Liepajas Fontaine Festival 2012

2012-08-10 - 2012-08-12
Fontaine Palace
Fontaine Festival in Liepāja – these are three loud days in the company of rock music and lots of admirers of rock music. Pleasant, a little crazy entertainment where rock music is not forbidden.

Artists

Louie Fontaine, ideological father of the Fontaine Festival, has always directed this event towards rock music and underground culture. Therefore artists and bands that perform in the festival are not always well known to wider public. But it does not mean that they are boring or unnoticeable. Not at all! Fontaine Festival is famous for boisterous and musically impressive bands that will be interesting not only to admirers of rock music.

Atmosphere

Though Fontaine Festival is explicit rock and heavy music festival, its visitors are very friendly. The event passes by listening to rock music, drinking beer, and, of course, jumping to the sounds of guitar music at the stage time after time. The atmosphere is very free and relaxed.
