Pukkelpop 2010 Review

Pukkelpop 2010, the 25th anniversary, although the event itself is older than most of girls there, I mean visitors... a lot of respect was paid to the old legends. Legends like Iron Maiden, Queens of the Stone age, Limp Bizkit, The Prodigy. They still Rocked and Rolled, or take you to the hospital for the latter one. The prodigy was, as always, mayhem, but on field, at night, on an event with more than 60.000 people, moshpits the size of football fields were created. Steve Aoki, definatly can be called a legend as well as a rocker, made the Boiler Room boil until you could drink straight from the air itself.

Artists like Uffie and Die Antwoord have there own category of music and both gave away great show. Die Antwoord was as shocking as they are on TV. By that I mean, the Pink Floyd-boxer-move was performed as never before.

After bouncing Jakwob, Caspa and Pendulum for so long we almost forgot how to dance on electro & techno again.

Of course we where in front of all the tens of thousands of people that came to see our hero's, The Bloody Beetroots. As they wrote on their blog.

"No celebrations, no walls, no rules . . . Just Music."

Boys Noize was the gatekeeper of the whole Boyz Noize day at the Boiler Room (which was crazy), he played a terrific set, stretching his tracks in to one big electric flow.

And in between all this dancing, rocking, wobbling, bouncing and jumping, we found some time to listen to a personal favorite of ours, from a different side of the music spectrum. Mumford and Sons, was as beautiful as it was emotional. The Sons where so surprised by the sheer amount of fans that welcomed them on stage they filled there eyes with joy and our ears with the authentic folk music they produce.

All and all, Pukkelpop the 25th anniversary made us dance like idiots and smell like pigs. . . Awesome!

A little bonus for you all. A great song Steve Aoki opened up with:

Douster - King Of Africa
