ROSKILDE 2013

VOLBEAT, SIGUR RÓS, KVELERTAK AND GOAT TO PLAY ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2013

Nordic music package kickstarts the festival season.
Roskilde Festival is already working diligently on putting together a lineup that can compare with the successes of previous years. We start off with a diverse Nordic package that has something for almost every taste.

VOLBEAT (DK) has developed from a Nordic favourite to a huge'n'heavy name on the international metal scene. In 2013, Volbeat will make another impact. A new, galloping rock album is released this spring. The homecoming at Roskilde Festival will be a proud reunion with some local heroes whose world domination is about to be a reality.

SIGUR RÓS (IS) is back at Roskilde Festival for the first time since 2006. Their abstract and poetic future rock has turned them into a unique institution on the modern music scene. The Icelandics' latest album Valtari showed a very quiet side of the band. On the double album Innni from 2011 you can hear Sigur Rós’ qualities as a rock band in front of the audience.

KVELERTAK (NO) has made the international audience gasp for air with their blend of hardcore punk, black metal and garage rock. Roskilde Festival sent out an early invitation and booked the band as the very first this festival season.

GOAT (SE) plays psychedelic rock with an African aftertaste. With electric guitar, accordion, organ and a well-developed sense of funk and trance, Goat invites us on a wild ride towards a gaudy parallel world. The debut album World Music is one of the most hyped and critically acclaimed coming out of The North in 2012.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE (US) play psychedelic heavy rock reeking of both cactus acid, sex and petrol. At the same time they have conquered the airwaves with hits that have made them one of the most beloved rock groups of the 21st century. 2013 will clearly be a new landmark year for the band. According to front man Josh Homme, the new album is a return to the band's early virtues.

C2C (FR) delivers a turntable concert tightly packed with hip hop, soul, electronica and other genre acrobatics. The four Frenchmen have won the DMC DJ team championship four years in a row. In recent years, the four-piece have split up into two successful projects, Hocus Pocus and Beat Torrent, both of whom have visited Roskilde earlier.

DAEDELUS – ARCHIMEDES SHOW (US) is a complete concert experience tailored to match the American original’s skewed avant-garde electronica. A wall of mirrors combined with lights and projections create the impression of standing inside a giant mirror ball. This kind of magic cannot be done just anywhere, so we’re proud to present this at Roskilde.

Pues en cada ronda una buena confirmación: Sigur Ros y QOTSA

Kvertalak molan
Y me encantaría ver lo de archimides de daedelus,

De momento van muy bien

SLIPKNOT (US)

Almost 15 years after their debut album, Slipknot has become one of the world's greatest metal bands – on a par with much older icons. With a series of raging metal albums and unforgettable stage shows, they have conquered the central spot in the bloodstained kings’ court.

The grotesque, masked vigilantes take the audience on a journey to hell’s burning ravines where all members commit themselves 101 % in the service of doom.

In 2013 Slipknot crowns few, chosen festival posters, including Roskilde Festival.

Prepare yourself and your limbs for a cleansing experience stretched to the breaking point with manic horror, tough riffs and surprisingly melodic choruses.

Mañana toca dia de anuncio de cosas electrónicas:

5 electronic acts to come. From US & UK. FB likes HIGH: 88000, LOW: 1900. T followers HIGH: 41000 LOW: None #rf13 #toughtoguess

DISCLOSURE (UK) has on the first single release paved the way for the future of pop, house and dubstep. It's chic, urban and touches upon several hot spots on the electronic genre map.

BAAUER (US) blends house, southern hip hop and bass music in his own instrumental rehash. Reputable electronic names such as Rustie and Diplo have noticed this promising wiz kid.

HOLY OTHER (UK) mixes house, moody R&B and British dubstep in a darkened sound full of copy-pasted ghostlike vocals, clicking rimshots and keyboards in minor.

JAM CITY (UK) reinvents, mutates and transforms music as if Gyro Gearloose were let loose behind a mixing console. Somewhere inside the violent, futuristic music you find a wreckage of soul, house, techno and pop.

