Pictures of the first day.

Aalborg, here we go!

Looking forward to next weekend, 18th and 19th April, where we will be doing a circuit bending masterclass at MGK Nord i Aalborg, Denmark. Bringing chaos to the coming conservatory students.

The schedule for Saturday's festival is online. The performances will follow the Earth's rotation, starting in Scandinavia. Which means that the three Danish acts will take place between 16:00 and 17:00 CET.
But please stay around for the full schedule.
The festival runs for 10 hours and then the stream repeats one more time.
Respect to Echo Lightwave Unspeakable for setting this grand event up!
