5 Days Off is a 5 day indoor festival in Paradiso and Melkweg. It features a wide range of artists varying from Koze to De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig. I went to the Thursday night in the Melkweg, featuring Ellen Allien, Joris Voorn, Koze, Stephan Bennemann, Isolee and John Roberts.

I came in after midnight and was a bit surprised it wasn’t full in the main hall, the old room was even more empty, but enough people to make a nice party…

Ellen played a very nice set, people were dancing non-stop and with kick ass visuals of Pfadfinderei the picture was complete. Joris topped of her set with some power. Unfortunately Koze was losing people in the backroom, but his style of playing just isn’t for everyone… Next year I’ll do all 5 days…
