So, for me the fun part of Summer is: plenty of music festivals in and around Belgium to attend. Since Thanos expected a report, here it is!
From the 12th until the 15th I attended Bospop - which for me is just across the border - in Weert, the Netherlands.
On the 12th I got to see:
James Morrison, Richard Ashcroft and Toto. Pretty fun night with a great show of Toto!
Saturday the 13th I saw:
Living Colour, The Cat Empire, Hall & Oates, Flogging Molly, Skunk Anansie and John Fogerty with his "My 50 Year Trip"-tour. Living Colour was great, Flogging Molly is always fun, Skunk Anansie is still amazing after 25 years and John Fogerty's show was simply legendary. I've seen Fogerty 3 times: twice in my hometown and now at Bospop, I can safely say this one at Bospop was the best I've seen.
Alright, on to Sunday the 14th:
Level 42, Foreigner, Rowwen Hèze, Joe Jackson, the Specials and Nile Rodgers & Chic. The headliner of the day was supposed to be Sting, but he cancelled because he had voice problems. So Nile Rodgers & Chic moved to the headliner spot and local heroes Rowwen Hèze moved from the Tentstage to the Mainstage (luckily for me: I wanted to see them, but this lazy ass wasn't planning on wading through the sea of madness aka 30,000 visitors!). Anyway, Foreigner was my first highlight: I've seen them many times, but they never let you down! Rowwen Hèze was the party I expected. Joe Jackson had more familiar songs than I thought and Nile Rodgers & Chic are a Disco and Soul machine that even got this lazy ass dancing! After that there was a great afterparty.
Monday the 15th:
Time to get up, break up that tent and head home! Coming weekend there's another music festival, this time in my hometown: Blues Peer!
