FEEL LIKE FLYING IN THE BURNING SUN

ACT: RACOON
EVENT: PINKPOP 2012 (MAIN STAGE)
GENRE: SINGER-SONGWRITER, SOFT ROCK
LOCATION: MEGALAND
CITY: LANDGRAAF, THE NETHERLANDS
DATE: 27-MAY-12 

Racoon is a Dutch band that is most known for their fragile singer-songwriter songs. The group had their breakthrough in 2005 with the ballad "Love You More". In 2011 they released their 5th studio album "Liverpool Rain" while the first single "No Mercy" peaked at number 3 in the Dutch charts.

The temperature is Racoon's biggest friend during this gig. The sun is burning and this is the reason that the folky acoustic guitar ballads are very much appreciated by the audience that was still recovering from the first festival night. Emotional moments are also there: goosebumps when singer Bart van der Weide dedicates 'Don't Give Up The Fight' to the son of an neighbour who passed away.

I am not a real Racoon fan, but lying in the sun and having some beers even I enjoyed their solid performance especially "Feel Like Flying" and "Brother".
