THE TEAM

The dunk!team consists completely out of volunteers who are just in this for the love for music and the fun of organizing this festival. This team, who is working through the year to set up this festival, is all family and long time friends. And all of our volunteers are looking forward to that one weekend in spring where they can welcome you post-rock lovers from all over the world and offer you a cold beer, have a chat and enjoy the music.

WHAT WE DO

Our most important project is of course the festival. We work through the year to spot and book bands, search for the best sound & light partners, optimize every little aspect of the festival... We strive to offer a surprising line-up on four highly professional stages with the best sound and light set-up we can get. Besides that we also make sure our visitors can enjoy a cold Belgian beer, served by our amazing volunteers. De Vooruit is also a restaurant through the year and of course the professional kitchen team will offer their tasty menu to our festival crowd in the central restaurant/bar area.

In 2017 there were two editions of the festival. The one in Belgium and a brand new US edition in Burlington, Vermont. The US edition is now on hold but be sure we’ll do everything we can support the US based post-rock scene. Our continued partnership with A Thousand Arms and Young Epoch for example.

Unfortunately the 2020 and 2021 editions got cancelled but in 2021 we invited a selection of bands to perform in our pop-up television studio to broadcast an online festival edition.

Besides offering a stage we also support a small selection of bands in releasing their albums. Since 2011 the label releases 10 to 20 albums a year on vinyl. Since 2018 we press our own vinyls with dunk!pressing. Of course high quality is extremely important in this project. Vinyl is always pressed on heavy 180g vinyl and most albums have upgraded cardboard covers. Check all dunk!releases here. If you are interested to have your music pressed on vinyl by dunk!pressing, we are here to help.
