Anybody up for a summertime Eurotrip? Tickets are still on sale HERE but unless you can read Dutch you'll have a difficult time navigating the website.

Note: Notice Chicago's very own Cool Kids made the lineup!

UPDATE: I did a little research using an online currency converter. It turns out that the full price for the festival (camping included) is only $285 (without shipping charges)!!!
