The question marks and the suddenly crystal clear. It's often the first time you think: wait a minute - maybe this is who I am, or who I want to be. This evening, four people share their personal story.

A musical end to a festival, with the mission of letting the audience go crazy one last time. With that approach, General Lodovik came up with the idea to set up a Balkan band, because there aren't that many in the Netherlands. The nine-piece band Ooostblok consists of robust cast-offs that have a few things in common: they are all friends (or family), they all come from bustling Hengelo and all have a great love for music.
