SOMMERLOCH, WALLERODE, BELGIUM, 15.08.2025

Come summer comes a new project, a new idea. Sommerloch is a one-day event with two stages at the beautiful Hof Gut Eidt in Wallerode, Belgium, some three kilometers from the town of Sankt Vith. The farm sports the perfect conditions for an event like this, with a big barn where concerts will be held and a beautiful meadow with beautiful old trees where we will set up a second stage. From 1999 to 2002, we curated the electronic music program for the Alive Festival right around the corner from this very location, with the then lineup featuring 808 State, A Guy Called Gerald, Speedy J, Swayzak, Robert Hood, Prefuse 73, and many more.

On the lineup for this first edition of Sommerloch will be samizdat, Chunky, Good Sad Happy Bad, Ernst Reijseger & Hans P. Kjorstad, Aylu, Jabu, Naomie Klaus, soFa, MIMI, and many more to be confirmed.

CAMPING AND ACCOMMODATION

Those who visited the Weekender Festival in 2023 might remember the farm and its beautiful location right on the Ravel bike path as one of the camping sites of the festival. Sommerloch visitors can camp for free in the field of the farm. The farm itself has showers and toilets available. Although a one-day event, people are allowed to camp for two nights. There are bed-and-breakfasts and hotels around in the neighboring town of Sankt Vith. The Sommerloch website will provide an overview of all accommodation options available.

HOW TO GET THERE

We are setting up a bus transfer from Brussels to Sommerloch after the successful bus experiment we did for our party at Open Ground in Wuppertal. Tickets for the bus are available in the webshop of the Sommerloch website. If we do not manage to fill up the bus, we reserve ourselves the right to cancel the trip. In this case, the bus fare will be transferred back without any fees or expenses. The bus will leave Brussels in the afternoon of the 15th and will drive back when the event is over, at 3 AM. Although our shuttle bus will of course be the most comfortable way to travel, for those of you taking the train, you can take the Ostend-Eupen line, get out in Eupen and there take bus 23 to Wallerode. People coming by car should take the E42 highway which passes only a few kilometers from Wallerode.

More information about Sommerloch and all practicalities is coming soon, so stay tuned! See you in deep summer!

Tara Clerkin Trio & Radio Hito

On April 15th, at the Alte Post in Sankt Vith, we are happy to present live performances by the Tara Clerkin Trio and Radio Hito, alongside a DJ-set by Pangea.

Bristol-based band Tara Clerkin Trio use looped and layered clarinet, vocals, synth and percussion, dreaming up atmospheres at times solemn, smokey and beatific. With influences from jazz, acid jazz, dub, trip-hop, psych-pop and ethereal electronica, they are one of the most exciting experimental bands around today. The musical equivalent of being in a state that is neither sleeping, nor awake, Tara Clerkin Trio work with elements both familiar and not, repeating the seemingly illogical into fragmented grooves full of dissociation and engagement. Theirs is re-contextualised pop perfection, turning the mundane on its head, finding fleeting meaning in a relentless approach to their musical means of choice. Their beautiful releases on World Of Echo and Laura Lies In are proof of just that, the dive bar made abstract.

Radio Hito is Y.-My Nguyen, born in France, who now lives and works between Brussels, Paris and Strasbourg. She trained as a printmaker, typographer and classical pianist in France, Switzerland, England and the Netherlands. Her visual and sound work revolves around the text in its different shapes and existences. Her Voce Lillà album, released on KRAAK end of last year, sees her contemplative compositions get stripped down to their bare elements. On the edge of introspection and repetition, her musical efforts brim with endless poetic possibility, in which soft-spoken melodics and harmonics lead the way, evoking vast microcosms of beauty and affect.

Pangea‘s DJing is all about the search for resonance, allowing also for philosophical, political and societal reflection. Eclectic by nature and choice, his sets touch upon electronica, hip-hop and trip-hop, industrial, rock, jazz elements and loose dub beats. He seeks harmony and disharmony in equal measure.
