We didn't really wrap up dunk!festival2017 properly yet but there's no time to waste because the very first edition of dunk!USA is coming closer already. In just 106 days we kick off the second dunk!festival in 2017, this time in Burlington, Vermont...
Here it is! The official aftermovie for dunk!festival 2017. Sit back, relax and think back about those beautiful days in Zottegem, Velzeke with a whole bunch of wonderful performances...
Luc & Wout, father and son, are founders and co-organizers of the festival. Their job is to make sure everything falls into place in the end and every team can do its job without any problems. Of course assembling the line-up is an important part of the job.
It seems like the weather gods are into post-rock. We've been monitoring the weather forecast and it's looking better every day. Just to show you how excellent it's going to be, we made this chart with temperatures and chance of rain.
There will be a shuttle driving between the train station and the festival but also consider walking to the festival through the Flemish country side. It's a little bit more than 3km if you take the scenic route and it leads you through the fields and forests surrounding the festival.
You are probably aware of the fact that the festival has this label project called dunk!records where we release a few albums on vinyl once in a while. For this years edition of the festival we have some pretty cool new releases coming up. But also recently released albums you can hear live at #dnk17 and some very interesting represses...
Here's another crew interview! Our artist managers are working really hard at this very moment to make sure all bands arrive on time and have everything they need before and after their show.
Muses by Audiolepsia is released today! "One of the strongest releases of the year" according to the Post-rock Facebook Page. The album is available in two color editions. Both pressed on high quality 180g vinyl and limited to 125 copies each. The beautiful artwork (by Khoa Le) is printed on reverse cardboard.
With only a few weeks until the 13th edition of the festival kicks off we thought it was a good idea to ask Artuur (who's doing his internship at dunk!HQ) to assemble this podcast with his personal highlights for the upcoming festival...
It took us a little longer to fit all 44 bands in but it's finally ready! The time schedule for #dnk17.
It's coming closer! --> http://itsalmo.st/#dnk17
A little while ago Lost In Kiev came to visit us at dunk!HQ and we all went to the Deaftone Studios around the corner to record a song or two: Somnipathy and Mirrors from their latest album Nuit Noire. An excellent warm-up for what they will bring at dunk!festival in a few weeks...
We are all excited about those secret forest shows so we thought it might be a good idea to set up a few more of those this year. There will be three bands a day performing in the forest. So nine in total. We moved the location a little bit deeper into the woods...
If Wolves by Kokomo is their first album released on vinyl and the very first release of dunk!records back in 2011. In February 2016 a second pressing was made and sold out in one year. Like the other pressings this 3rd one is also limited to 300 copies...
Meet Sam & Jonas, the chefs of the festival. For years they've been assembling and preparing the delicious meals together with their team of family, friends and neighbors. Also this year their paella will be sub-headlining the festival.
Like last year we offer these comfortable hotel rooms at the festival. No need to drag your tent with you, no waste of time setting up your tent and a lot of extra comfort.
A Flexotel is a comfortable event hotel on the site. They offer heated cabins for 2-4 people.
Today is release day for this wonderful double LP and first live album of Russian Circles. The pre-order went faster than ever before. The entire worldwide stock is as good as gone. Sargent House is completely sold out, A Thousand Arms (US) has only a few more copies available and our dunk!store has just a small amount of Orange/Bone vinyls left...
We're sorry to inform you that Jambinai had to cancel their show at dunk!festival2017. But that also means there was a spot available again. We're really happy that BRIQUEVILLE immediately confirmed to join the line-up for #dnk17! And we're absolutely sure this will be another highlight of the festival.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to announce the very last name to join the line-up for #dnk17. We're extremely happy to have these legends playing their last festival show in Belgium. Ever! So it's actually already historical to only have them on the line-up.
Let us shine our light on this years line-up. It took us a little longer than usual but we also have a little bit more bands than usual so that makes sense right? Anyway, we listened through the entire line-up (again) and it got us even more excited than we already were! It's going to be a wonderful musical adventure for three days with exciting plot twists and everything. ...
