The basics
Spikey fun in a flat land.
The festival
Ouch! Damn, that's good music. Yes, Cactus festival is a celebration of music, not cactususeses(es). Which is a good thing, because cactususesi are crap. You know most of them don't even have drinkable water? So if you're stuck in the desert, you're screwed. Absolutely rubbish. Luckily, the festival is much better.
Located in the lovely Belgian city of Bruges - made famous by messrs Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in this great film/drinking game - Cactus is a celebration of all things musical, with pop, rock, indie and just about everything in between on offer.
Touch our spikes!
Our tip
Check out the Moroccan and Vietnamese food on offer. It's a treat for the taste buds.
