On Sept 16th 1989 the first Waloon rock festival opened its gates for the first time. At that time the ambition was to put the village of Dour on the rock map.



Twenty-one years later the first Belgian festival to offer several stages and a camping site has been recognised internationally. Bands and festival goers from all over Europe gather at Dour every summer.



Dour is a festival where everybody feels close to each other and every gig is really an excuse to party. We all go to Dour to party TOGETHER and listen to exciting music.