VATICAN SHADOW (US) also records under the name Prurient and is head of the trendsetting record label Hospital Productions. The American's disturbing electro is dark, dystopian and industrial.

Muy grandes las confirmaciones electrónicas

When Saints Go Machine visits Roskilde Festival 2013
The internationally acclaimed Danish band returns to Roskilde with a new album.

In 2010 they opened the Orange Stage as a relatively obscure act. In 2013 they return to Roskilde with great international interest to their name.

WHEN SAINTS GO MACHINE (DK) plays flamboyant, electronic pop – fronted by the incomparably versatile singer Nikolaj Vonsild. Their impressionistic sound is permeated by a desire to experiment. Yet, the melodies and the delicate sway of the hips are never abandoned. And their latest single "Mannequin" demonstrates that the towering ambitions are unlikely to be lowered on the next album. It’s planned for release in 2013 when the Copenhagen dandies visit Roskilde Festival for the third time.

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE is a very central name when it comes to alternative experimental pop. The New Yorker band has pushed pop music into a whole new dimension on a number of deeply curious albums, latest on Centipede Hz from 2012. For fans of especially alternative rock and pop - well, innovative music, generally - this is a dream booking. We haven't seen these wunder kids since 2006 when they were still a rather small band playing on our small Pavilion stage.

And then it's all about hip hop…
The rest of today's package is a batch of young hip hop with a respectful nod to the 90s.

In a time of full of exciting genre fusions, it's kind of liberating to have a bunch of hip hop bands who really appreciate old-school styles - without sounding passé.

ACTION BRONSON has a past as a gourmet chef, but has put palette knife and carving fork aside to devote himself to rap. With great confidence, he stands on the shoulders of Ghostface Killah and the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan as his rap takes him away from the kitchen and straight onto the hip hop scene.

DANNY BROWN has grown up in Detroit, is a self-confessed music geek and has continued the legacy of the cap-clad king of the city J Dilla in the company of Black Milk. His lyrical universe often revolves around drugs and the grim conditions of his home town. His mental condition is not all that bad, however, as he leaves room for plenty of quivering women's thighs and hefty doses of humour.

FLATBUSH ZOMBIES is a duo whose rap is based on four classic hip hop subjects: smoke, money, ladies and freshly baked waffles. Erick Arc Elliot produces the couple who has also rapped alongside A$AP Rocky. Meechy Darko and Zombie Juice deliver philosophical horrorcore with a stoned twist.

JOEY BADA$$ is a New York rapper on fire. He is part of Pro Era, a young group of hip hoppers who seems to have a well-developed love of the classic 90s scene of their hometown. This crew may be New York's equivalent of Los Angeles' Odd Future, and Joey Bada$$ is one of the Brooklyn collective's most noted members.

Mientras dormías placidamente, mi plan de "descansar en cualquier esquina" se veía frustrado con la cantidad de humedad que había. Así que vagabundeé por el festi mientras los demás dormían, otros limpiaban y alguno merodeaba el lugar.

Nada, que me he puesto a ver las fotos otra vez, rollo nostalgia.







Mi amiga danesa ya ha dicho que va hoy mismo justo, casualidad.

Yo estoy enamorado del festival. Este año quiere volver toda la tropa de colegas que lleva dos años sin pisarlo. Puede ser épico (si puedo ir).

Si fuese tú y tuviera la opción, ya sacrificaría más de un festival para dejar ese como prioritario. Y en compañía tiene que ser una pasada, es como ellos los disfrutan.
Y de paso una de Mikkeller Bar para la previa. Y te traes birras en la maleta facturada en la vuelta.

Planazo

No, si no me tienes que convencer, que sería mi décimo año consecutivo

Highasakite to play Roskilde Festival 2013
The Norwegian shooting stars are added to the lineup along with Ukranian band Dakhabrakha.

Eurosonic Noorderslag soon takes place, and on this occasion we announce two exciting bands who also play at the Dutch showcase festival.

HIGHASAKITE (NO) seems to be the new big Norwegian music act. Their alternative pop is filled with hit potential and catchy tunes. "Indian Summer" has already spread its heavy-hearted sweetness on the radio. The song is almost a signature tune for the Norwegians who like to play live wearing Indian outfits.

DAKHABRAKHA (UA) creates a self-confessed "ethnic chaos" of sensitive falsetto vocals, accordion, cello, bass-dark jazz and Ukrainian folk music. The expression is spiritual, melodious and here and there almost a bit scary like the most shadowy corners of a remote bazaar. Elements of both Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian descent pop up along the way.

Juas.

RIHANNA (BB) has become one of today’s biggest stars in R&B, pop and hiphop. The Caribbean superstar's debut at Roskilde Festival will be another spectacular party under the Nordic summer sky. Rihanna’s talent, charisma, dance moves and long line of hits dominate a show filled with glamour, sex appeal and inescapable choruses.

Convincing superstar
Rihanna has just released Unapologetic, her seventh album in just as many years. The first single from the album, ”Diamonds”, has been a no. 1 in 27 countries and is one of her very biggest hits so far. With 37 million sold albums, Rihanna is a major headliner from the poppy end of the genre scale.

Earlier in the still young festival season we have announced more rock-oriented bands for Roskilde Festival 2013, for instance Queens of the Stone Age, Slipknot and Volbeat.

Se me están quitando las ganas de intentar ir a este festival la verdad...

YOUNG ENERGY READY TO TAKE ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2013
Angel Haze, The Bots and King Krule add an extra glow of youth and freshness to the lineup.
Today's music acts may not be that old. Yet, their music is imbued with a confidence, weight and maturity you would associate with much older acts.

ANGEL HAZE (US) is one of the new strong women of hip hop. The energetic amazon caused a stir with her version of Eminem's "Cleaning Out My Closet" in which she raps about a sexual assault. "I run New York," is the chorus from her signature song. We bet she includes Roskilde when she drops by.

THE BOTS (US) master punk rock'n'roll, aiming for both the melodies and the carnal groove. As a matter of course, they find an unprecedented point on the colour scheme of retro rock. Brothers Mikaiah and Anaiah Lei have fine-tuned their skills on the electric guitar and the drums since childhood – and they released their first album when they were 15 and 12, respectively.

KING KRULE (UK) might end up as the melancholic voice of his generation. He serves up his depressive songs in a melodic blend of blues, jazz and reverb-wrapped pop. Previous projects from the East London troubadour also indicate a familiarity with dubstep and hip hop. It is hopefully only in the young Brit’s lyrics that his future looks sooty and black.

Por cierto, me hace gracia como se excusan ellos mismos en la confirmación de Riahnna aclarando que también son rockeros y tal...

Kreator to Roskilde Festival 2013
Also, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Anaal Nathrakh ensure musical shell shocks.

Three heavy names add extra weight to the Roskilde Festival's music program.

Today's package gives room for some legends that have helped create and develop a central genre. At the same time Roskilde Festival continues a tradition of great diversity in the metal programme by also accommodating the more extreme forms of metal.

KREATOR (DE) are German metal kings who have been making the stage boil for more than 30 years. Since the early 80s, these Germans have been spitting out albums that have enshrined their sound in the thrash genre DNA. Their last album is the Phantom Antichrist from 2012, showing a band in great form.

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN (US) made ​​its name with complex hard core, which is not only brutal, but also jazz virtuoso-like and filled with surprising genre detours. Their live shows are intense bursts of energy, where the complexities occasionally explode in a ferocity that has made the band's concerts legendary and infamous.

ANAAL NATHRAKH (UK) uses elements of black metal, melodic death metal and grind core to blur the boundaries of how uncompromising you can use the heavy music to evoke a dark cloud of terror and death. When Mick Kenney and David Hunt perform on stage, they usually bring in reinforcement, so together they can match the attack of the guitar and growls on the Brits’ albums.

Tego Calderón comes to Roskilde Festival 2013
Chinese Man and Mokoomba also fill the Roskilde lineup with sunshine.

Today's urban package is a three-stage rocket, exploring destinations as diverse as France, Zimbabwe and Puerto Rico.

TEGO CALDERÓN (PR) visits Roskilde Festival on his first Scandinavian tour ever. This is the first time in six years that the reggaeton king is in Europe. Reggaeton is a mix of Spanish-language rap, salsa, dancehall and other tropical beats – the genre has its origins in Puerto Rico's poorest neighbourhoods. Tego Calderón is partly responsible for making the music genre grow big both inside and outside the slum.

CHINESE MAN (FR) makes the party spin from their turntables with a mashup of funk, house, jazz, reggae and hip hop. The French DJ collective is a group of music lovers with a broad approach to turntablism and a penchant for obscure samples and crackling nostalgia. With visuals and vocalists on top of the versatile mix, this is a great opportunity to celebrate the Year of the Snake at Roskilde Festival.

MOKOOMBA (ZW) sounds like a concentrate of African traditions – filled with swaying hips, handclaps and festive brass. With the language and rhythms from their own tonga minority, Mokoomba throws funk, pop and Latin rhythms on top, and the band has a wonderful front man and lead singer in Mathias Muzaza. Uplifting dance music, almost certain to leave listeners happy and with a nice

Pues la cosa va de mal en peor, cada día conozco a menos de los confirmados...

jajaja, tego calderon es reggaeton. esta es una de las tandas de "musicas del mundo". Es lo que tiene este festival, mezcla total de estilos.

Mira que yo este año me iba a plantear lo de ir de voluntario, pero...con este cartel, me da que ni de coña.

Al fin una tanda que puedo asimiliar

ALTERNATIVE PACKAGE READY FOR ROSKILDE FESTIVAL
Dead Can Dance, Efterklang, Foxygen, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Suuns and Savages are added to the 2013 lineup.
We make the coming weekend a bit nicer with the announcement of these six new acts for Roskilde Festival 2013.

DEAD CAN DANCE (AU) play their very first concert ever on Danish soil - the only one in Scandinavia this summer. Through a fog of chanting vocals, reverb and thick synthesizers, Dead Can Dance calls forth the bewitched sweetness of Arabian nights and the odours of the Far East.

EFTERKLANG (DK) visits Roskilde for the fourth time with a show that will cement why the Danish lads are loved all over the world. The trio has signed with the legendary 4AD label. They have made audience members hold their breath back, playing fragile chamber pop with strong nuances and colours.

FOXYGEN (US) produces innocent, witty catchy tunes with impressive confidence and independence. The young blog darlings and critics' faves are obviously head-over-heels in love with the 60s bigwigs, but the duo has enough charisma, flamboyance and self-deprecation to make their songs solid material in the 21st century.

UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA (NZ/US) also look towards the 60s but add their own laid-back and homemade vibe to the acid trip. Stoned guitar rock filled with flickering sunshine, easy-going nonchalance and heartfelt tunes.

SUUNS (CA) is an advanced, adventurous rock band who love to jam deep far inside a cloud of electronica, kraut rock and post-rock. A new album called Images Du Futur is out in March - from a band one could call Montreal's answer to Radiohead.

SAVAGES (UK) play raw post-punk with a gory bite. The black-clad punk sisters have only released one single and has chosen to use their critically acclaimed concerts as the primary form of expression until the debut album lands later in the year

iba en serio ehhhh

Esta tanda mola!

ya se podían pasar mis queridos Kvelertak por otros festivales, ..... este no me llama nada

Kendrick Lamar to play Roskilde 2013
Jake Bugg, Hatebreed, Rokia Traoré and an electronic package from the Numbers label are also added to the lineup.

We add more stardust of solid acts to the 2013 lineup.

KENDRICK LAMAR (US) has made the leap into the list of grand hip hop acts. With good kid, m.A.A. d. city the rapper from Compton has made a bona fide masterpiece, one of the most critically-acclaimed albums of 2012. And the Nordic audience has already witnessed how he masters his craft in a live setting as well.

The American hip hopper is just one of several great acts today.

JAKE BUGG (UK) takes the best of 60s folk and 90s Brit rock and moulds his own melodic blues. The young musician has taken the stage as a young Bob Dylan and all the established stars are eager to sing his praise as well.

