Hi Lowlanders,

I’m Stephan and I know Lowlands since 1994. I’ve been there 8 years in a row, but missed it since 2001. 2009 is going to be my comeback!
I discovered this festival in 1993, the first edition. I didn’t went because I didn’t want to go alone.
A year later I had a summer of festivals. It started on the first friday of May at the Moulin Blues festival in Ospel, NL and I chose A Campingflight To Lowlands Paradise as the end of my tour.
As a built up to one of the best festivals I ever visited, I’m going to tell you the history of this massive event. It will be a mix of facts and personal memories.
As we creeping closer to L-Day at 21 August, I would give my comments on the line-up; as would I give you some names I would like to see there.
I will leave you with the reason why I din’t attend it for 8 years:
Lowlands was for me the breedingpond for new music & arts. It was all about discovering & enyoing. As the fesitval went bigger and bigger; the names became bigger and there was less room for new artists. Also the height of a near 70,000 people was too much…They hit the roof and after 2001 there was a set back of visitors, now slowly building up again to be a sold-out event.
When you’re reading my up-coming posts then you’ll understand all of this
