Dour 2014 - Thursday and Friday

Hi lovelies,
Dour report #4, Let's talk about a bit more about day 2 and 3 which were the first 2 days of the festival. As you can see below the weather was fantastic. The sun shone all day every day (except on Saturday but shht) not only did the sun shine but it was soooo hot that most of day you couldn't do anything but search for shadow. Shadow unfortunately is not something you find much at a festival so every inch of shadow is jampacked with people. Thank God the organisation behind Dour made big waterbottles readily available without being too expensive. To deal with the heat the firedepartement also came by to function as a giant shower.

Another lovely feature at Dour, especially in the heat is the bar du petit bois, which is the cutest little bar in the woods with sand, hammocks, chairs and cuter drinkcups. They only allow a specific number of guests in the bar so it's never too crowded and you can escape from everything for awhile, whilst still hearing the music.

Now which artists did we actually see? Not too many as most time was spend chilling in the shadow but we did see bits and pieces from Intergalactic Lovers, Raving George, Klaxons, Channel Zero, Kolsch, Bakermat, Within temptation(who really wasn't as good live as I hoped and most of it wasn't even live), Klingande, Blood Red Shoes, I don't even remember who I saw on Thursday... We never made the lasts shows, those were too early in the morning. The granny I am couldn't stay awake that long. Sad, I know, because the best people often come around the hour I needs sleepies.
