Lastly, Dour wouldn’t be Dour without the crazy jumping crowds! This will be the job of Crystal Castles, DIE ANTWOORD and Big Freedia, amongst others. In 2017, Dour will undoubtedly compete with the biggest European festivals as Phoenix, Goldie, The Kills, Pusha T, Two Door Cinema Club and Metronomy were already previously announced.
Those new names are only some of the 136 artists that are actually confirmed and guess what? It’s not over yet! #DOUR2017
