Perhaps less heavy than we are used to on our website. Nevertheless, DIRK. made it a fantastic indie rock evening in Ghent. Warmed up by Sad Boys Klub and John Lemon, the well-filled VIERNULVIER venue had a great time.
Of course, we were present again at Alcatraz Festival, trying to see as many of the awesome bands as possible. But seeing so many people having the times of their lives pulled our cameras away from the bands regularly, capturing the great community and atmosphere you could find all over the place!
The last day of a long and exhausting weekend of great music and atmosphere was all about the Belgian music scene at La Morgue with Aeveris, Brutal Sphincter, Hexa Mera, Mantah and Reject The Sickness!
The last day of a long and exhausting weekend of great music and atmosphere with some of the most extreme music around on the Swamp Stage from Serpents Oath, Archspire, Kataklysm and Bloodbath!
