20th anniversary
On February 18th 1999, the first live sounds that Flat Earth Society ever produced, could be enjoyed in the Cartoons club in Antwerp. In the ever-expanding FES universe, those early compositions still sound as fresh and invigorating as 20 years ago. FES celebrated this special anniversary with a ‘Best Of’ repertoire, a 100-year jubilee tour of ‘The Oyster Princess’ and a tour through Canada and the United States.
