SINNER’S DAY drew a lot of attention as a newcomer in festival land. The formula: an indoor festival with pioneers and other greats from the world of punk and new wave.When: All Saints’ weekend.
Where: Ethias Arena in Hasselt.
The first edition was a great success.
SINNER’S DAY united 10,000 people from 15 countries on 1 November 2009 for a strong line-up (Front 242, The Human League, Gary Numan, Anne Clark, Gang of Four, etc.) The blackest day of the year clearly has a bright future.
