so the purpose of this post is just to make everyone jealous of all the awesome bands i saw at Pukkelpop in Hasselt, Belgium. I had the most amazing time there camping over 5 days (3 days/nights of concerts). I was going to give a detailed post of it, but it would take me 10 pages. So I'm gonna cut it short and tell you who I saw (3/4- full sets). I've always wanted to go to one of them and ive done it! I really want to write lots and lots about it but I'm lazy. Lets just say i was in the FRONT ROW of the most important shows. (Beck, Radiohead, B&S, Twilight Singers, Feeder, etc etc). And that I didnt enjoy Radiohead at all.. missed TIGA because of them and it was so boring and I almost fell asleep.
