There it was already, the last day of the festival. Even though we wanted to be up later than the past days, we were early at the venue. Strange thing that you cannot sleep. Must be adrenaline and joy. Of course there were coffee, chocolate and nice people already waiting for us. Sunday started with Wave from Denmark, THE FOREIGN RESORT, and ended with AND ONE’s fluffy Synth Pop.

It was late yesterday since VNV NATION entered the stage so late at night. And it would be late as well today since one of our favourite bands of the festival, NITZER EBB, would enter the stage not before 01:20 in the morning. But after the show we all were sure: it was well worth the wait. Early at the day, SONO were another highlight and as we learned the day before: it is always good to be up early for the first bands!

Like every day, also this festival day started for us early at 11:30 with a press meeting, coffee, dark chocolate and nice chats. Good to have a relaxed start into the long day… it would be busy and exhausting enough. Friday started with TRUE ZEBRA on the Wave Cave, where VNV NATION late at night closed the day. We already knew in the morning that the day would be exhausting with so many great band. But how to fit such a great program into four days?

Mando Diao

With songs like ‘Dance with Somebody’, MANDO DIAO have impressed many fans in the last twenty years. That the Swedish band can still enthuse even after such a long time, they proved in 2017 with their eighth studio album ‘Good Times’. During their summer tour the five guys made a little stop in Luxembourg.

This year’s W-Festival was held in the EXPO Waregem and many felt at the beginning of the weekend that the charm of the festival, where the concerts took place in big circus tents before, had evaporated and dissatisfaction was spreading. At the end of the festival, there were hardly any voices that spoke out against the move anymore. People just need to be convinced!
