Dour festival 2005

Another fun Belgian festival I would like to go is Dour festival.
For more than 10 years now, the fields of the peaceful village of Dour transform into a laboratory of modern music for 4 days per year. Between Thursday 14 and Sunday 17 July more than 200 bands and dj’s will perform on one of the 6 stages. Dour is much more than a festival. It is a concept, an equalled atmosphere, a pure party and above all very democratic (beyond all doubt the cheapest European festival in its category).

As far as the music is concerned, the program shows an attractive mix of rock, poprock, reggae, ragga, ska, elektro, techno, drum’n’bass, metal, hardcore, hiphop…

Next to big names as headliners, Dour has also a reputation for its discoveries: felix da housecat, the hacker dj set, slam live, vitalic, dj gilles peterson ft mc earl zinger, jeff mills, vive la fête, amon tobin, robots in disguise, the herbaliser live, richie hawtin, jack de Marseille, les georges Leningrad, etienne de crecy presents superdiscount 2 live feat alex gopher and julien delfaud, tokyo ska paradise, napalm death, laibach, i am x , fantômas, the queers, lady jane, sweatshop live, mandrak, cosy mozzy, soldout, Electrocute, Mylo, Stéreo Total, etc.

Roughly summarised: music, party, camping, holiday, meetings, cosyness, discoveries, tolerance, multicultural, fun ... in Dour, from 14 till 17 July.
