EXTRA NAMES AT SINNER’S DAY
ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN replaces YELLO
THE ORB rounds off the trip
This completes the billing of the second edition of SINNER’S DAY.
YELLO (CHE) dropped out at the last minute. The Swiss band has cancelled all live dates because it wants to fully concentrate on their music and film plans. A shame, as this would have been its very first Belgian concert.
Yello will be replaced by an equally valid headliner. ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN (GB) is New Wave royalty. The British band credibly combines commercial success with an urge to innovate. In 2002, British magazine Q gave the band an Inspiration Award for its major influence on later generations. Well-known songs include ‘Rescue’, ‘The Back Of Love’, ‘The Cutter’, ‘The Killing Moon’ and ‘Seven Seas’.
The day’s concluding bands have also been determined.
• THE ORB (GB) will round off the Main Stage in style. The collective round Alex Paterson affects mind and hips and will ensure a fantastic landing.
Check out the complete line-up
• NEW: SINNER’S MAIN HALL + SINNER’S CLUB (two rooms)
• EXTRA NAMES (total: 17 bands)
• INCREASED CAPACITY (15,000 tickets)
SINNER’S DAY drew a lot of attention as a newcomer in festival land.
The formula: an indoor festival with pioneers and other greats from the world of punk and new wave.
When: All Saints’ weekend.
Where: Ethias Arena in Hasselt.
The first edition was a great success.
SINNER’S DAY united 10,000 people from 15 countries on 1 November 2009 for a strong line-up (Front 242, The Human League, Gary Numan, Anne Clark, Gang of Four, etc.)
The blackest day of the year clearly has a bright future.
SINNER’S DAY will be even greater and better this year.
• The Sinner’s Main Hall will be extended to a capacity of 15,000 spectators.
• New: the Sinner’s Club (second stage)
• The Sinner’s Café, more bars and food stands, free toilets.
• Stage, light and sound will be even more impressive.
• Everyone can walk in and out without any problem from 4 pm onwards.
The line-up will be extended to 17 names.
