SOS Music Festival Vol. 11

In case you've missed the announcement in the Weekly Agenda, it's time for another SOS music festival!
The 11th edition (or Vol. 11 as the organizers like to call it) will take place next Friday, November 20 2009 at the El Gezira Youth Center (Markaz Shabab El Gezira), the same open air venue of last spring wonderful Vol. 10.
I attended last festival and was really surprised by the organization, the sound quality and the excellent atmosphere, with a crowd far more relaxed and "polite" than the one you'll find at similar open air events in Europe.    
It is an excellent opportunity to hear in one go some of the best local groups and a pair of foreign act as well. My advice is ... GO, you won't regret it.
