Dour Festival update: Explosions have us in Raptures...
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver March 28th, 2007

The DiS-associated Dour Festival - if you've missed the first few detail-riddled articles, click here - has announced a batch of newly confirmed bands. And we're all like wow and stuff.

Because Explosions In The Sky are playing! The same festival as Converge! My ears, they swim in liquid ecstasy.

New announcements as follows:

The Rapture
Explosions In The Sky

Sick Of It All
Brujeria
The Congos

High Tone
Improvisators Dub
dDamage feat. Existereo

Skream

The Dour Festival runs from July 12-15 in Dour, Belgium, near the French border. Other acts (already confirmed) include Erase Errata, The Notwist, The Cinematic Orchestra and, yes, Converge. For way more information, click here.
