Hi,
Here some more information, hopefully that is helpfull:
- Sjiwa, the venue, has a capacity of 700 people
- in between the bands we have about 30 minutes break, bands play between 1 and 2 hours
- there are no seats, only in the basement of the venue to relax
- there is no age limit
- we have a merchandise area, in the venue and a second basement
- we have a diner-break of 1 hour after 3 bands
- many of the bands and fans stay at Castle de Berckt, a perfect location to stay the entire weekend
Overall you cannot compare it with the event in the USA, or with any other event, we have created a quite unique atmosphere, the most important reason for people to come back every year. The line-up always offers some know bands, but we will not skip our policy to give upcoming bands a chance to play for a bigger audience. I think I can say that we are a non-commercial festival and just try to offer some quality bands, known and unknown.
If you have any further questions feel free to ask me personally,

Greetings,
Rene Janssen
