Gigs weekly: Explosive music

It has been quiet around het, this is because besides blogging I am also an entrepreneur. And sometimes as a company owner you make long days. Which left me with not energy to blog. I know it is sad, but we are working on so many awesome things, we will be renovating the building we bought two years ago. We have other interesting developments going on as well, which I might tell you about if it will interest you.


Then there were some family issues getting in the way of things, which absorbed the last bit of energy I had left. I have had a bit of a rough time, but I would like to look forward, to brighter things ahead.


The concert season for example, is in full swing and this week has some exciting things going for it.

So lets see what the week of the 10th up to the 16th of oktober 2022 has to offer.



Wednesday 12 October 2022: Three Days Grace - 013, Tilburg

Who remembers "I Hate Everything About You"? I surely do, it is one of my go to songs for when I am really pissed of at someone. Nothing makes you feel better than shouting does words at the wall and anybody who might be listening. In the Netherlands I think this was their biggest hit. But for me it did not end there, allthough I must say it did end at the second album for me. I am not all to familiar of what came after. Songs like Pain, Never Too Late and Animal I have become, can be found in various of my playlist. I just like their sound, it is rough, loud and for me a pick me up when I am feeling down. This year they released a new album called EXPLOSIONS. I have yet to dive into this one, I will let you know what my thoughts will be. If I am telling you something new, and you want to go, you still can! There are some tickets left for this show! The link in the title will bring you to the ticket page.



Thursday 13 October 2022: Kasabian - AFAS Live, Amsterdam

Recently I wrote a review on their newest album, The Alchemist's Euphoria. I might have been a bit of a critic on this album but overal it is still good. It is not their best work in my opinion, and has a lot of ups and downs. Fortunately this will not matter when you visit their concert, as they have a stellar live performance or so I have been told. It wil certainly be a good show, and you can of course still get tickets, link is in the title!



Iceland is know for its great performers, think of artists like Of Monsters and Men and Ásgier. The Vintage Caravan makes the most amazing music, which lies somewhere between classic and psychedelic rock. Extraordinary vocals and guitar riffs that remind you of those of Led Zeppelin. These guys know how to rock and that is why the boyfriend and I are going to Sneek to see them play. It will be the first time we will visit Het Bolwerk so I am excited.




Friday 14 October until Sunday 16 October 2022: Desertfest - Trix, Antwerp

For this weeks highlight we travel south to Belgium, to Antwerp to be exact. For this weekend, the Trix will be the centre for everything heavy, psychedelic and doom. This three day festival is for the lovers of these genre the festival to go to. And the headliners established names in the genre.


I would have loved to go this weekend but unfortunately there is work to be done, and no room in our busy agenda's. But I did want to tell you about it because bands like Red Fang, The Necromancers and Naxatras, are still on my to watch list. All of these are scheduled for the Saturday. Which makes the Saturday to me the most interesting day.


I am a fairly new listener in the genres, so I don't know all the big bands yet. I know Elder belongs to them aI have yet to do a deep dive into their music. There is overall a lot of interesting bands to check, for example Gnome, Wolves In The Throne Room and Alunah sound interesting.

I will definitely put this festival in the agenda for next year, hopefully we can then take time out of our busy schedules to enjoy a weekend in Antwerp. Just to two us us, and I know the boyfriend will definitely enjoy the music then as it is his favorite genre.


I wil leave it at that, go check the line up and tickets at Desertfest.be. What are you going to see this week? Let me know in the comments! I just want to share one more thing because when we were checking the line up we watched this video of Gnome, and it made me smile, I hope you will enjoy it too!
