The first day of the festival starts with a bang: Electrocity. It’s the first edition of this open-air party on the Kunstberg and boasts an excellent all-Belgian line-up. Dr Lectroluv will be there, as well as Sound of Stereo and The Party Harders.

You can make your way to the site right after work because the party starts at 16.00 with the electro beats of Jelly Bellies & The Klaxx. Raving George is up next, at 17.00, and you’d do well to make sure you’re there to watch this Ghent-based maestro at work. Her mottos are “unfasten your seatbelts” and “rave is the lifestyle you need”, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. DJ Tonic ( from The Subbs) will be behind the decks around 18.00, followed by Montevideo. The Party Harders from Ghent take you into the evening, followed by The Oddword ( from Antwerp) and Yves V, famous from his performances at Tomorrowland. According to Electrocity organisers, he’s a DJ you have to see at least once in your life.

Around 23.00, it will be completely dark outside for the big show of Sound of Stereo. The duo from Brussels have played parties from America to Australia and are eager to perform in their hometown. The last one to mount the stage is Dr Lektrolove, also known as the Man with the Green Mask. Top night guaranteed! Tickets are €12.25 in advance from www.sherpa.be.