HATEBREED (US) have made mosh pits everywhere red-hot since 1994. They visit Roskilde Festival for the first time since 2004. The Americans breed their own monster: ’Celtic Frost hardcore’ front man Jamey Jasta dubs the genre, conveying a mix of thrash and hardcore.

ROKIA TRAORÉ (ML) plays Roskilde Festival for the third time. Today, the culturally widespread anchored diva is not just one of Mali's but Africa's central music ambassadeurs – her forthcoming album is called Beautiful Africa and is produced by PJ Harvey's sidekick John Parish.

NUMBERS feat. RUSTIE, JACKMASTER, ONEMAN, SPENCER, DEADBOY, REDINHO and SOPHIE (UK) present an electronic evening without genre restrictions. On this tour de force with Glasgow as the base, we get to hear techno, electro, hiphop, UK funky, dubstep and much more.

Aquí nunca traerían a Kendrick Lamar... envidiaca.

Si, en temas de hip hop he visto allí cosas que aquí ni en sueños. La tanda de no me ha gustado mucho.

TOMAAAA!!!!

Kraftwerk to play Roskilde Festival 2013
The electronic legends are back 15 years after their last visit.

The German legends and genre shapers return to Roskilde Festival. Their last concert in 1998 is still semi-mythical amongst fans of all kinds of electronic pop.

KRAFTWERK (DE) return to Roskilde Festival with their special 3D show, which has carried away London’s Tate Modern as well. This concert is one of few chances in Scandinavia to see the Germans who serve up a futuristic bouquet of their biggest hits on our Orange Stage.

3D glasses for the audience
Roskilde Festival hands out glasses to the audience so that everyone gets the right visual space age sensation worthy of the future-minded computer sounds. We have loads of them so that everyone can experience the influential band the best way.

Genre-shaping cyborgs
The legends from Düsseldorf were the first modern band to use electronic instruments solely. On immortal masterpieces, Kraftwerk constructed a universe of electronics, cyborgs and laser-guided synths, their synthetic beauty and ice-cold futurism has paved the way for everyone from Depeche Mode to Skrillex.

So, it's a big event to have the Germans back in 2013 when the future has already begun but Kraftwerk's music still sounds strange and at once enthused and frightened about the progress.

4 solid acts coming to Roskilde Festival
Today's music package offers electronica, folk pop and Danish-language pop.

This Wednesday we announce four acts who have all earned lots of credit with both the audience and the critics.

CRYSTAL CASTLES (CA) is a duo who inject the energy from punk into their trance-inspired electronica. Alice Glass is a shrill and fired-up front woman who sings on top of analogue synths, a pulsating beat and neverending stroboscopes.

MARIE KEY (DK) has established herself as one of the most original songwriters and lyricists in Denmark. With a more electronic sound, she has conquered both the radio waves and the critics with her latest album.

THE LUMINEERS (US) is the latest star in the sky playing stomp-and-clap folk rock, which is getting popular all over the world. Concerts with The Lumineers often result in big singalongs and call and response with the audience.

OF MONSTERS AND MEN (IS) have fallen right into the grace of an international audience with their grandly orchestrated folk pop. With a dark nature poetry they create an unmistakably Icelandic feel. Of course, the Icelanders already consider Of Monsters And Men a national treasure.

More electronic music at Roskilde Festival 2013
Simian Mobile Disco, Carli, Eik, Gnucci and Lemâitre are added to the lineup.

After last week’s release of the German electronic legends Kraftwerk, this week we focus on some brand-new upcoming electronic acts.

However today’s British addition to the lineup are well on their way to becoming an institution amongst fans of techno, house and electronica.

SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO (UK) has combined dance-friendly club music, experimental techno and pop bangers since the beginning of the new millenium. The duo has become highly respected VIPs who merge the best of electronic music capitals such as London, Detroit and Chicago.

CARLI (SE) is an overwhelmingly talented DJ and producer. The eclectic Swede has built up a CV bulging with transatlantic impact and VIP collaborators. A shooting star who has already received the endorsement of Robyn and A-Trak, among others.

