The 2010 version finished. Feel free to provide some feedback for the festival!
Was it good for you?
Main stage had better deco than past years. Dj booth was lower of course and i think it was better than a concert booth (last 2 years).. it is more "psy"... with the projections on it, was good. Actually many times, I thought it was "alive"! hehehehehhe!
Also I must add that deco was extended a bit into the camping area which is a highlight! 
Line up had a few cancellations but I think that in such a big line up 4-5 cancellations is ok.
I was really waiting for Xibalba live but..nevermind, next time I heard other projects makin good music..!
People was not too much, but the number was good enough to fulfill the main stage! Also the feeling was more familiar in the camp.
Facilities, as always, REAL toilets, thats a highlight too!Everything ok with it.
The prices at the bar, were fair enough for a fest. No prob with that even.
Anyway I had a great time there.. even with some small problems around and i feel greatful for hosting such a global event in our country.
Thumbs up again for this version!
WE ARE WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONE
More psychedelic...!

Also do not hesitate to inform the organisers through this topic about, problems you faced during the festival and issues that should be improved for the next version.
I think that info would be useful...!

we went from switzerland - 10 of us - and had a really great time - the setting of this festival by the beach is really great - the vibe and the people were fantastic - great energy.
but the organisation of the festival is really poor or say greek style? never some infos, timetable sometimes a big mess - chill and minimal stage long time no functional, massive delays and so on - and the minimal stage location was nothing for the daytime - way to hot by the beach and not having real shadow.
not so many shops and bars as last year - sunday afternoon 12am the break instead of 1pm and then the start nearly 1hrs later 4pm instead of 3pm - really chaotic and no informations at all.
so as greek i can only say -. yes, its good to have one - but not as chaotic as this orgs are.
again, the location is fantastic, the vibe great, people were gorgeous!! we loved it - but the org - ah yes - the main stage deko was the same as last year and the stage much smaller.
there is no point on writing to the orgs as they do not reply or improve - we wrote them last year - but with no result - and then also the infos and updates before the festie are not there.
we really hope that the orgs will finally take it to another level - anyway - we had an unforgettable time!
one love

I wrote something about the fest in the national section, but here is a bigger review:
This was my first Aurora festival, and so far most of the impressions i got from there a pretty good.
Sound on mainstage was brilliiant dont know why all of you complain it was low on volume, my tent was right next to the stage and thespecifics of that wall of sound make it equal to listen no matter if you are right next to the dj stage or 100 feet away. Thats why i didnt spend time on the mainstage because i heard it all right where my tent was. All I can say is that Total Eclipse, California Sunshine, Frechbax and Ace Ventura werre excellent. That is all i heard from the main stage.
The MOON stage was magical. Low on people, private party like, wonderfully decorated and well lit (except those shiny led diodes that pierced my eyes from time to time). I spent almost 15 hours a day there, i kind of miss it right now...
Time table was planned very good but it didnt came out as i expected. Last minute cancelations, shiftings that made me very nervous (like TICON starting their live act 30 min earlier, Gabe and Pena not showing up etc). The right side of the wall of sound was FARTING constantly whenever you mixed two tracks together. You should always have a spare speaker if something like that goes wrong.
Loved the programme during the daylights, first day FIORD, then SLATER, then SIMON B and finally VANJA. All daylight djs were GREAT, playing music that perfectly fit the atmosphere. It was a little too hot, so we all (by all i mean me and 5 or 6 people) had to hide in the giant shade from the BALL... or MOON ... but i definitely liked it.
One thing bothered me very much and i know its stupid but how could you possibly sell frozen beer on a festival. I mean beer is for refrehsment and when you freeze it it looses its taste and sparkles. Ffuuuuuiiiiii.
Before i came to Aurora my friends told me that it was the only festival that uses already built camp infrastructure which is a great advantage. And a big applause i would like to send to the organisers for the clean toilets, the hot water (not always but most of the time), the fair price in the supermarket and the restaurant.
Thank you aurora for allowing me to see Antix and Fiord and Ace Ventura and Beaty and the Beat and Ticon and James Monro and Simon B and lots of other artist that i moaned to hear.. in only one place.
My heart goes out to next years festival which i can hardly wait to happen.
Once again thank you all for the good vibe and keep up the good work.
