The basics

Exotic times in Belgium, as Snoop Dogg, Lauren Hill and Flume stand out in eclectic line up. 

The festival

There's nothing dour about this festival. We know we already said that but there aren't many times in life when you can make a play on words out of the word dour. Sourdour bread? See, it's fucking impossible. 

Anyhoo, Dour, a small town in French speaking Belgium has been going strong for twenty six years and shows no signs of slowing down. A huge cultural event in the region, Dour promises a whopping line up for nearly 200,000 music lovers. And Belgian beer is just lovely. Music! beer! Festivals! Belgium! 

Our tip

Techno lovers beware: Carl Craig's bringing Motor City to Dour, and it's not to be missed.

Getting there

How do I get there?

The website provides a nifty little rundown of accessibility from various cities, including London. Dour is in the south-east of Belgium, and Belgium is tiny, so you don't really have an excuse for not going. 

 

By Bus

You can buy your Official weekend festival ticket with camping together with your travel from Planet Festival or from the ticketshop.
