[September 10th 2004] What a blast the Rumble was! I can't believe how great this party turned out! Waterfront and Stardumb would like to thank every one who attended the Rumble and all the bands that rocked out with us for making this festival such a success.
As soon as possible we'll be back with another update here with lots of photos taken at the Rumble, so check back soon!
Some good news is also that we're definitely up for another Rotterdam Rumble next year, so keep an eye open for info about that too later on.
Okidoki, thanks again and have fun!
