Are you a musician, band, producer or something somewhere in-between? Then you should keep Saturday 19 November free of other obligations as that is when Poppunt, together with Ancienne Belgique, again organises the high mass for those occupied by music: Muzikantendag!
It will be the tenth edition, a good reason to fatten up the programme with a few juicy extras. There are more than 50 activities all on 1 day: demo feedback; info sessions; drums, keys, bass and guitar guidance; customised advice; Boss loop station contest; guitar, drum and stage doctor; Fnac Fotoshoot; etc. What's more, the Playground (music exchange) will be enlarged so that you get even more opportunity than in the past to twiddle with dials mess and around with new gear yourself, and to shoot all your questions at the experts directly. This year we welcome partners like Amptec, Avid, Bose, Media Satellite, MWorks, Roland, SAE, Sennheiser, Sonic 8, Steinberg, Variphone, Yamaha,...
Take into account that for some activities you will have to register in advance - all info about that and about the practical details of the programme is to be found on www.muzikantendag.be.

At this concert there will be a collection appeal by Rock Bujumbura! Rock Bujumbura is gathering guitars, drum kits, keyboards, PA's, amps, effect pedals, etc. in order to realise the dream of kids in Burundi: to establish their own band. The first ten people to bring in an instrument on the night of the concert will receive 5 drink tokens!
