Bunkpop 🇧🇪 & Vive la Fête, Glabbeek 🇧🇪

Bunkpop is a small pop festival in Glabbeek.

For many years now, Vive la Fête has ensured an exciting musical party on stage. Since 1997, the Belgian band of Danny Mommens (ex-bass player of dEUS) and Els Pynoo has been bringing danceable electro-rock, with a touch of kitsch and some new wave and French chanson lurking in the background.

No story needed! Once again, great show!
