Yes it's that time of the year again! Time to spend your days outside in the sun, the shade of trees, the mud, the rain, the green grass (which is getting less green every day) of Werchter!


Day One (thursday the 28th of june)

17:00-17:40 Billy Talent
A nice enough Canadian punk-rockband which best song either irritates you immensely or makes you strangely happy (I'm in the last category btw).

18:05-18:55 Zornik
Belgian band with a great new album, very good live, enjoyable Muse-like songs.

19:35-20:35 Air
Totally relaxing!

21:00-22:00 Marilyn Manson
So much better than the last time! I enjoyed the show, the songs, the atmosphere... and even the new songs worked well live.

22:35-23:50 Björk
Amazing as always! Great show, funny costumes and dancing, fantastic voice, great musicians as "band", brilliant songs and sounds.

22:45-0:00 Beastie Boys
Mark went to see them and he said they were great. I only saw two songs which were ok but the sound sucked!

0:30-2:00 Muse
Still one of the greatest live bands ever and the songs of their latest album are great too! And the classics are...well, classics right?

Day Two (friday the 29th of june)

16:25-17:25 Kaiser Chiefs
Their music makes me want to sit in a real English pub and have a cold pint of beer, some juicy pie and watch some football on the telly ;-)

18:00-19:00 Bloc Party
Completely different but still brilliantly British. This band has such a great sound!

19:35-20:35 Queens of the Stone Age
Their music rocks and they keep getting better live.

21:10-22:20 Arctic Monkeys
Cute little monkey-boys making quite good music. They'll keep getting better I think.

23:00-0:30 Pearl Jam
Loads of nostalgia but the songs just don't have the same impact any more. Great performance though.

Day Three (saturday the 30th of june)

15:05-16:05 Amy Winehouse
Even drunk she has a fantastic voice and her band sounded great (and sober ;-p). Very special lady!

16:40-17:40 Snow Patrol
Great band, great performance even-though it seems they keep losing luggage at our airport every-time they play in Belgium.

18:15-19:15 The Killers
Definitely the best thing to ever come out of Las Vegas! Quite an experience!

19:30-20:45 Arno
A great Belgian performer, perfect company for our dinner ;-)

19:55-21:10 Peter Gabriel
Real decent music, great songwriter, great performer and he can even dance ;-)

21:20-22:35 The Good, the Bad and the Queen
I'm not wild about it but it would probably have sounded a hell of a lot better with good sound and quiet people!

23:10-0:25 LCD Soundsystem
Wow! Now this IS something to get wild about! Very danceable and fun electronic-rock-noise-music mix.

Day Four (sunday the 1st of july)

15:25-16:25 Maxïmo Park
Nice enough but not very exciting.

15:45-16:45 The Kooks
Nice, very English (heavy accent!), rock-music. Enjoyable ;-)

17:20-18:20 Interpol
Absolutely brilliant! Such beautiful songs and so perfectly performed! Wow!

18:20-19:10 Frank Black
Un-comparable! No-one can scream and moan like Frank Black. And a good performance too ;-)
