Pukkelpop 2006







To close this years summerfestivalseason i choose to go to pukkelpop. Pukkel is a zit , so it’s something like the zit festival. Sounds strange , i know but at the end i go for the music. Well the name says it all. There were enough boys and girls that could have been my kids. It makes me feel a bit old, but i’m stil a hardcore festivalfan. Although i guess the people weren’t prepared for a bunch of thirty year olds , with a fresh wage on their bankaccount and a strong desire to party. We were lucky to go with the van of Joske , so we had a hotel on wheels. We found a nice and quiet campingspot , a bit illegal but hey there’s 45000 people so the police would have other things to do than thowing the van. We stayed there the whole three days on the same spot. The police wasn’t ok with it but it all turned out just fine. Next time you see me in person , ask me to tell you the whole story. Funny. This time it wasn’t allowed to take your own drinks inside, i don’t like that, this obligation to consume their drinks and pay 2 euros for a beer or a glass of mineral water. Shame on them. We took everything along anyway, so we didn’t spend an awfull lot on beer. Nice way to go.


It was very busy cause there were to many bands to see and i tried to see everything that i wanted to see, and i managed to do so. In between the smoking and drinking i was satisfied about the music and enjoyed a lot of bands.


Nice closing of the festivalseason.

La session de clausura de este temporada de festivales he cerado con pukkelpop. Pukkel significa grano (los de la cara) se traduceria commo el pop de los granos ( los de la cara). Seuna chungo, lo sé ,pero al final estoy alli por la musica. Todo esta en el nombre ,habian bastante niñ@s de los quales podria ser el papi. Me hace sentir viejo , pero sigo siendo un hardcore festivalero. Pienso que la gente alli no estaban preparado para una banda de treinta-añeros que acababan de cobrar y con unas ganas de fiesta. Teniamos suerte que hemos podido ir en la furgoneta de Joske , teniamos un hotel sobre reudas. Hemos encontrado un sitio tranquilo para acampar, un poco ilegal pero habian 45000 personas asi que la policia tendria otras cosas que hacer que llamar la grua. Aunque a la policia lno les gustaba que estubumos alli , nos hemos quedado tres dias.La proxima vez que nos vemos en persona pide me que os cuento la historia completa. Que te cagas de absurdo. Esta vez no podiamos llevar bebidas a dentro, no me gusta que te obligan pagar 2 euros para una cerveza o un vaso de agua mineral. Shame on ellos. De todas formas hemos colado todo asi que no hemos gastado una fortuna alli dentro. He estado muy ocupado porque habian demasiados grupos para ojear y escuchar , y he conseguido de ver lo que queria ver. Entre todo el fumar y beber estaba muy satisfecho de la musica y he disfrutado de muchos grupos.



Una clausura de putissima madre.
