All front yards and gardens look like they're straight from Desperate Housewives, everything looks perfect, as if dozens of gardeners are employed on a daily basis on each street.

The first thing you notice upon arrival is the picturesque scenery of a small Belgian village, Meerhout.

If you wanna skip the part where I'll just blabber on about how the festival looks and feels like, you can scroll straight down to the reviews further down this page. Yeah, I can imagine your drooly lips already, so lets get to the point, shall we, and introduce how the festival looks to someone with plenty of experience from other festivals across the continent. and countless other awesome names on the bill, Groezrock always takes home the prize for the best punk, hardcore & scene lineup year after year. Rock Am Ring may take the yearly prize for having the biggest names, but with names like NOFX, Rise Against, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, UnderOATH, Comeback Kid, Darkest Hour, The Academy Is. Some people have gone even as far as calling it the Warped Tour of Europe, such is the concentration of amazing bands this festival boasts of each year. All of us were visibly excited despite the lengthy 1040km of driving ahead of us, but who wouldn't be? Groezrock is pretty much the who's who festival of punk rock and hardcore. Obviously learning nothing from our Rock Am Ring experience last summer, the entourage comprising of PP, TL, AP & photographer Jill (and faithful fanboy Anders) left Denmark the night before the festival at 11pm, driving through the night on the German Autobahn with Belgium's Meerhout and Groezrock as our goal.
