Niet Leuven, maar wel Tienen – Suikerrock heeft terecht en slim een regionale exclusiviteit in zijn contract met Studio 100 bedongen – wist K3 te strikken voor een concert dat de geschiedenisboeken zal ingaan als de voorlaatste festivalset van Karen, Kristel en Josje als trio. Op 15 augustus 2015 tekenen ze nog present op de eerste editie van 014 On Stage in het stadspark van Turnhout. De Kempen krijgt dus het allerlaatste concert van de drie. Vanaf 28 november volgt dan een tour met de oude én de nieuwe K3. K6 dus. K3 ging voor een best of- concert en een snelle set in Tienen. Daarbij keek het trio niet naar de klok. Integendeel, bijna 10 minuten langer dan gepland stonden ze op het podium in Tienen.

The electric dance music veterans from England are known for their expressive shows that are always full of surprises and their performance on the main Positivus festival stage wasn’t an exception. A trumpeter in a crow’s costume, two brightly dressed singers with hair colored so many shades it is impossible to count, recklessly amazing dancers introduced as “children of the lights” and of course also the almost classical man in a gorilla costume running on and off the stage.

The electropop band from England rocked the main stage and made the crowd engage to their energetic beats from the very beginning of the performance. This highly spirited bunch are real party leaders and it is impossible to stay apathetic listening to their awakening swing.

The American singer-songwriter slowly steps on the stage and takes his seat by his black piano. Saying just a short “hi”, Max Jury just starts to play. He’s not trying to be statuesque or sit majestically like a lot of piano players do. With his shoulders dropped slightly and a little smirk on his face Max sings his melancholic songs truly telling a story, not only putting together words that rhyme or sounds good. He knows he is good, but Max stays humble and says a genuine “thank you” after every song the crowd goes wild to and claps their hands in excitement and appreciation.

“We showed up to make you sweat,” said the Estonian boys, stepping on the stage. And they did. There was not a single person in the room, who could stand still not following band’s funky rhythms. Dressed in dandy jackets, eyes hidden behind oldschoolish sunglasses, Lexsoul Dancemachine brightened up the audience as soon as they got to the stage and made everyone smile until the cheeks hurt.
