More than 36.000 Safari Nomads joined the 7th edition of WECANDANCE

Three days of sand, sahara & safari on the beach of Zeebruges

August 11, 2019

After a successful two days with more than 21.000 visitors, WECANDANCE festival went out with a bang today and welcomed another 15.000 party goers on the beach of Zeebruges to dance in true safari nomad style. The first two days were completely sold-out and by the end of Sunday most tickets flew out the door as well. With a total of  more than 36.000 visitors, the three-day expedition in the wild was the most successful edition of the boutique festival to date.

Three days of riding on a storm

The 7th edition of the electronic beach festival was definitely better than one could have ever expected. Thousands of Safari Nomads came to experience the high-quality music, delicious food and all the other incredible surprises that WECANDANCE had in store. The heavy wind that threatened to throw a spanner in the works at first, eventually turned the beach into a real sahara, creating the perfect setting for our riders on a sand storm. 

Musical highlights

Once again, there were quite some musical highlights in many different styles, like the sets from John Noseda and Damian Lazarus. Charlotte Adigéry made the public go crazy to funky animalistic beats, while Sylvie Kreusch took the party goers along on a mystical trip with her live performance. Eagle made the Thillers stage go wild. And the man with the hat, Kölsch, surpassed all the crowd’s expectations and closed the festival with a unique 3 hour set.

Countdown to next edition

The 8th edition of WECANDANCE festival will take place on August 7th, 8th & 9th 2020. A new theme will be announced around March. For regular updates, keep an eye on the website: 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.
