So a few weeks ago, I travelled to Paris courtesy of Eurostar and We Are Social where I went to the Rock en Seine festival. You can see the full report here. Now the same nice people are kindly offering a Nialler9 reader a free pair of Eurostar tickets to either Paris, Brussels or Lille. Your choice. It’s all part of their Little Break Big Difference campaign.
Once you get to your destination, you can do anything you like or travel a bit further afield. In the more, I’ve compiled a list of gigs taking place in each city which includes shows from Pixies, Phoenix, Boys Noize, Fuck Buttons, Massive Attack, Andrew Bird, Grizzly Bear, Sonic Youth and loads more. Or you can just chill in the city for the duration of your stay. More ideas here .
If you’re based in Ireland, you’ll still have to make your own way to St. Pancras station in London (a cheap return flight does the job) but the offer is open to UK readers as well of course. Other terms and conditions: Entrants must be over 18 / Tickets are available for travel between now and the 15th November / Entrants must be able to make their own way to St Pancras / Avaliable to UK and Ireland participants only. Competition closes on the 6th of October at 9am.
Here’s how you enter:
Leave a comment below outlining what you’d like to use the tickets for.
The best answer will win the tickets.
