Vintermörkret börjar sakta dra sig undan – det märks att dagarna blivit något längre. Nu kommer också flera absoluta vårtecken: festivalbokningarna. Roskilde Festival verkar vara på gång i allra högsta grad och nu är det klart att Damon Albarn, Interpol och Warpaint kommer till den danska musikfestivalen i sommar. Så här står det i ett pressmeddelande från festivalen:
”Extraordinary musical chameleon Damon Albarn brings his first solo album to this year’s Roskilde Festival in Denmark. The line-up also includes dark alternative rock from Interpol and Warpaint.
Damon Albarn incarnates like few others Roskilde Festival’s ambitions: Quality, curiosity and exploration go hand in hand. Throughout his impressive career, he has been around Brit pop, Afro pop, alternative rock and even Chinese opera.
Later in 2014, Damon Albarn releases his first solo album, entitled Everyday Robots, and on that occasion he is confirmed for a live show at Denmark’s Roskilde Festival.”
Programansvarige Anders Wahren säger:
”Roskilde Festival’s audience has grown quite familiar with Damon Albarn because of his previous shows here with Blur and Gorillaz. Now that he finally releases his first proper solo album, we are proud that our audience will have the opportunity to experience that milestone in his career.”
Roskildefestivalen äger rum i Danmark mellan den 29 juni och den 6 juli, sedan tidigare är bland annat Arctic Monkeys, Haim och MØ klara för festivalen.
