7TH EDITION OF WECANDANCE KICKS OFF WITH 3.000 SAFARI NOMADS

On the first day of its three-day expedition in the wild, WECANDANCE welcomed a tribe of 3.000 safari nomads to discover the savanna of Zeebruges. It was the first time that the festival opened its doors on Friday. By completely selling out the first and second day, the boutique festival already broke its record at the beginning of the week-end.

WECANDANCE is determined to make its 7th edition the most memorable yet. On the first day, a selection of outstanding performances was served on 2 stages. One of the absolute highlights was the Gardens of Babylon live stage. As from tomorrow, the festival also paves the way for one extra live stage, which brings the total to six stages exploring hip hop, techno, house & disco, all-round, slow dance and live music.  

Wild hearts, wild fashion

The festival takes its inspiration from the runway to come up with a specific theme. This year, the festival crowd was encouraged to release their wildest spirits, by indulging themselves completely into the safari spirits. The result? A true jungle atmosphere on the beach of Zeebruges, with all shades of beige and khaki one can think of.

Food hunt in the jungle

Next to music and fashion, food remains one of the main ingredients of the unique festival experience that is WECANDANCE. This year is no different: the Food Market and plant-based corner still have a prominent role. AirCafé makes his entrance, and will be the ultimate meeting point for quality comfort food. Next to that, the organization immersed itself into the farm-to-table movement, which offers an exquisite and even more refined food experience that is at the same time very sustainable and supports local farmers.

Journey continues on Saturday and Sunday

With a completely sold out Friday and Saturday, things are looking very good for the rest of the week-end, and so is the weather. With Sunday and combi ticket sales going through the roof, it’s the last chance to join in and take a walk on the wild side. All information available at www.wecandance.be.

About WECANDANCE

ABOUT

WECANDANCE offers a premium beach boutique festival experience in an innovative setting, combining different lifestyle elements such as music, food, fashion and art. The festival aims to achieve that through collaborations with the right communities and partners, but also with both quality underground and more accessible music, atypical festival food and a strong eye for artistic detail, brought to you with a cutting-edge layer. Unconventionality and innovation form the triggers and tools that keep the festival fresh and on point.

#WECANDANCE

WECANDANCE likes to dig into the underground music scene to provide that raw vibe with a touch of finesse. Five stages translate five different genres, each and every one with a mix of the best homegrown and international talent. They all bring the sound of today as well as the sound of tomorrow, something WECANDANCE can vouch for.

#WECANTASTE

WECANDANCE approaches food on a different level. Their Food Market, the beating heart of the festival, offers an opportunity to eat on site, but is also an asset to attract early visitors. Since their very first edition, the festival chooses to work with multiple renowned Belgian restaurants and chefs that offer a variety of dishes. Each and everyone of them also creates a signature WECANDANCE dish to pamper our visitors’ taste buds.

The festival also likes to contribute to keeping the ecological footprint as small as possible. Using organic products and disposable tableware brings them one step closer to that goal.

#WECANDRESS

WECANDANCE is undeniably linked to apparel, which ensures a cool but more feminine touch. With that asset, they aim to continue a conversation that started at the foundation of this premium boutique festival. To give it that something extra, the festival drowns itself in a theme for the summer, creating a scene that lives not only within the festival walls.

They do not only focus on offering an inspirational platform, but also invest in a limited capsule collection of their own, created by several brands and Belgian designers.

#WECANCREATE

A fourth corner stone was added to the festival since their fourth edition in 2016. WECANDANCE invites different artists to create a bespoke installation that triggers our visitors to stop and think for a moment. By integrating art into our festival, we aim to bring a variety of creative disciplines closer to the people.
