Friends, bands and good vibes, is what basically summarizes Groezrock every single year. And the good vibes often cause me to miss a bunch of bands that were highlighted on my time schedule.

I think that most hardcore kids can agree that this year’s line-up wasn’t nearly as good as the one from 2013 or 2014. However, I’ve come to know Ieperfest as a more-than-music-festival, and that’s exactly what I enjoy most about it.

Ieperfest‘s summer edition will take place on August 14, 15 and 16 this year. Besides announcing the first 29 names today, the organization had some wonderful news: “We will be kicking off later than we used to.

Due to a few cancellations Northcote 2015 started 15 minutes later than planned. Cold Mind became the new opener. Their vocalist seemed to have had a rough Saturday night as he struggled through their set which, don’t get me wrong, was pretty decent. For the crowd it was a Sunday afternoon too.
