ROSKILDE 2011

Bueno, abro mi post tradicional sobre el maravilloso festival danes al que llevo asistiendo año tras año de manera ininterrumpida desde 2004... Además este año vamos como campeones del mundo....y eso siempre es un plus...os lo aseguro...

Aquí va lo anunciado (poco) hasta la fecha:

AFROCUBISM (INT)
Musical meeting between West Africa and Cuba.

AUTOPSY (US)
Legendary, X-rated death metal.

BEATSTEAKS (DE)
Internationally recognised punk rock from Berlin.

DE ENESTE TO (DK)
Two popular Danish songwriters take a crooked break.

EYEHATEGOD (US)
Evil, swampy Southern metal.

HOW TO DRESS WELL (US)
Abstract, alternative R&B.

ICEAGE (DK)
Intense, uncontrolled post-punk.

IRON MAIDEN (UK)
Legendary, long-haired heavy metal.

KINGS OF LEON (US)
Stadium rock with a Southern flavour.

L.O.C. (DK)
The king of Danish hip hop

THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH (S)
Acoustic folk with a sound taken from the American 60s.

TERROR (US)
Hardcore true to its roots.

WEEKEND (US)
Brand-new noise rock for seasoned ears.

PJ HARVEY (UK)
The queen of alternative rock.

ANNA CALVI (UK)
Dark, romantic rock with a red lipstick mark.

MATTHEW DEAR - Live Band (US)
Sophisticated urban pop with an electronic pulse.

KLOSTER (DK)
Spiritual folk filled with mysticism and beauty.

KURT VILE & THE VIOLATORS (US)
Highway rock from the bedroom.

BIG BOI (US)
Southern hip hop from one half of Outkast.

JANELLE MONÁE (US)
Alternative R&B from another galaxy.

MASTODON (US) play their third concert at Roskilde Festival this summer. The mix of classic heavy metal, progressive rock and great technicality has made the band from the deep US south darlings with both metal fans, critics and music fans that are not normally into hard rock. When they played in 2005 and 2007, they were critically acclaimed and with a breakaway potential from the narrow metal circles. This year they come to Roskilde Festival as one of the strongest acts of the genre. And if you want to be assured about Mastodon’s continued supremacy on a live stage, Live At The Aragon – a good old-fashioned live recording from Chicago – is out soon.

DÅÅTH (US) has, in the course of four albums, investigated the borderland between death metal, thrash and whichever musical impressions that have caught their interest. Dååth’s two guitarists turn each concert into an eye-opener regarding virtuosity and dizzying solos, while drummer Kevin Talley is a star in metal circles for his take-no-prisoners drumming.

PARKWAY DRIVE (AUS) is becoming one of Australia's biggest successes in metal and hardcore. Do not let Parkway Drive’s pretty band name fool you. This is metalcore from the angriest and heaviest part of the genre spectrum. The young band’s first albums were produced by none other than Adam Dutkiewicz from Killswitch Engage. In the future the Australians may just well be in the same league as these metal giants.

M.I.A. (UK) has, in the course of three albums and several mixtapes, shown us how to transpose today's internet-based world to fierce, genre-exceeding pop. We are looking forward to preparing a stage for a global pop fest with one of today's most hip and controversial acts.

M.I.A.'s music is dirty like a city pavement and has both Western and Oriental blood running through its system. She skips between the continents in the same way as others manoeuvre the internet. Dancehall, Bollywood, Afro hip hop, Suicide. Everything is put on the catapult and fired off.

The latest release from the provocative style icon is the mixtape Vicki Leekx – and as always M.I.A. couples music and explosive political issues.

De momento le gana el Werchter a Roskilde por goleada.

Aupa Jackster

Curiosidad: ¿qué hace especial este festi? es diferente que otros macrofestivales? más comodo?

Curiosidad2: no pillo lo de ir como campeones del mundo.

El cartel es tan ecléctico que asusta, luego dicen del BBK live.
De momento de festivales en ese plan, me gusta más el Werchter.

No te había leído

En qué fecha es? Igual este año tiramos por allí a visitar Mikkeller.

Pues que con nuestra camiseta de España y nuestra banderita...seguro que las nordicas nos prestan bastante atencion, jajajajaja, porque si ya lo hicieron en 2008 con la Eurocopa, no te digo nada con el Mundial.

Boohan, Werchter es un festival de "cabezas de cartel". En Werchter hay 50 grupos y en Roskilde 160. Hoy han confirmado a Black Eyed Peas como cierre de traca tras Maiden. Esta bien, pero son dos escenarios, que encima se slapan siempre, como no podia ser menos

Rebellion, Roskilde es el Primavera Sound de los macrofestivales. 6 escenarios, conciertos integros de los grupos importantes (nada de una horita y esas cosas) y en donde puedes ver siempre cosas muy interesantes y no tan trilladas, cosas nordicas que muchas veces no salen de alli y una diversidad desde el hip hop (Big Boi) al death metal (Autopsy) pasando siempre por grandes nombres mainstream.

