Belgium Wattemers

I'm hopefully playing at a new festival in Gent, Belgium on the 17th April next year called 'Once upon a festival'. Its from the 15th to the 17th, and my best mate is getting married on the 16th so can only make it on the last day(out of 365 fucking days he chooses that one haha)!!

So anyway, while I'm there I'm thinking of trying to get a few gigs around the area and thinking of travelling as far as the Netherlands, via Amsterdam. So anyone who lives in these areas, suggest beautiful places for me to go and look at. At the moment I'm clicking through Google Maps looking at places that look amazing and wishing I was there now!!

Really looking forward to going back to Gent again, everyone I met was lovely. Such a beautiful place too.

I'm sure I tried to insult a Belgian wattemer a few weeks ago, so there's definitely at least one knocking about.

Did it work? Your insult I mean? Because if you scared off my only link to Belgiumland I will be rather miffed!

In french 'kaka' = 'shit', fits quite fine for this situation...

Ah yes, the belgians...

 

I didn't get your post

Doesn't seem a very nice person to me. But I don't think we should judge all Belgians by one person. Unless it's...

Great. Thanks guys.

In Belgium, I like:

Brussels

Liège/Luik/Lüttich

Hasselt

Oostende is fucked up in a funny way. Especially if you watched the movie Ex-Drummer.

Nice, will look at those places. What's good to do there? Any clubs or bars that put on IDM(blah) type gigs? Cheers mate!

If you check the agenda on these fora you'll have a pretty good idea what's going on over here:

bliip.com

come-early-leave-late.be

boups.com

As you'll notice not much 'IDM' type of parties going on over here I'm afraid but mostly breakcore, tekno, hardtek kind of stuff.

This is going to awesome.

*crosses fingers*

to be*

this IS going to awesome

I am considering attending this. I want to fly to Europe some time this summer when school is out but I might wait and see if Ae or any other big name dudes go on tour so I can catch them as well as go on a holiday.

And I'll bring my box.

Maybe there is, if so I don’t know them. Belgium is mostly Breakcore and New Rave/French Touch, like the guy said somewhere above.

Some electronic friendly sites:

http://www.muziekodroom.be

I just realised, this may be perfect: http://www.strp.nl Strijp Festival in Eindhoven, NL.

A rather large electronic arts and music festival announced to take place in April 2010. I’ve been there this year.

I usually starts off with two days and nights of music madness at some former Philips industrial site.

Cheers Ivan for the links!
