It’s new! It’s hot! It’s 80ties! It’s new wave! It’s yours! This new Festival in Belgium offers some great 80s bands you rarely see live on the same stage. THE SERIOUS FIVE will open the festival. We'd like to think of THE SERIOUS FIVE as the Belgian FAD GADGET. The group was discovered during the “Gentse feesten” early 90ties and experienced a successful period of many years. Today, years later, they resurface with a new EP. They have chosen the W-Festival as the launch moment of that EP.

Damien Rice, Hanna Leess

Concerts of DAMIEN RICE are something very special. Sounds like an empty phrase, but it isn’t. His melancholic song meditations, his guitar play, his unique voice, his poetic and heart-warming lyrics and his devoted fans make an evening with him a mass for the pure and sheer power of song writing. After an exclusive Berlin show for the release of his last album ‘My Favourite Faded Fantasy’ and some selected German shows last year, the Irishman comes back to Germany for three open air shows.

Waldbühne at the Hermannsdenkmal, Detmold, Germany
2nd July 2016
Owls'n'Bats Festival with Black Nail Cabaret, Saigon Blue Rain, Then Comes Silence, Escape with Romeo, Clan of Xymox

Summer - it's a time that creatures of darkness prefer to spent in the shade. On a special day, though, such as July 2, we like to get out, leave our caves and coffins, and do a pilgrimage to special locations, like the Waldbühne at the monument called Hermannsdenkmal in Detmold, Germany, located in the midst of nature. What for? Of course to join in the wonderful Owls'n'Bats open air festival, which enriches the dark scene since 2014, for a truly “black celebration” in the woods of the Teutoburg Forest. This year's line-up once again sounds very promising: We'll be bewitched by BLACK NAIL CABARET, SAIGON BLUE RAIN, THEN COMES SILENCE, ESCAPE WITH ROMEO, and CLAN OF XYMOX. The Owls'n'Bats a must go for everybody into Dark Electro and Electronica, Indie, Shoegaze, Gothic Metal, Darkwave, Goth Pop, Post Punk, Alternative Rock and Gothic Rock!
