After a long hiatus, The Sonics return to Belgium for this year's Dour. The Sonics are 60s music at its best: arrogant, lovestruck, hormone-fuelled, danceable American rock and roll. A raw screeched voice and an even rawer recording style, The Sonics became the archetype of American rock between 1964-8. The Sonics appearance at Dour will take you back to a golden era of music.
