One doesn't even know quite how to sum this up...

Oh crikey. To live in Belgium. Fuck it, we're all going. Come on, who's coming?

Running from July 13th-16th, the Dour Festival, Belgium encompasses seemingly every genre in the world, inviting the best artists, DJs and performers from each to one 4-day festival, all totalling £50.

I would in fact go as far to say as this is the best alternative festival line-up of all time. Every time I look at the line-up, I find something new. So check it out:
