The second edition of FabrIQ festival will be held in Den Bosch this weekend. FabrIQ festival, also known as the festival of Intrusive Quality, focuses more on the intense and unknown music you can rarely find in the bigger pop venues. Just like last year the festival will take place at Plein79, De Verkadefabriek and the W2. Check all the info (time schedule, pre-sale info) on their blog. The upcoming days, Incubate will give you their tips.

Back in 2007 we had The Black Atlantic playing a stunning show at ZXZW 2007 and this time they will make an appearance at the FabriQ festival as well! After Geert van der Velde left the American hardcore band Shai Hulud, he wanted to go on with something completely different. This resulted in the project The Black Atlantic, a piano and acoustic guitar driven indie/folk band with beautiful double vocals in the same vein of acts like Bon Iver, Patrick Watson and Fleet Foxes. Their debut album ‘Reverence For Fallen Trees’ was released in 2009 and downloaded (for free!) close to 100.000 times already. After their first live appearance at Eurosonic in 2007, they have toured and opened all over the world for bands like Midlake, Woven Hand and The Antlers, which marks only the beginning of their success. Curious to find out what the fuzz is all about? They will play this Sunday in Verkadefabriek at FabriQ festival!