EIK (NO) specialises in 80s-tinted nostalgia and colour-saturated soundscapes full of disco and synth pop. The duo, which turns into a quartet on stage, creates dreamy electronica full of gentle synths and wonderful minor tones with impressive ease.

GNUCCI (SE) finally takes the stage on her own, having served under the flags of prior Roskilde acts such as Spoek Mathambo, Mash Up International and Schlachthofbronx. Now the time has come for us to get to know the gifted brunette entirely on her own terms.

LEMÂITRE (NO) aims at becoming the Norwegian equivalent to French acts such as Justice, Phoenix and Daft Punk. The international audience will surely continue dancing when Lemâitre this year releases another EP of organic electro beats, called Relativity 3.

The shooting stars will take off at Apollo Countdown
Carli, Eik, Gnucci and Lemâitre will play the Apollo Countdown stage, which is the home of elctronic beats during the first four days of the festival. Simian Mobile Disco will take on Apollo between 4 and 7 July.

Definitivamente, no se me ha perdido nada en Dinamarca...

Hombre, el creador de la canción "Harlem Shake".
Por lo demás, bastante variado el festival.

A warm and sunny addition to the Roskilde Festival 2013 lineup
Bombino, Hoba Hoba Spirit, Kottarashky & The Rain Dogs and Meridian Brothers bring some well-needed sunshine to your early spring.

The last couple of days have been horribly cold in Scandinavia – but hopefully today’s music announcements, ranging from West African desert blues to Colombian Latin rythms with a twist, will bring some well-needed sunshine to your day.

BOMBINO (NE) has become an ambassador for peace. His raw and poetic guitar playing is like witnessing a West African Jimi Hendrix shrouded in desert clothes. The guitarist with the rock star potential belongs to the desert nomads called the Tuaregs. Their hypnotic music has been a part of Roskilde Festival before when bands such as Tinariwen and Terakaft visited the festival.

HOBA HOBA SPIRIT (MA) has been a part of a minor Moroccan music revolution. Since the band turned on the amplifiers in the late 90s, they have combined rock and the tones of ancient Morocco in a way that has practically turned them into a national treasure. The fearless music collective combines traces of The Clash, Bob Marley and North African gnawa rhythms with their own melodic and accessible music.

KOTTARASHKY & THE RAIN DOGS (BG) invite us to the Bulgarian cosmopol Sofia. Kottarashky broke through with the laptop based Opa Hey! With the backing band The Rain Dogs he wanted to take a more organic approach. The dexterous orchestra serves a chilled brew of Eastern European folk music, dub, funk and soul.

MERIDIAN BROTHERS (CO) do avantgarde pop from another dimension. Their foundation is Latin and tropical rhythms from their homeland. In a bubbling witch’s brew of sunshine and madness, bandleader and jester Eblis Álvarez takes us into his vision of Latin America. The crooked sounds are made out of lounge-like organs, seasick rhythms and steel brass.

New bands make the 2013 Roskilde Festival line-up even harder and heavier
Chelsea Light Moving, Nazoranai, The Sword and Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats make up the latest addition to our 2013 line-up

There’s no need to be overly polite here; regardless of whether you like alternative noise rock or classic hard rock, today’s new bands on our 2013 line-up all kick ass.

CHELSEA LIGHT MOVING (US) is the new band from former Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore. Having parked his legendary and groundbreaking band in the garage, the ever youthful guitar pioneer has assembled a new team of players, perfectly designed to push gritty and sharply cut guitar rock even to completely new territory.

NAZORANAI (INT) take you on a trip to the furthest corners of the mind with their experimenting doom, filled with disturbed vocals and massive doses of darkness. The Japanese emperor of darkness Keiji Haino has teamed up with Oren Ambarchi and Stephen O'Malley from the hooded merchants of doom and Roskilde favorites, Sunn O))).

