATURDAY but in very limited quantity !!!
If you plan to stay for another night in Berlin and attend the third night of Desertfest (21.04.) you can buy two-day and three-day passes already now.
"Coventry Boy"? Was it played? It's neither on the band's setlist nor in Rolf's setlist…
"[…] kinda like a Veita Scene-gig anno 1997!" -> Haha, absolutely!
