Pinkpop 2008, day 2 with Kaiser Chiefs, Justice, Foo Fighters and faggy pink ponchos

An interesting line-up on day 2...

...with...(oops) Justice...and even after an impressive show at the AB a few weeks ago, this set was different. First part sounded pretty like the last set, but the second half of the show (call it show, because it is show) was f***ing awesome.


Rammstein through the speakers and party galore, everybody was shaking, jumping, banging on every bleep they produced.
I think I'm going to see them once again at Werchter (it's all coincidence, I swear ;-) and that 'll be the last time, for a long time, I guess.


Kaiser Chiefs. Again, these guys are masters in producing football anthems. They rocked the place, played with the audience, and seemed to have a lot of fun on stage. Way to go Leeds United FC! And yes Peanut still looks like a peanut.

Sorry Groove Armada...I was hungry, tired, thirsty and had to go to the "bathroom". It took me almost 45 minutes...but it sounded like a party from where I was s(h)itting.



Ending this festival day with screaming guitars: Foo Fighters, not with Rave Grohl, famous for dirty mixes & mash-ups, but with his unofficial brother Dave Grohl.


A great show, everybody got loco (including pogo) on the overload of drum & guitar solos, ending with the all-time Foo classic "All My Life", still my favourite FF track.



The Pinkpop organisation must have warned several times for a rain storm coming up, so we bought some kinky pink ponchos (5 ponchos, each 2 EUR, then sold one back for 10 euro to a fine young man,...don't we all like Dutch people? ;-)

MSTRKRFT fans? :-)

"Hup Holland Hup...we're gonna win the Cup!"
But not before Antwerp goes to First Division this year! (grin)

Werchter '07 - Phantom reports III

Gabriel Rios
Probably talking about a sweet sms he received "You were fabulous last night at Werchter! Tiny x" ;-)

Admiral Freebee
Antwerp represent (again)

Dr. Lektroluv himself
...drinking at the bar! You see, mummy? Even the Doctor drinks beer (or orange juice?).
He played an impressive set, ending with my favourite mix of the moment:
Mr. Oizo - Killing In The Name Of (Rage Against The Machine)
It was not on the official setlist, but did that Piramide Marquee explode, or what?
Can't wait to buy his new live album - official release 16 July 07 in Belgium!

De Heideroosjes

Kaiser Chiefs - Ricky Wilson
Everything is average nowadays! Except their performance at Werchter!
Why learn that silly teenage jump-style if there is Kaiser Chiefs around?
Na-na-na-na-naah!

Bloc Party

Queens Of The Stone Age - Troy Van Leeuwen
But remember Josh Homme's quotes: "They tried to put me in rehab. But I'm bigger than Amy Winehouse." Or even better...
"If Amy Winehouse would take what I took, she'd be dead by now."

Joan As A Police Woman
Let's just say I'd love to see those handcuffs! ;-)

The Bravery
Yep, it's really brave to open at 12.30 on a Saturday morning...while Heideroosjes are playing on Main Stage...uhuh.
