If a picture tells a thousand words...

The cover of the last issue of Time-Out's Beirut Magazine before the whole thing kicked off ...

Whilst the editorial reads: "Festival season is upon us, a funny time, full of nostalgia, long road trips, magical ruins and some amazing concerts coupled with some very poor ones. Still there are few of us who don't remember Lebanon in the summer for at least one mind-blowing gig."

Sad.
