Dour Festival - 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th of July

Dour Festival or the summer’s event. Indeed it’s presented as the super festival where every single being considered as a human by itself shoud go. Reasons? Laugh prices and laugh line-up as well. Laugh prices because of the cheap they are, 4-days ticket costs 75 Euro (you’ve to add 15 more Euro if you want to put your tent at the camping), and laugh line-up… take a look and you’ll realize that the question to make is not “which artists are going to play there?”… instead you should ask “which artists are NOT going to play there?” because half a world is included on the line-up! At first sight, people would probably think “well… they may be not very well known artists”, isn’t it? Let’s get started: Hot chip, The rapture, Vive la fête, Swayzak, Adult., Dave Clarke, Blackstrobe, Justice, Simian mobile disco, Teenage bad girl, SebastiAn, DJ Mehdi, … wanna me going on with this? Because I comfortably could! Actually, i could keep on saying artists until have reached 200 of them. Massive.
The festival will be arranged during 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th of July, in a little belgian village called Dour, next to Charleroi-Brussels airport (well known among the studens and young people for belonging to Ryanair-cheap-as-hell airlines), exactly is around 40 km ago from the airport.
In this edition, the 19th one, apart of the prices we said before, we emphasize their eclectic and complete line-up, where we can find a lot of musical styles, from electro to punk and hardcore, drum and bass, dubstep, dancehall and dub included. But the electro section is the one where the organization has probably put more effort, at least it seems, due to the ONE DAY ED BANGER DEDICATED STAGE!
Yes, belgians have pushed the boat out and they have hired half a label. There you will find Justice, Busy P, DJ Mehdi, SebastiAn, Uffie and Feadz all together, isn’t it terrific? But not everything is about Ed Banger at all. A lot of same-pattern artists are included as well, so the electro lover will feel like being in heaven.
Hereafter, we are going to make a little resume of what the festival consists on, dividing by day and mentioning the artists that in our opinion are the most important (attention, that’s not the total line-up, actually it has more than the double of artists of those who we are going to mention):

12th July
The skatalites, Vive la fête, Wu-Tang Clan, Guitar wolf, Bonobo, The cinematic orchestra, DJ Food & DK (Solid steel), Coldcut, Agoria, Tiefschwarz, Swayzak, Noisia, Grooverider, Andy C, DJ Hype, Kid606.

13th July
The national, Hot chip, The rapture, Clap your hands say yeah, Bright eyes, Erase errata, No means no, The horrors, Adult., Dave Clarke, Blackstrobe, DJ 3000, Converge, Walls of jericho, Sick of it all, Stereo total, Simian mobile disco, Motor, Digitalism, Technasia, RJ2D2, Jimi Tenor & Kabu Kabu, Skream, Joe Nice, Wiley.

14th July
Dropkick murphys, Girls in Hawaii, Motorpsycho, Melchior, Teenage bad girl, Fixmer & McCarthy, Princess superstar, Vitalic, Dr. Lektroluv, Sworn enemy, SebastiAn, Busy P, DJ Mehdi, Uffie & Feadz, Justice, Erol Alkan, The notwist, Luke Vibert, Autechre, Venetian Snares, Otto Von Schirach.

15th July
Black rebel motorcycle club, Wilco, Amon tobin, Abstrackt keal agram, James Delleck, DJ Shadow, Dr. Octagon, DJ Dan vs Mr. Magnetik, Alex Nilson, DJ’s or not, Percubaba, Merzbow, Wolf eyes, Sunn O))), 65daysofstatic, dDamage, Para one.

So, in main words, that’s what Dour Festival is, a terrific artist meeting, condensend in one single event, and, in addition, cheap as hell, because otherwise, if you would like to see them all separated, you’d spend huge quantities of money. So cheer up yourself and give it a try. You deserve it! And if you finally decide to go, drop us a line, because we will go too!
Cheers!
