Just before dunk!festival 2017 we had Pray For Sound coming over to the Deaftone Studio to have some fun. They performed Everywhere, Everywhere and Congratulations, You're Alive from their latest album Everything Is Beautiful, released on dunk!records in Sept 2016. This is the result:
Behold! The official poster for dunk!USA. Designed by our good friend Error! Design. With only 33 days to go we strongly suggest to head over to the Higher Ground website and grab those tickets.
We noticed there are some issues to find a place to sleep during dunk!USA. One of the reasons we decided to take the festival to Vermont was the promise of an excellent setting with the leaves changing color in what they call they Green Mountain State, which won't be that green anymore... Because the leaves are now all sorts of colors... Anyway, you get it. But also a lot of other people decided to go there to enjoy the scenery during Columbus Weekend. That means hotels are getting fully booked. So we thought it was a good idea to list a few options for you ...
So you want to know which day would be best to attend dunk!USA. Saturday or Sunday? The obvious answer is: both days of course! But if you have to choose for one day for whatever reasons, this schedule will help you make the difficult decision. More detailed hourly schedules will follow later. (Doors are at 2pm, last show ends around midnight.) ...
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to complete the line-up for this historical edition of our tiny little festival with this last announcement containing five amazing acts, festival headliner included. Here they are! ...
Let's talk a little bit more about this US thingy we're doing now. Maybe you didn't notice yet but we are dead serious about it. Our goal is nothing less than setting up a memorable event from the start. And of course an amazing line-up is an important part of creating a unique experience. And we're pretty good on our way to have that covered ...
It took us a little while but we are finally able to announce a bunch of new names for dunk!USA 2017. With this announcement we're just halfway the entire line-up but this is already worth the trip to the 'Green Mountain State' if you ask us! Be sure the rest of the line-up will follow soon. There's only 73 days to go!!
There's this band called Stories From The Lost rehearsing in our headquarters and recording just right across the dunk!fields (at Deaftone Studios) so we thought it was a good idea to go and have a look how that new album is shaping up ...
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...
