Nice Festival, Nice festival ground (enough space), a kind of lame audience but maybe due to the weather. Although i had a nice day not special. Heard some real good music from alex under, Bart skills (solid as always) Only negative point, with this weather 4,5 euros for a bottle of water is a lott of money.

It was ok, heard also some great music.
Darko, Bart Skils and yeah Michael Mayer :-)
Alex Under had some nice freaky sounds but most of his music is to heavy for me.
4,5 euros for a bottle of water is a lott of money indeed!

Think this was the best festival in Holland this year! Awakenings and FYM were also nice, but Rockit has really grown into a solid festival! I had a blast! Fuck it if people are lame, you can create your own party. :-)
The prices were indeed a shame! Especially when you get a bottle of water that hasn't been in the fridge. :-(
Mathias Kaden was great again! Too bad he had bad luck with the equipment. There was playing a mix cd for about 20 minutes because one "draaitafel" was out of order. :-(
(to Mathias: "We know you couldn't help it!")
Pascal FEOS, Bart Skils, V&S de Wit, Michael Mayer Secret Cinema and Steve Rachmad were all making very nice music yesterday!
When I saw the "viskraam" on the rockit stage had been replaced for a solid stage with solid sounds, I was thrilled and my day couldn't go wrong anymore...

I also had a great day! I found it a very widely set-up festival and indeed I heard a lot of very nice music this day. Especially FEOS, Michael, The Remote, Secret Cinema, Steve Ragmad and Mister May, at least that is what I heard.
The logistics on the field where also very ok, if for example you compare it with Extrema or something. No mayor holdings and big rows. But the prices COME ON! One glass of water 2,10 euro, Expensive but ok I can take that. But 4,20 (about) for a bottle, GO AWAY!
I drank for about 30,00 euro's on water! (even without drugs
But for the rest, I had a great time and I liked the crowd. Still have to place the pictures on-line, but I will do that tomorrow!

I'd really like to hear some more comments on the "water-issue"... I've been meaning to write an article about this for quite some time now, this might be the "drop that spills the bucket" ;)

as there were a lot of toilets at the festival area, I had no problem filling up my bottle again and again and againand againand againand againand again... Those who are not rich should act smart.
All and all a great day with nice sounds from Galluzzi, Kaden, Mayer, Ludwig and Butane. Thanks everybody for the great day (and night)!
Special thanks for Nicole and Luit....

I did it the same way indeed 
In the beginning I was wondering what the day would bring.. I was there early and all I saw were people with fluorecent party-clothes and groups of 'cool' boys with no shirt on and an 'houterig dansje' and already 30 beer down in an hour.. 
But it got better and better! Nice people, good dancingvibe and good music!
There were really different music-styles (like the kind of trance-stage at the end..?  ), so all sorts of people. And it mengled ok I think.
Musical highlights: Darko Esser, Alex Under, Michael Mayer and Steve Rachmad.
Great after at the Poema as well!

Had a nice festival in Maarssen! Personally I thought the atmosphere wasn't that great but as the day went on this got better.
Musical highlights: Mr. MAY! M. Mayer and A. Galuzzi.

It was a great party, best festival I have been to this summer so far!
Heard sets from Alex Under, Ludwig, Benny, Bart, Mr Mayer  and ended the evening with Rachmad.
And it was just really gezellig with all the lovely people I spent the day with

A very nice festival indeed... You can count me in for next year's edition... The large festival area might be to blame for the lack of 'atmosphere' for a large part of the day, it simply took some time to fill... On the other hand, that did leave me with enough room to dance, and there were hardly any queues to be seen... I've heard great sets from Alex Under, Bart Skils, Derrick May and - definitely worth the festival ticket all by himself - Master Michael Mayer...

I think I was there as well....hahaha, no I definetly was there!
I was late because I did a nightshift before and only slept for 1/2 an hour. This wasn't a really good thing to start your festival with.
We came in when alex under was playing his last part of the set and I must say to me it was a bit dissapointing..But then again, I only heard about 15 minutes.
I didn't see very much but for me the gezelligheid was definetly the most important factor.
Had so much good laughs.
I didn't have one cold drink all day..this is shameless...especially when you ask so much for a drink...The rest of the organisation seemd fine to me!

Not very special.... I was lucky and had free entrance.. But I can imagine that if you pay 40 euro's and you have to pay 4,40 for your water.... your not happy.
It looked a bit like a free entrance festival.. I didn't like the stages.... a bit scrappy for such a entrance price
The music was plain nice.... not very special.
Only Bart his last hour was a blast!
I prefer FYM ..... no Rockit for me next year

I saw different prices related to the water topic. To make it very clear (like good water): it was Eur. 4,44.
One thing I do not understand that a lot of people were so enthousiastic about Mayer's set. I met some people I know which are Mayer "fans" at different stages because they all told me it was so boring.
I did not tried it very long and walked to the next stage. Maybe the moment the flow was came into it was after a while and otherwise it's just a matter of taste and mood.

Hey, iemand die spelling check geprobeerd? Zelfs taal omzetten naar Pools levert geen fouten op!

I guess you have to love his sound to be enthousiastic about his set. I also think his style is (most of his sets) pretty boring, so I stayed at Galluzzi who was rocking the place. Best example is the "hit" Gay Burito made. You love it or you hate it, but it's a typical record Mayer would play. I think it's a dull "zaag-plaat" that doesn't go anywhere.
to PB: nice pictures you made dude!!
