Sisters to play Rock Zottegem, Belgium

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

what I understood is that you have a festival site but that there's a big tent where everything is going to happen :eek:

Still haven't booked a hotel. (Yes, I am too old and too decadent for camping).

Any suggestions?

Yeah, Stefan is correct. The stage is in a big tent. I'd like it to be outdoors, but with the belgian weather et all :roll: :innocent:

you can see some pics on their website: http://www.rock-zottegem.be/archive/index.aspx

I don't like big tents. I prefer outdoors.......even if it's raining on this
favorite wedding day... :roll:

Won't be there, sadly enough :|

I have too much other things on me heid, and I have to say, paying almost 25 euro to see the Sissies in a tent in the middle of Nowhere, nah, no can do :|

And I would really come and see them ALONE, because the rest is pure pish.

Really, I don't understand why they put Admiral Wannabee before the Sissies instead of Daan? :evil:

He would fit much better, he comes much closer to their music than Admiral N00bee. (I mean, glam electro versus protestsong-Neil-Young-Wannabee???)

Now we got Gorki (yay.) and Mister Shiny Boots spoiling the day. Darn... :(

The Van Jets? Stubru whizzkids. Datsuns? Idem ditto. And saw them a gazillion times before. Which describes 'A Brand' very nicely as well.

Only thing this festival needed was one more time 'De Fixkes' :urff:

Ja en dan neem je de rest toch op de koop toe? :D

I would not give a s**t even if Gerard Joling, Eddy Wally or Heino were playing before the Sisters.... 8)

I got such ones too, you just show them at the entrance, their validness is electronically checked, and you are allowed in :P it's that simple, the prints count as tickets.

Oh yesss, finally there's a festival that gives them more than one lousy hour of playing time!
This probably means the Zottegem people paid good money for the BIG set-up...
Will I dream? I think I will... Possession, On the Wire/Teachers & Sister Ray etc, but they can leave the iron shop at home ;D

And Pat, the 8th only starts the next day when I wake up. Or maybe the one after that :innocent:

:lol: ...one after sounds more likely indeed. I have my experiences of not living a day after being in your country... :D

As a matter of fact the date was a hint to those people who have weddings and stuff like that on the 7th... :innocent: ;D

0:15? The festival site said 16:00 not long ago! How can they just change stuff when you've already bought your ticket for the 16:00?? :urff:
