Wim Opbrouck en Borokov (B)

Wim Opbrouck, together with Borokov, brings a musical ode to the whale, just as they did every evening at exactly 5 p.m. at Pukkelpop. It may well be the ultimate maritime hymn to everything that sails, drifts, moves and washes ashore.

The perfect opportunity to also pay tribute to that other magnificent Ostend whale, Arno Hintjes. Not a grand, large‑scale tribute concert, but four well‑chosen songs by the master to open the evening.

After that, Borokov does his thing -exuberant and anarchistic. Arno wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Rock ’n roll, goddammit!”