No falto a una cita desde 2004. Digamos que es la mezcla entre PS, Sonar, FIB y BBK

Es que los que más me interesan de ahí ya van al PS

lo bueno es que como tú vas a tantos fregaos, te vas quitando solapes

Sí, he estado en el Werchter y en efecto son sólo 2 escenarios, lo cual es bueno y es malo a la vez. Roskilde me lo imagino en plan Primavera, con 4-5 escenarios y más posibilidades de que te coincidan dos cosas que te gustan.

Werchter por cierto es un festival al que dificílmente volveré a ir a no ser que sólo vaya a un día suelto, como hice el año pasado (PJ + Arcade + TCV). En 2009 fui los 4 días y es demasiado duro. Muchísima gente (80.000 o 100.000 por día), recinto pequeño, muy poco espacio para todo el mundo, la mitad de la gente muy mamada, camping con duchas de pago (y aquel año, 40 grados de calor desde primera hora...)... es Roskilde así de duro?

Roskilde es de 12 del mediodia a 4 de la mañana, pero entrando 100000 personas (75000 de pago + 25000 voluntarios es mucho mas comodo y desahogado que cualquier otro festival en el que haya estado (vamos, que podrían caber el doble). El camping es la tercera ciudad de dinamarca en esos dias.

A mi me gusta el público, mucho nordico, que son educados y ya digo buen rollo con todas las tribus urbanas que pululan por alli. No se, a mi que me gustan todos los estilos de musica, me parece el festival perfecto.

Tiene 6 escenarios, pero la verdad es que los horarios los suelen cuadrar bastante bien, no recuerdo morirme por solapes dolorosisimos (cosa que en el Primavera siempre pasa).

Recuerdo un dia glorioso de 2009 que me calce del tiron de 12 a 3:

Satyricon
Firt Aid Kit
Fleet Foxes
Isis
Faith No More
Down
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
The Mars Volta
Oasis
Grace Jones (aqui me raje, la hubiera podido ver, pero no daba mas de mi)
Nine Inch Nails
Royksopp

Este año, por el momento, no me tira demasiado.

Jodó, pedazo de día
Eres un máquina. Yo me siento incapaz de ver más de 6-7 conciertos en un día. Bueno, ver sí, pero asimiliar...

Eso sí, hace falta tener cuerpo para pasar de Fleet Foxes a Isis
Menudo torbellino emocional!

Pues de Satyricon a First Aid Kit no te digo na

Es que no tengo ahora mismo muy claro que son ninguno de los dos
First aid Kit me suena a poperada pero ahora no ubico.

CONGOTRONICS vs ROCKERS (INT) revive the special congotronics sound from Konono N°1 and Kasai Allstars in new interpretations along with Deerhoof from the US, Juana Molina from Argentina, Wildbirds & Peacedrums from Sweden and Matt Mehlan from US act Skeletons. Together, this star-studded bunch rediscovers the electrified, joyous trance sound that has turned Congo into a music mecca for hipsters and music lovers.

JAGWA MUSIC (TAN) cultivates a genre called mchiriku, a percussion-based type of music that makes your blood boil with its steady, rhythmic attack. Due to a lack of funds, the musicians use old Casio keyboards and whatever materials they can get a hold of as well as traditional African drums.

SHANGAAN ELECTRO (ZA) gives the audience an opportunity to experience a brand-new genre from the first row. The speedy music style is already a hit on YouTube with over two million views. In the townships of Johannesburg people from 12 to 50 are shaking their booties to this revolutionary mix of up-tempo, synthetic marimba beats and pitched vocal samples - and they can keep going for hours as long as the tempo is fast enough. Now it is Roskilde Festival's turn when Nozinja, Tshetsha Boys and DJ Spoko deliver ultra-kinetic musical energy.

DESTROYER (CAN) has since the mid-90s released some of the most delicate and enigmatic albums full of lyrical glam pop. On the latest album Kaputt, front man and mastermind Dan Bejar flirts with soft rock, synths and saxophone solos. He brings his big backing band to Roskilde Festival. We are excited to finally present this shy and unique songwriter in Scandinavia.

LITTLE DRAGON (S) mixes synth pop, jazzy R&B and trip hop in its own charming mixture. The Swedish band has collaborated with capacities such as Damon Albarn and Dave Sitek from TV On The Radio. The Japanese singstress Yukimi Nagano was also on Roskilde's Orange Stage along with Gorillaz in 2010. A small Swedish band with a big wing span.

