Dour is definately the best festival in Belgium.
Last summer I heard Skream @ Dour, since then I listen to dubstep each and every day!!
They had their own Grime/dubstep stage last year, hope this year will be the same!!

Certianly was. Had Mary ann hobbs and coki on the overkill stage during the day on the saturday I think (loefah was meant to turn up, but...didnt) and Mala played last set of the weekend in the breaksday (was an absoloutely HUGE set btw)
A couple of others were meant to play too but when they were supposed to be on, the overkill stage was...well...a river

Yup that's the combo of dreams.
Probably hit Glade as well, it's good times when you're not drowning in mud.

Not been to Glade but done Sonar past two years and BLOC last year, quality times man...
Also for those that didnt make Dubcamp in Dumfries last year, if its on again this year, its a definite must! Beautiful national park in Dumfries, spitroast hog all you can ewat for a tenner and the Mungos system setup in the woods, was fucking brilliant...

On the subject of Sonar -
Never been before and never been to Barcelona either.
Anyone got any handy tips on where to find an apartment and the best areas of the city to get one in etc?

last year I sourced one off gumtree, cheap as fuck! was like 100 euros each, between 6 of us for like 10 days, in a nice area, L'examplie (blatant wrong spelling)...
its a shame we ended up tryign to throw socks into the skip across the street and littered car windows and roads with our mangy cotton footwear...

there was loads!!! Mudstep Massive in full effect
I had a sziget ticket last yr but couldnt take the time off in the end - my mates who went out said it was way too big and rammo for a good vibe...
not sure what the lineup is gonna be - but Rocket was good a couple yrs back - cant beat being in spain on a sunny mountain

SONAR, Bloc are unmissable and Bangface Weekender in April is shaping up nicely. Wouldn't bother with Big Chill any more I don't think, but am tempted by Bestival.
