2017
- The 9th edition of FAW was once again filled with sparkling music performances and intriguing cultural acts. The cheerful tunes of Wakki and Dr Justice & The Smooth Operators got everyone’s feet off the ground in both the ‘Jachthuis’ and the ‘Muziekfabriek’. The somewhat more alternative performances, such as Knarsetand and The Silverfaces, also burst with energy. There were also moments of rest with the refined cultural performances of Maartje & Kine and Isabel Nolte, this time in the Schietheater, which was filled to the brim. The festival came to an end with DJ performances by both home-grown artists and national talents such as Geck-o and OIJ.