TAME IMPALA (AUS) has skillfully picked up the tricks from psychedelic bands such as Cream and The Beatles – but also more contemporary mushroom pickers such as The Flaming Lips. A mildly drugged vibe hangs over each note from the Australians who take you to a comfortable place off the map by means of jam sessions, dreamy vocal harmonies and evergreen melodies.

VETO (DK) has, in the course of three rainy electro rock albums, established itself on the Danish rock scene. Front man Troels Abrahamsen has never let the steadily growing success block his artistic vision. The inspiration come from British, alternative rock, but the four Danes add a more distinct electronic touch to the music that is constantly sprawling, ticking and hissing inside the dark soundscapes.

Ya podía confirmar a Tame Impala en el Azkena

TAME IMPALA!

No me creo que desde LTI no quieran tener un grupo así en su azkena...


Rebellion, me has leído la mente y adelantado!

Me da un mal rollo...

This week's music package has all colours of the rainbow. We present acid rock, fusion blues and post-everything rock.

SPIDS NØGENHAT (DK) has achieved an almost cult-like status among Danish music freaks. The rare live shows by Spids Nøgenhat are mind-expanding sessions that will appeal to all lovers of psychedelic rock and strange plants. Several of the band members have previously played at Roskilde Festival with Baby Woodrose and Dragontears.

YEMEN BLUES (ISR) blends the ancient sound of the (un)happy Arabia with brass, cross flute and percussion. Everything is brought together by Ravid Kahalani – an Israeli with a Yemeni background – in a fragrant potpourri full of blues and jazzy finesse. An exciting fusion project with numerous scents from both the Middle East, Africa and New York.

ZUN ZUN EGUI (UK) is principally considered a British band – but this is really a rainbow-coloured explosion of nationalities, genres and musical languages. African guitar, Japanese avant-garde and jazzy post-rock from Chicago clash in a dadaist carnival – a sound nightmare for everyone who demands clear-cut genre borders. Fans of Frank Zappa, Mike Patton and Talking Heads will nod appreciatively.

Venga hombre! Con ese nombre son de Hernani lo menos

Pues ya te digo que la musica que hacen muy de Hernani, como que no es

BRIGHT EYES (US) has gone from being a breathlessness-struck teenager to a fully mature songwriter with air under his wings, political indignation and a great arsenal of musical effects. Front man Conor Oberst’s easily recognised voice enjoys the company of well-written songs that in an instant can go from flickering beautifully and quietly as a candle to bursting out in a sea of flames of emotional rock. Alternative folk rock in American wide-screen from an artist that many has proclaimed a new Bob Dylan.

CODY (DK) plays pop songs in a charming country and folk wrapping. Kaspar Kaae is Cody’s band leader, songwriter and artistic driving force. Single-handedly, he produces Americana-sounding pop hits with a perfect American accent. In concert a whole group of musical esquires join him on stage. This way, Cody’s lonely starting point is turned into a collective experience lifted by violins, lap steel guitar and banjo.

JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE (US) is no less than the son of American country rock legend Steve Earle – yet, he seems convincing in his insistence of marking his own territory. With a rough life behind him, Earle has lots of material to write songs from, loaded with the isolation and hard-earned experiences of country music. At the same time it is clear to hear that this is a new generation singing. As a member of the mp3 generation he can easily skip between different genres such as blues, folk, hillbilly and honky tonk. Earle junior follows inventively and respectfully in his father's footsteps.

Historic Afrobeat party at Roskilde Festival
Femi Kuti and Seun Kuti share a stage for the first time.

A flag day for the Afrobeat genre awaits at Roskilde Festival 2011. For the first time ever Fela Kuti’s two sons FEMI KUTI and SEUN KUTI are on the same stage. It is nothing less than a sensation – an event that will put a smile on the face of the great musician and political rebel in the Olympia of music legends. Named after a song by Fela, we call this double show “Just Like That”.

The two brothers take the stage together after having played separate shows. Roskilde Festival and the Kuti brothers’ base are now working on making a concert experience full of surprises that will match this central event in the history of the Afrobeat genre.

FEMI KUTI & POSITIVE FORCE played an emotional concert the day after the Roskilde accident in 2000. Femi started out in his father’s backing band in the 80s. Today he is playing with his fourteen-piece band. Straight from The Afrika Shrine, Lagos, he combines raw hard-edged rhythms, the complexities of Miles/Gillespie-inspired brass and seductive dancers, all in one awe-inspiring show.

SEUN ANIKULAPO KUTI & EGYPT 80 conquered Roskilde Festival’s Cosmopol stage in 2007 with a tremendous party. Seun is the youngest of the Kuti sons and plays with his father’s old legendary band. The red-hot mix of funk, sparkling horns, musical joy and political indignation continues. Yet, Kuti junior relates just as much to the present music scene as he does to his iconic family name.

