Rock Werchter Festival, Werchter, Belgium

I only saw Garbage and 2 and a half tracks of The Cure who were quite possibly the most boring band I’ve ever seen. Jan and I had planned to go even before Garbage were confirmed as we both love … Continue reading

Hevy Festival, Folkestone Sea Front, Folkestone