THE SWORD (US) is one of the most consistent and muscular heavy metal bands out there today. Whether your hard rock benchmarks are contemporary sludge- and stoner metal bands, or Black Sabbath, you’re more than well taken care of here. In the world of The Sword, who’s latest album deals with forbidden Christian scriptures, only one thing is sacred: they worship the guitar riff in all its power and glory.

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS (UK) have managed to create somewhat of a small cult following around their bloodsoaked and psychedelic hard rock. The British, mildly deviant rock gods will be a revelation to all who enjoy the rock soaked in memorable melodies and guitars with nostalgic fuzz-effects. Mind Control, the third album from the band, is just around the corner.

The National confirmed for Roskilde Festival 2013
The popular gloom rockers among this year’s main attractions with a brand new album in the suitcase.

A band with a huge Scandinavian appeal return to Roskilde Festival.

The National (US) arrive at Roskilde Festival with a brand new album, Trouble Will Find Me, in their suitcase – this concert will be the first opportunity in Scandinavia to hear the new songs live.

Previous albums from The National, such as Alligator and Boxer, are already modern classics filled with a wide, romantic appeal to Scandinavian hearts and minds. The last time The National played at Roskilde Festival was in a packed Arena tent in 2010, a convincingly mature band bringing parts of their back catalogue and songs from the, at that time newly released album High Violet, to life in such a way that it practically rained stars from critics, audiences and Roskilde Festival alike.

Solid americana added to Roskilde Festival 2013 line-up
Calexico, Frank Fairfield and Jonathan Wilson join our line-up

Even though today’s bands have all been grown from the fertile soil of American roots music, they each approach tradition from their own unique and groundbreaking angle.

CALEXICO (US) have combined country with Mexican mariachi music on their previous border–crossing albums, but on their latest effort, 2012’s Algiers, the two gringos headed for the west bank of the Mississippi in sprawling New Orleans. The result of that trip is a colorful album that most certainly called for the band’s return to Roskilde Festival.

FRANK FAIRFIELD (US) more or less spent his life as a hobo, until he was finally discovered by the right people to see his potential and talent. These days, he’s touring with the Fleet Foxes, and making acclaimed records filled with heartbreak, whisky, inevitable poverty and the ever imminent stock market crash. Frank Fairfield tops his authentic americana with plenty of banjo and fierce fiddlin’.

JONATHAN WILSON (US) plays the kind of country rock where the psychedelic colors and shapes of late 60s California blend together. Yet at the same time, Wilson is so contemporary in his songwriting that fans of modern folk rock should be sure check him out as well. The talented musician and songwriter also enjoys a career as a session player for legends such as Jackson Brown and The Band’s Robbie Robertson.

Bueno, estas dos últimas tandas ya son otra cosa. Aún así, me queda demasiado lejos...

Si vieras el recinto y el ambiente.....

En cualquier caso, en 2 semanas rueda de prensa, aunque siempre suele caer 1 subliner y en veces puntuales headliners (Faith No More, Prince, Portishead) y cosas interesantes, entre la rueda y el cierre definitivo con horarios.

Si vieras esto, no volvias a los festis españoles

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON CONFIRMED FOR ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2013
The American legend is added to the Roskilde Festival line-up.
Roskilde Festival has a strong tradition of presenting some of the most important pioneers of modern music, and today’s announcement is no exception, as he is one of country music’s most prolific and important artists. “His songs have long since taken their place in music history among the greatest classics, and his latest records show that there is still a lot of musical and creative power left in him. To be given the opportunity to present an artist like Kris Kristofferson to the Roskilde Festival audience is a huge honour. He is one of the last living legends” says Peter Hvalkof.

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON (US) has an impressive catalogue that includes some of country music’s best known songs, and an influence on other musicians that places him among the titans of American music. Armed with nothing more than a guitar, harmonica and plenty of personal grit, the silver-haired multi-artist plays authentic country with a taste of bourbon, Nashville and stories about his own life’s ups and downs. Kris Kristofferson’s latest album, Feeling Mortal, is packed with songs of mortality and hard-earned wisdom, and according to many, the latest work of the former boxer and US Army Captain with the poetic pen is among the best of his career.