CHASE & STATUS (UK) are about to become megastars in the arena where drum'n'bass, dubstep, pop and rock collide in spectacular public celebrations. Everyone who enjoyed a hot rave in the company of The Prodigy and/or Pendulum at Roskilde Festival 2010, should go to a massive drum'n'bass party with Chase & Status.

FOALS (UK) play danceable rock that you can easily move your feet to. However, unlike few other British bands, Foals are intent on musical experimentation, constantly shaking and challenging the templates of their rock songs. Look forward to skewed, tricky rhythms and African-inspired guitar playing from this advanced, British rock band.

KILLING JOKE (UK) has with industrial synthesizers, aggressive guitars and electronic techno rhythms inspired a dizzying number of bands. Both the metal and punk crowds have embraced this band. Absolute Dissent from 2010 is made by the original lineup from the late 70s and shows a manic top form on par with the early years.

KYLESA (US) is a Southern state band specialising in psychedelic metal with a poppy edge. The vocal alternation between Laura Pleasants and Philip Cope and the many accessible and almost indie-rocking features of the songs make Kylesa a band who, as a matter of course, invites all kinds of music lovers into the fold.

Hay muchas cosas interesantes en las letras medianas y pequeñas (como todos los años), pero falta algun viejunillo y/o pelotazo exclusivo...

El año pasado anunciaron a Prince después del cartel y en 2009 a Faith No More. Cruzo los dedos.

Poner a Mastodon de cabeza es un poco cachondeíto no?

total!

en el Sonisphere de Barna había como 5 grupos por encima en el cartel, Down, Machine Head, Lamb of God, Slipknot, y Metallica, claro
pero vamos, igual han subido en popularidad a saco en esos 3 años...


por cierto, tienen a los 2 hijos de Fela Kuti! y uno de ellos con los Egypt 80! Yo quiero eso!!!

TOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa se cayo White Zombie....pero tenemos a Portishead como cierre:

PORTISHEAD (UK) is a true headliner, not least because they have set a fashion in the trip hop genre. The Bristol band caught everyone by surprise when they after a 10-year-long break returned with a new album, which was a true rebirth of the band. Portishead has already announced its fourth album. Hopefully the Roskilde audience will be treated to some samples this summer.

KAIZERS ORCHESTRA (N) are quite taken with the audience in Denmark. The band has played three gigs at Roskilde Festival. The kaizer-like favourites are ready to take on Roskilde once again. The Norwegians are working on chapter two of the album trilogy Violeta Violeta that revisits what made the band popular to begin with, unscrupulous gypsy rock delivered in Norwegian.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE (US) returns to Roskilde Festival as a new band. They have lost the raven robes and the thick mascara around the eyes. Instead, the Americans engage in loud colours and metallic power pop with sci-fi lyrics. Fortunately, My Chemical Romance have not lost the big gestures in their theatrical concert appearances.

HOFFMAESTRO (S) are Swedish ska kings on a shopping spree in genres. The album Skank-a-Tronic Punkadelica has already become somewhat of a neo-classic in their home country, and in concert the 10 blue'n'yellow members are notorious and famous for their danceable intensity.

HYMNS FROM NINEVEH (DK) make the audience hold its breath with their beautiful, acoustic-based songs about faith, doubt, hope and love. The arrangements are rich with instruments such as violin, accordion, saw and banjo. Music that will make the angels sing.

DANIEL NORGREN (S) has a devastating insight into the blues and sounds like Tom Waits in a bar fight with Muddy Waters. The Swede's ability to squeeze the sound of an entire garage rock band into a simple blues riff is nothing less than impressive.

Bueno, Rob joder, la emoción de Portishead me ha nublado la mente

Bueno, yo ya tengo programadas las grabaciones del Roskilde aunque no tengo ni puta idea de lo que van a emitir en la zdf.kultur. El conejillo de indias es el Hurricane este fin de semana, según lo que ocurra allí sabremos que podremos obtener de este canal para Glastonbury y Roskilde entre otros.

Bueno, regrese ayer y un año mas me lo pase en grande, y eso que este año la expedicion ha sido algo escualida, pero gran ambiente, grandes conciertos y no nos cogio de lleno el pedazo de tromba de agua.

Txomin, he visto que ya han subido un par de bolos a dimeadozen, no se como te quedo a ti el asunto....

Pues se ha quedado en lo del sábado: Raveonettes y Bright Eyes, porque lo demás que van a emitir es danés. Muy mal, el peor de todos en el tema televisivo y además durante Raveonettes hubo un problema de transmisión de señal entre Roskilde y la ZDF justo cuando cayó el tormentazo y se jodió una canción de Raveonettes. Y los hijos de p van a repetir el concierto de VETO que ya les dieron el sábado y no el que tuvo los problemas.

Hostia, me olvidaba, el lunes dieron el concierto de Bad Religion.
