Any ideas when tickets go on sale?

I hope so. Even sons of vikings has difficulties explaining to girlfriends why I want to ditch Tuscany for some multi-sport& culture complexe full of horrible music (she quite likes Aranis, though).
 
The massif central is just as beautiful as TuscannyStarStarStarStarStar. There is plenty to see in the area, including Albi, Castre (this Cathar country), Cordes, Castelnau >>> fortified villages a gogo.
 
Slightly colder, though!! But I don't think this should scare NorwegiansLOL!!!

It's about the music though, not sight seeing (unless one of the bands has a pretty girl in it -- like Magma!)!

Damn poor timing. In Europe for three months and I leave a week before the festival... I'll have to think about changing flights.

Life is terrible: I'm not sure to be able to come.
If I'm lucky, I could begin to work around the 1st of september. How could I ask for having a four-days holiday after only two weeks at my job???
And how could I "pray" for not having this job???

Hello,

I will be going for sure to this 2009 edition of R.I.O on September.
I already have flight tickets, train tickets, and reservation in festival area.
I will be flying from Los Angeles to Paris, then taking a train from Paris to Carmaux
I went to the 2007 edition and it was fantastic but surprisingly the line-up this time got even better!
So count me in for sure (A friend of mine from texas is also going and we're meeting up in Paris)
Anyone else going for sure?

That's great!
I'm gonna get there on Thursday night and I'm gonna be staying at the hotel of the festival called cap d' couverte, so I'm probably not gonna be taking the shuttle too much (maybe one day to check out the toulouse museum) but I'm most likely going to stay around the festival area.
I'm really excited to see all of the bands but specially Magma, Koenji, and the Univers Zero/Present concert.

I've also checked out the trains from Paris to Camaux, but it looks like a very long ride, isn't it easier to just fly to Toulouse?
Which train are you taking?

I've also thought about flying straight to Toulouse but it's a way more tiring trip from the US (you have to wait almost a whole day at the NY airport before leaving to Europe) and also more expensive than to fly to Paris and then taking a train to Carmaux.
I did this same itinerary on the 2007 edition (flying to Paris then taking a train) and I really loved the train journey because even though it's a nine hour trip, the views that you see are beautiful so it doesn't even become tiring. I really recommend taking the train instead of flying to Toulouse.
I'm taking train #3641to Carmaux on Thursday 17th departing at 2 pm and arriving at Carmaux at 10:55pm.
