A detailed schedule per day will be announced next week! We are currently putting the puzzle together, but realize that some people might be waiting to purchase tickets until they know the definite schedule, so we will do our best to have this ready asap!
Tickets are available on this website or at all Fnac and Free Record Shops! More stores will be provided with tickets soonish. Check our website regularly for updates! So far, we have sold twice as many weekend tickets compared to the same period last year. This means tickets are going FAST, so don't hesitate any longer if you don't want to miss out on the festival this year!
As said in our previous update, we will be setting up an official pre-fest on Thursday 11 August after a one-year-hiatus! The pre-fest won’t take place on the festival ground, but in the brand new JOC (Youth Centre) just outside the railway station. In the meantime you can still help us out by suggesting which Belgian (!!) bands you wanna see play there (
