Rock Werchter 2009, a BiB overview
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, Music News, Music Video on July 8th, 2009
The first weekend of summer vacation in Belgium is traditionally the Rock Werchter weekend. Rock Werchter is the biggest and best known summer festival we have in Belgium and it was voted Best Music Festival in the World four times over the last five years.
And it was a hot edition this year. While temperatures reached tropical hights, one great band after the other performed on the famous Werchter stages. Of course there was also room for some of Belgium’s best bands: Arsenal, Triggerfinger, Jasper Erkens, 2ManyDJs, The Hickey Underworld, Lady Linn & Her Magnificent Seven, Ghinzu and (really? no really?) Milk Inc.
If you missed it, don’t panic, there’s always YouTube. Below a short overview of the best Belgian band movies we could find so far.
Arsenal (Lotuk):
Triggerfinger (performing live on guitar and bike!):
Jasper Erkens (Everybody Is The Same):
2ManyDJs:
The Hickey Underworld:
Lady Linn & Her Magnificent Seven (I Don’t Wanna Dance):
Ghinzu (Kill The Surfers):
Milk Inc. (a non-conventional choice, a big gamble, but apparently also a big success):
The big Werchter Whirlwind (strange image, a whirlwind over the festival terrain. A few people were wounded):

Enjoy a live version (with just one of her magnificent seven) from the Canvas show Lux:
Who needs Amy Winehouse when we have our own Lady Linn in Belgium?
