Back from Pukkelpop


I’m just back home from Pukkelpop, this year is already the sixth time we went to this festival. We left around 7 AM on Thursday and arrived in Kiewit a bit more than 2.5 hours later. From there it’s a short walk to the festival and camping area.

Carmen and I set up our tent at the campsite and a couple of hours later the first bands started playing. Contrary to other years this year it was pretty dry, we had very little rain.

Day 1

Some more photos I took with my cameraphone:

Kaiser Chiefs. Their singer Ricky Wilson decided to do some climbing, not sure how high he got but I think it was at least about 3-4 meter:

You can get all kinds of food at Pukkelpop including fries, pizza, spaghetti and other kinds of pasta, kebab, bbq, sandwiches, ice cream, … Most of this stuff is pretty expensive for what you get.

Within Temptation

Lacuna Coil:

It’s hard to choose but I think the Kaiser Chiefs’ gig was the best one I saw this year.
