On voulait juste partager avec vous cet article paru vendredi dernier et dire un grand merci d’avoir pris le temps et laisser de l’espace pour parler de ce projet qui deviendra peut-être la nouvelle norme des tournées de musique.

What a nice picture to introduce you the Rosalina Family.. It’s the end of this tour, but It’s never really the end..

It’s a beautifull start, it was at some points a crazy dream, travelling only with bikes, playing shows and inviting other collective..

Now it was our reality for the past 6 weeks..

Thanks to Teatro Tatarira, Collective for Beautifull Trouble and Zofia to had amaizing colors in this tour..

Thanks to all the wonderful places who invited us..

Thanks to all the people for the support (mecanic, water, place to sleep, and so many others things) that make this possible.

Thanks to all this beautifull people who decided to take their bike and follow the rythmes of the Velocaravane..

And thank you so much, you, who came to our concerts and shows, this was really amaizing..

We are looking forward for the future..

Love,

It is possible to make a musical tour by bicycle! We just finished a tour from Brussels to Biel in 6 weeks. But nowadays only for people who are ready to endure much. This attempt to not heat up the climat and express love for nature while touring is challenging. It’s a long way to go until this is possible for the mainstream of music makers.

What’s needed are several things: better embedding of road conditions and inclinations in maps, more cycle paths in cities and safer ways in the countryside. For festival organisers it is necessary to rethink hospitality; even though a group with bikes takes much less space on the roads, we need more storage space when we rest – because we can’t leave our gear in an open trailor in a parking space. Also it is clear, that we have to stay overnight. For bands it is necessary to accept the fact, that not every gig in any place can be played – 30km journey per day are already a decent bit of work when the sun is hot and there is a gig afterwrds…

We are just at the beginning of a critical mass to make the change real.

Many many thankful thoughts about this incredible tour we just have finished. We travelled by Bicycle from Brussels to Biel – roughly 1000 km while playing gigs on an average of three days each week, organising accomodation and food and looking after eachother – What a group! Million thanks to each one of you! (Kaspar)

Rosalina Tour
15. Juni – 31. Juli 2022
Zwei Monate Tournée mit dem Velo

Eine Schwester und ihre Brüder. Zwei Monate und fünf Länder. Zehn Räder und mehr als
tausend Kilometer. Von Brüssel bis nach Biel. Mit dem Fahrrad von Dorf zu Dorf und von
Festival zu Festival. Es bleibt jedoch nicht nur bei den
verlorenen Geschwistern; der Ruf des Abenteuers hat
noch mehr Reisefreudige ins Boot, oder besser gesagt,
aufs Velo gelockt!

Deux mois de tournée en vélo

Une sœur et ses frères. Deux mois, cinq pays. Sur une dizaine de roues, 30 concerts et plus de
mille kilomètres. De Bruxelles à Bienne. En vélo, en passant par les petits villages et les
grands festivals.
Inspiré de cette haleine d’aventure, le projet a attiré plusieurs formations qui vont enjamber
leurs propres vélos et accompagner la tournée…
