[frederik]

[Ozpat]

[Ozpat]

Shame Clouseau plays on Friday instead of Saturday as a warm up for the Girls....

[Obviousman]

Well, now at least we know Christophe will be going there for two days

[Dark]

goodness gracious, I'll be there

who won't be

*raises hand*

[radiojamaica]

Groovy Baby!!!

I heard about this around noon today and by the time I get here now, everybody's already on the road to Belgium... as it should be

I prefer them headlining a festival like this than opening big festivals like Werchter or Pinkpop, I wanna see the lights, ma'am

The fact that Liesbeth can't come is really sad, but hey, you guys seem to enjoy a good wedding every now and then, no? (But Z's right, we'll party like it's 1999!)

I'm sure a couple more dates will follow soon

[Andrew S]

Lap, twas te denken hè (excuse me some Flemish frustration)

Can't be there due to family matters

Why do people get married in the middle of the festival season?

Oh just skive the wedding!

Ahem... ladies and gentlemen, another shade of shiva has been sponsored. Someone paid Eldo a lot of cash and another pattern of the Dok will be hit on a 2nd class summer festival in Belgium.

Hey, i always travelled 2nd class, no offense, but isn't this getting weird? Why no update on the official site? Why no news? Frequently asked questions of the boring kind, i know...

[Ozpat]

Did you expect anything else?

[dinky daisy]

Eldo lying in bed, phone rings.

"Hey Von, if you need some cash for the chemist, there's another festival with too friendly people in the organization who turned up with an interesting pay check for a Sisters show... They switch the smoke machine on, you only have to hide in the fog and act you're a singer."

"Uhu. When's the party?"

"It says... early July."

"Let them pay cash in advance. Have you called Ben and Chris already?"

"...No."

"Fine, keep it that way. Gonna do it by myself this time."

Maybe sounds too cynical. Of course i'm glad for some of us.

Very tempted by this. The girlfriend's first Sisters experience was the Astoria gig last year, and she thought it really good, so who knows what kind of impact a headlining spot at a festival could have!?!!?

Can someone clarify what the nearest airport is to the festival site for me please, and if thats within a reasonable distance of the festival.

Thanks

>you might get wet, cold and probably bored...the impact will be that they are last on stage which might result in a shorter set, depending on noise restrictions and time limits.
