Dear Roskilde-goer We are very happy to once again open the gates to Roskilde Festival. The past year has seen a world in economic recession – something that has also had an impact on Roskilde Festival. It has affected prices and currencies, not least in Iceland and Sweden. We sincerely appreciate your participation – because if there is one thing essential and indispensable to this festival... it is our audience.

We have worked hard to present a festival which again this year can live up to previous years’ big sucesses, and which does not let itself be weighed down by the global economy.

As always, we serve up a wide music programme with something for everyone. We have something for those who want to experience the big roars from the Orange Stage as well as for those who dig the niche genres. We have 180 acts on the programme so there is loads to delve into by our seven music stages.

Camping site under pressure Over the years, the gravel pit has spread out and created a huge hole in the middle of the camping area. Festival veterans will quickly no-

WELCOME

WELCOME TO ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2009 tice that gates and areas from previous years have now been eaten up, and Roskilde rookies will experience a camping site where it may not be the easiest place to find one’s way around.

For this reason, we have now named the largest passageways. On the map in this programme book and on road signs at the festival area all road names are clearly marked. They will help you find your way around the festival area. Remember that you can also look after the service towers which are clearly marked by the letter of the camping area that you are in.

We leave Green Footsteps In 2009 Roskilde Festival focuses on global climate changes. We call the campaign Green Footsteps. By leaving small, green footsteps at Roskilde Festival, we will make a difference and take part in sending a signal to the rest of the world. We have looked both at our own initiatives and asked all of you to contribute to do your part to spare the environment. All of camping area E is created in the name of the climate.

In this programme book, you can read about all what the festival has to offer you this year.

SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMME This programme is produced with care for the environment. This implies that we have used recycled paper as well as print colours and glue that will not cause problems in the recycling process. Furthermore, the printing house satisfies all requirements of minimising waste volumes and emission-intensive substances.

LEAVE A GREEN FOOTSTEP AT THE FESTIVAL

PHOTO: JACOB DALL

LEAVE A GREEN FOOTSTEP AT THE FESTIVAL In the end of 2009, all countries of the world meet up at UN’s climate conference COP15 in Copenhagen. The goal is to make an ambitious global deal for reduction of CO 2 . And we must act fast. Already today, climate changes are a reality in many parts of the world – and according to the scientists there is no prospect that things will get better. On the contrary.

Therefore, the Danish attitude is clear – we must create a sustainable development for our planet. In this respect, the world’s politicians play a great part and carry an ever greater responsibility.

But the transition to a green and sustainable development, which the world needs, is not only made by politicians. Everybody can make an effort – and we, who are lucky to live in the rich and most consuming part of the world, have a special responsibility. Each and everyone of us.

6

Therefore, it pleases me to see that Roskilde Festival has given the festival-goers the opportunity to take up the climate challenge themselves.

Of couse, the amplifiers should be hot and the drinks cold. But Green Footsteps gives every festival-goer the opportunity – both prior to, during and after Roskilde Festival – to take steps towards a better environment and a better climate.

Green Footsteps helps to emphasise that each step counts.

Have a great festival!

Connie Hedegaard Danish Minister for Climate and Energy

Green Footstep Fact: 4 out of 10 Danes do not believe that climate changes are man-induced. Among the festivalgoers, only 4 out of 100 share this position.

Green Footstep Fact: All of the festival’s posters, flyers as well as this programme book are printed on eco-labelled/Swan-labelled recycled paper. Toilet paper is also eco-labelled.

WHAT IS NEW AT ROSKILDE ’09 PHOTO: JENS DIGE/ROCKPHOTO

WHAT IS NEW AT ROSKILDE ’09 Here is a selection of new things and initiatives at Roskilde Festival.

Exchange of tickets to wristbands The audience can exchange tickets to wristbands in Copenhagen and Roskilde before the entrances open. Again this year, we have established a waiting area by the entrances where we welcome the numerous impatient festival-goers who arrive even before the festival opens.

Programme book and band schedule – separate prints Because of the possibility to exchange tickets to wristbands earlier, the programme book and the band schedule are now parted in two different publications in order for the band schedule to include all the latest additions.

8

New areas We have to adjust our area planning on a running basis in accordance with the development of the gravel pit. This year’s festival map shows that some areas are closed down while others are new – and our use of the areas will vary from

last year. Generally, we have aimed at keeping the parking areas farthest away from and the camping areas as close to the festival site as possible.

