         <description><![CDATA[<div class="bbcode"><h3>Hello everybody,</h3><br /><br /><img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/eco2/IMG_6705.jpg" /> <br /><br /><br /><h3><strong>GO GREEN WITH THE DOUR FESTIVAL</strong></h3> <img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/eco2/IMG_2060.jpg" /><br /><br />Like every summer, The Dour Festival commits itself to respect and protect its environment and give you the tools to do the same at your personal level. In 2009 we will give you more tools to keep the site cleaner and more comfortable to live in for you. As promoters we feel concerned by the issue, as festival goer, do you? You certainly should!<br /><br /><br /><h4><strong>There are 3 clever and easy steps this year</strong></h4><br /><br />    * Thanks to our partner <strong>Fost plus</strong> we implement the site with waste sorting islands: The Eco-Zones. They will be all over the festival and camping sites to help you sort your waste. Each type of rubbish has its own coloured bin: <strong>BLUE</strong> for cans &amp; plastics \\ <strong>BLACK</strong> for other waste. There is only one rule for you: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">respect the sorting colours!</span><br /><img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/2009haut/NielsIMG_9950.jpg" /><br /><br />    * You can get an extra bonus for having a conscience: The ECO CHANGE. Bring back 40 plastic cups or a 30L bin bag full of cans &amp; plastics at the Eco-Change zone situated at each bar on the site and you'll be rewarded with a free drink ticket! How's that for a good deal? You keep the environment clean, it doesn't cost you anything yet you get a little extra for your involvement.<br /><img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/eco2/IMG_7479.jpg" /><br /><br />    * You can lower your carbon footprint by choosing public transports to go to the festival. Another green way to travel is choosing the car pooling option. Dour Festival and Karzoo are working together every summer to ensure that a minimum of cars are used to come to Dour, therefore lowering the carbon emissions. You can offer seats in your vehicule or find some nice chaps to travel with in a couple of simple clicks. Cheap, easy and green, what more do you need?<br /><img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/eco/1-en.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><h4><strong>Dour Festival does more for the environment</strong></h4><br />A green contract has been signed by the promoters and all the professionals and tradesmen linked to the festival.<br /><br />A GREEN CROSS team is on site to ensure a spotless environment for all. Don't hesitate to give them a hand!<br /><img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/eco2/IMG_0573.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />Bin Bags [ blue or black] are handed out for FREE by Green Cross volunteers in our Eco Change zones situated in each bar. Never hesitate to ask them what you need.<br /><br />All the sorting rules are on our website and will be at various eco-zones to remind you how to sort your waste properly.<br /><br />You are the ones who make the festival a good event or not, this at all levels so please think about your behaviour<br /><br />    * Don't just drop your trash on the ground<br />    * Don't leave waste behind you<br />    * Use the bins scattered across the site or the bin bags left for your perusal<br /><br />Help us keep our environment as clean and undamaged as possible. We are very grateful!<br /><br />More info: <a href="http://www.dourfestival.be/en/2009/eco" rel="nofollow">http://www.dourfestival.be/en/2009/eco</a><br /><br /><img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/eco2/IMG_5379.jpg" /><br /><br />If you want more information about the festival, the bands, the tickets, check <a href="http://www.dourfestival.be" rel="nofollow">www.dourfestival.be</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div class="bbcode">Hello everybody,<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/2009haut/KevinIMG_6939.jpg" /><br /><br />The next Dour Festival is getting closer every day. In a month about 36.000 people will gather in Dour to take part in one hell of a party. Those who miss out will spend another year wondering why they didn't make it!<br /><br /><strong>THERE ARE 4-DAY PASSES and 1-DAY PASSES LEFT</strong><br />First of all we would like to thank you for all your message, sounds like you enjoy the line-up and it fills us with pleasure and pride!<br /><br />This is translated in the ticket sales which are up 10% compared to this time last year. The festival site is huge and we always try to find ways to make it bigger so you can all have the space to breathe but we will not accept more people than planned even if it means leaving quite a few of you on the curb. So we would like to advise you to get your tickets asap if you don't want to regret missing out on this year's festival.<br /><br /><strong>ATTENTION</strong>: credit crunch or not the Dour Festival is affordable to all: 85 Euros for 4 days or 40 Euros per day. For your money you get 6 stages, 200 bands and loads of good music. Don't wait until it's too late!<br /><br /><strong>DOUR FESTIVAL AS SEEN BY LES INROCKS</strong><br />French Music Bible Les Inrockuptibles have this to say about Dour: &quot; If you can't find any music that makes you happy at Dour, you're either dead or deaf&quot;<br />That says it all!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dourfestival.be/images/hearen.jpg" /> <strong>DOUR FESTIVAL CARES ABOUT YOUR HEARING</strong> [Especially if you want to come to the festival for many years to come]<br />The info centre DEXIA will be handing out FREE earplugs [from leading brand BLOX] for your comfort. If you're afraid to loose some sound quality head to your nearest pharmacist. Blox have created special earplugs targeted to festivals.<br />You can fully enjoy the music without loosing your hearing.<br /><br />More info: <a href="http://www.blox.info" rel="nofollow">www.blox.info</a><br /><br /><br /><strong>6 EXTRA BANDS CONFIRMED AND 2 CHANGES IN THE LINE-UP</strong><br /><br />    * You know us, we always have one extra trick up our sleeves and today we're happy to let you know that both <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Debout+sur+le+zinc" class="bbcode_artist">Debout sur le zinc</a>, <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Marnie+Stern" class="bbcode_artist">Marnie Stern</a> and <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/The+Bewitched+Hands+On+The+Top+Of+Our+Heads" class="bbcode_artist">The Bewitched Hands On The Top Of Our Heads</a> have been added to the bill.<br />    * We've checked our partner VI.be's website and found 2 flemish bands that have everything going for them and we're happy to add them to our line-up: <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Drums+Are+for+Parades" class="bbcode_artist">Drums Are for Parades</a> and <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Sound+of+Stereo" class="bbcode_artist">Sound of Stereo</a>.<br />    * The Dour Festival likes to encourage local talents and this year we're proud to welcome <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Milk" class="bbcode_artist">Milk</a> to the festival.<br />    * Sebastien Tellier's backing band won't be around in July. He therefore had to cancel his summer tour but we are looking for a suitable replacement.<br />    * Rapper Hamé won't be able to join Zone Libre and Casey on stage but another rapper will make it instead.<br /><br /><br /><br />If you want more information about the festival, the bands, the tickets, check <a href="http://www.dourfestival.be" rel="nofollow">www.dourfestival.be</a></div>]]></description>
