3. Dour Festival on 17 Jul 2008
Location: Rue de La Machine à Feu, 7370 Dour, Belgium
This summer we'll celebrate the 20th Dour Festival. The event has been sold-out for the past 3 years and was even sold-out a few days early last summer. In 2007 the festival beat all its previous crowd records with a total of 144.000 kids over 4 days. Of those, more than 32 000 have slept in the camping site which the team was forced to open on Wednesday night. Indeed it was up to 23.000 festival-goers who arrived a day early! For the first time in its history the team had to turn away about 15.000 festivalgoers every day.
Dour has something for everyone One of the strongest draws of Dour is without a doubt its programme. Every year at Dour you get a unique international bill (bands were coming from 28 different countries last year) that's different, alternative, independent, ambitious and sharp with an accent on new discoveries. All that at a very low price that can't be beaten.
Dour Festival is a meeting place for like-minded people Since its beginning the Dour Festival has owed much of its appeal to its incredible atmosphere. A multi-cultural audience that shares a love for music and partying creates a fun vibe throughout the site. The Dour Festival has become the unmissable music event of the summer for thousands of kids across Europe.
A festival that listens to its audience Last year we asked our audience to tell us their best and worst moments of the festival. Around 1200 of you took the time to get back to us. We've listened to your feedback and we'll make sure to use them to offer you a festival that's even closer to your expectations. We will send you regular updates on new improvements for the Dour 08
A festival with a conscience The festival' social agenda is not a sideshow anymore. People come to Dour to get informed as well thanks to our NGO village. This summer will be the 4th time the festival will welcome many social and political associations to inform the festivalgoers about NGO's and what can be done to help the planet.
Dour Festival = 200 bands, 4 days, 6 stages Like every summer the festival will be held on the 3rd weekend of July, by the spoil heaps of the old coal mining site 'La Plaine de La Machine a Feu'. Dour the village is situated in the south of Belgium, by the French Border. For 4 days 200 bands will play their tunes on 2 open-air stages and 4 marquees in front of an avid audience. This is the festival that never sleeps with non stop music from 12am until 5am the next day.
The 20th Dour Festival The Dour festival is a unique concept that has already seduced 1.255.000 festival-goers across Europe. Why should we change a winning formulae now? What about an even better bill in an even better atmosphere? Would you miss that?

7. Kendal Calling on 1 Aug 2008
Location: Kendal, United Kingdom
It's festival season again and we are super glad to announce the line up for the third Kendal Calling. Nestled in the hills and valleys of Cumbria at the gateway to the Lake District, Kendal is the venue for this festival of homage to great music and great times.
Set up by a group of music lovers in 2006 we have no sponsors, corporate cash or media partners, we work purely with performers and fans and aim to give the best value for money experience we can. Kendal Calling is a place where you can enjoy quality music from seasoned pros and fresh new acts with like-minded people and no messages other than listen to this and have a good time. We build great moments and performances in the spirit of originality so you've got more to take home with you than just a T-shirt! So expect some great one off performances and special shows.
This year we have a spread of music styles across three days giving all enough time to see and do it all without having to run a mile for the next act or loose your friends for six hours waiting at the bar.
More news will be following and as you can see we already have some awesome acts booked to play, roll on August!