Closure of gates Festival-goers who have been at Roskilde before will notice that the gravel pit in the middle of camping East has expanded to the north. This implies that gates 8 and 9 between the camping site and the festival site are closed. From camping East you can only use gates 7 and 10.

Paid parking The parking area between Køgevej and Vor Frue Hovedgade (just by entrance East) is converted into a paid parking area. It costs DKK 300-350 per car to use the area during the entire festival period. All other parking areas are free of charge.

WHAT IS NEW AT ROSKILDE ’09 PHOTO: THOMAS KJÆR

Service centres become CITY centres The two service centres at camping East and West have now been fused with an agora so that more service offers and functions are located in one place. Therefore, the centres have changed names to CITY centre East and CITY centre West. The locations are the same as last year.

Pharmacy open all eight days It is now possible to use the pharmacy during all eight festival days. In the warm-up period, the pharmacy is located at CITY centre East, and during the four music days the pharmacy is located next to the first aid in the area east of the Astoria stage.

Way around the Oval We have opened a new passageway east of the Orange Stage, that leads you around the relaxation oasis the Oval and makes it easier to get to the Lounge stage.

Lounge has moved The stage for chill-out music has moved into a new building. Lounge can be found in the stabling just east of the Oval.

Get A Tent moves a step We have moved out the parking areas in favour of the camping areas – and Get A Tent has therefore moved a step closer to camping East.

Road names 6th Street and Back Alley are just some of the place indications which mark the main roads at the festival area. See all the names on the map in the back.

Cinema upgraded Roskilde Cinema has in recent years become increasingly popular, and we have therefore expanded to 900 seats. Measured in seats, Roskilde Cinema thereby becomes the second largest cinema in Denmark.

HUMANITARIAN FOCUS / GREEN FOOTSTEPS TEKST

FOR A FAIR CLIMATE DEAL DEAL Leave Green Footsteps and strike a blow for the climate With the climate campaign Green Footsteps, Roskilde Festival has taken an earnest look at climate-friendly initiatives in 2009.

During the spring, the audience has had the opportunity to leave Green Footsteps and show that environment and climatefriendly initiatives can be made in easy and fun ways. Naturally, we will also act in a climate-friendly manner during the festival – and we have planned lots of opportunities to strike a blow for the climate.

Be climate-friendly at Roskilde Festival and win!

Everywhere at the festival you can leave climate-friendly Green Footsteps. Be climate-friendly and participate in the competition for cool prizes. The more Green Footsteps you leave, the greater chance you have of winning. You find information about the competition at all places where you can leave GreenFootsteps.

Look after the Green Footsteps logo!

Green Footsteps - Act for a Fair Climate Deal Climate changes is a tough reality today in many ofthe world’s poorest countries. Roskilde Festival and DanChurchAid encourage you to show the politicians ofthe world that we are ready to help the world’s poorest tackle the climate changes. Leave Green Footsteps and sign for a fair climate deal on a Go-Card postcard.

Read more on p. 63.

All Green Footsteps and signatures will be handed over to the politicians at COP15 as a clear statement that Roskilde Festival and the audience can and will make a difference.

Take a shower with wind and sun By the lake you can take a shower that is running on wind and solar cell power. The technology is the same as the one employed in Malawi, thanks to festival-goers’ extra donation when they purchased their ticket. Here the water is used for irrigating fields so that poor farmers can harvest regardless of rainfall.

Green food benefits the environment This year we have many more food stalls with 100 % organic food, and the range of vegetarian dishes is much larger. Both are alternatives that have the least possible impact on the environment. If you get hungry, then go for the dishes with a small green foot on the sign. Thereby, you will always choose the climate-friendly alternative and leave a Green Footstep.

Sort waste in Climate Community Waste sorting is important for the reutilization of our resources. In Climate Community you can sort your waste in various fractions which will afterwards be reutilized. However, nothing is waste before it has been used out.

You can hand in your usable camping equipment which will be sent to Belarus where it will help deprived children. Read more on p. 67.

Join in on the climate beat What do you say to a sustainable concert with environment-friendly LED lighting and screens while you are eating an organic sausage with everything and enjoying a cup of fresh Fairtrade coffee or an organic cocktail? Or how about hanging out in the large sitting installation with rainwater reception and solar cell lighting? Drop by Odeon which this year has been made into a Sustainable Stage and which for the third year in a row is a truly sustainable area.

