Im August geht's mit dem Rockpalast immer wieder zum Haldern Pop Festival ins beschauliche Rees am Niederrhein. Am 5. August 2005 spielen auch die Schotten von Franz Ferdinand mit Bands wie den Kaiser Chiefs auf dem gemütlichen Festivalgelände. Der Song "The Dark Of The Matinée" ist die dritte Singleauskopplung ihres selbstbetitelten Debütalbums von 2004.
