Voor het derde jaar op rij wordt de Langestraat in Oostende dé plek waar new wavers en postpunk-liefhebbers uit binnen- en buitenland op het einde van de zomer samenkomen.  Vier dagen lang dansen op de beste muziek van straffe DJ’s (The Bat Collective), iets drinken en babbelen met gelijkgestemden, en dat alles in een unieke sfeer die je nergens anders vindt.
Dankzij de goeie samenwerking met de Stad Oostende kunnen wij dit gratis aanbieden, iedereen is dus welkom, enkel voor de culturele uitstappen met onze externe partners vragen we een kleine bijdrage.
