Haagse Courant on Walk the Line
19-05-2011
Variation characterized the second edition of the Walk the Line festival, held on Friday and Saturday in the city centre of The Hague. From quit folk songs to British rock in the Paard. The festival’s atmosphere, which was held in Paard van Troje, pop temple Supermarkt, The Nutshuis and the Zwarte Ruiter and Rootz cafés, is best compared to Eurosonic in Groningen. A very diverse audience, with festival booklet in hand, walking from one new discovery into the other.
LiveXS quote
19-05-2011
"Smiling faces all around, during Walk the Line 2011 this weekend in The Hague. The festival was a great success. Needless to say, LiveXS popmagazine was there and has lined up a few of the highlights for you. From danceable indie hits with the Crystal Fighters to melancholic notes by singer songwriter Jonathan Jeremiah." LiveXS

WTL Festival beleefde een geslaagd debuut
18-05-2010
“Met ruim veertig groepen en artiesten verdeeld over twee avonden en vijf podia beleefde het Walk The Line Festival een geslaagd debuut. (...) Met een programma zonder headliners en met overwegend onbekende en/of nieuwe bandjes gokte Louis en Michel Behre op de avonturiersgeest van een publiek dat zich wil laten verrassen. Die gok pakte verbluffend goed uit.” AD Haagse Courant 17 mei 2010
