Summer Bummer is celebrating its festive 10th edition with an extra festival day. In addition to challenging concerts, for which the young curators of Oei! are contributing input for the first time, there is also an expo with the graphic work of the past 10 editions, a third festival magazine, with interviews and a handy timetable, the record fair, which has become a tradition, the catered stand with homemade slow food: rich flavors and pure ingredients that are lovingly and carefully prepared by the Summer Bummer crew, and of course there’s the mobile squad of Radio Centraal that provide the festival three days of live coverage.
