Skanifest

Skanifest was a punk, ska and rock festival organized in Ciney, Belgium from 2005 until 2009. The festival's aim was to host rock, ska and punk bands at fair prices. The Skanifest ASBL (non-profit organisation) was dissolved in 2010.

Each year, Skanifest tried to mix local groups starting out, more experienced local bands and artists with national, or even international, experience.
