The collaboration is with Warmer People and will feature headline performances by Dr. Rubinstein and Yazzus. Other artists such as DC Salas b2b Sara Dziri, and Dour Soundsystem b2b Nathan Colinet will also be featured at the event.
Dour Festival booker Mathieu Fonsny said that the event is “important” for the festival given the UK fan base. He added that the organizers share “the same values” with Warmer People and are very pleased with their collaboration. The organizers are hoping to use music as a means to “bridge the gap” between EU and UK post-Brexit.
The General Representation of Wallonia-Brussels, UK, played a massive role in the organization of the event. Warmer People’s Thom Grant and Nathan Colinet acknowledged their participation and how it highlighted the relevance of electronic music events for Belgium.
