New Pornos, Battles, Goldfrapp, Ice Cube Do Dour Fest
Yes, the name's just a bit more off-putting to we English-speaking types than, say, the Fun Fun Fun Fest. Still, the 20th annual Dour Festival belies all connotations but one: it'll go down July 17-20 in Dour, Belgium.
And if this lineup doesn't sound like a blast, well, you're dour enough without it. Joining Dour for the the big 2-0 are the New Pornographers, Battles, Goldfrapp, Ice Cube, Pinback, the Fall, the Raveonettes, Ellen Allien, the Notwist, Why?, Enon, Foals, the Meat Puppets, Modeselektor, Bonde do Role, SebastiAn, Fujiya & Mijaygi, Miracle Fortress, Mystery Jets, Oxbow, Subtle, the Glimmers, Shout Out Louds, Boys Noize, Earth, Future of the Left, the Teenagers, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Do Make Say Think, Gogol Bordello, Men (the Le Tigre spin off) doing a DJ set, the Whitest Boy Alive, Tiga, Lady Saw, Heavy Trash, Alter Ego, the Enemy, the (International) Noise Conspiracy, and many many more.
See? Plenty of reasons to be Dour, grinning all the while.