Have you talked to your refund collector today?

Donate your refund to the 1000 refund collectors wearing turquoise vests, and support DanChurchAid’s climate-related projects in the Bengal where the everyday life of millions of people is affected by the climate changes. The refund collectors are happy to give your camp a turquoise bag so you can support a worthy cause. Every bag with cans, bottles etc. you hand over at one of the turquoise stalls in the CITY centres counts as a Green Footstep. Remember that there is refund on all containers you drink from.

Roskilde Festival’s own Green Footsteps Naturally, Roskilde Festival also focuses on how the festival can act in a climate-friendly manner.

Therefore, we have started some initiatives that will decrease the festival’s CO2 emission. Roskilde Festival works persistently on lowering power consumption – and the festival’s consumption is covered by green power as we are getting windmill power from Vattenfall. We have also put several of our volunteers on bikes and thereby cut down on the number of rental cars by 10 %.

After the festival, we are doing a CO2 calculation where we – besides power and transportation – look at how we succeeded in minimising the usage of water bottles and increasing the consumption of vegetarian dishes.

HUMANITARIAN FOCUS / GREEN FOOTSTEPS

Recharge your mobile – work the pedals Climate Community at camping area E is Roskilde Festival’s climate-friendly agora in 2009, which flex the green muscles down to the last detail. At the Climate University, the arena is taken by freegans, social critics and specialists who contribute to the climate debate. If you work the pedals on our exercise bikes, you can recharge your mobile, blow up your air mattress or cool your six-pack. Boycott spring water, eat organic and participate in urban gardening with degradable balloons, trade in your sleeping bag for a bottle of booze or do the climate limbo.

ROSKILDE CATHEDRAL

About Roskilde More than 1000 years ago, the Vikings established a trading post that developed into a major town, Roskilde, which was one of the most important places in northern Europe in the medieval period.

Today, Roskilde is rich in historical and cultural sights and attractions. In the beautiful Cathedral, the kings and queens of Denmark lie buried. Roskilde Fjord can be experienced on board a Viking ship or one of the modern vessels.

The harbour hums with activity, and here, too, lies the former gasworks which is now an art gallery and a workshop for art craftworkers. In the city centre, you find a pedestrian precinct as well as market squares with plenty of commercial life.

KEEP YOUR FESTIVAL CLEAN / BEER FOR GARBAGE

KEEP YOUR FESTIVAL CLEAN Each year we spend huge sums of money on cleanup after the festival. We would much rather spend the money on music and donations for charity. Therefore, we ask all festival-goers to lend a hand.

Keep your camp clean If everyone makes sure to keep their camp clean, we are already well on the way. Use the red garbage bags which are handed out by the service guards, and which you can pick up free of charge at all service towers. Put filled garbage bags in the garbage containers which are found at all service towers.

Throw out instead of abandoning When you leave the festival, we ask you to take all your things with you. If there are things that you do not want to take home and which cannot be recycled, then please put them in the nearest garbage container. It is always better to throw out instead of just abandoning at the camping area. You can also donate useful camping equipment. Read more on p. 67.

GET BEER FOR YOUR GARBAGE In collaboration with our main sponsor, we hand out cold Tuborg beer in return for each full garbage bag we receive in our garbage collection competition.

From Thursday 2 July to Saturday 4 July at 12.00 - 15.00, we run competitions to find the camps that can collect the most garbage. Great prizes are up for grabs, and we announce a winner every day.

Compete for access to Orange Stage The camp that hands in most full garbage bags from Thursday to Saturday wins backstage access for the entire camp (max 6 persons) to Orange Stage.

16

If you want to make an extra effort for the environment, you can hand in sorted garbage in the Climate Community. We ask you to take larger batteries home with you or leave them at the entrances or in the Climate Community – it is an expensive garbage fraction to clean up.

Each garbage bag is a lot It is not only about collecting and handing in most garbage bags. Each garbage bag counts – even if you are only handing in three. For each bag you hand in you get a lot, and after each daily competition we draw lots for tickets to Roskilde Festival 2010.

How to join the competition The competitions take place at different agoras from day to day. Look for more info in the festival newspaper Orange Press and via our SMS service. So tell your friends and compete for the environment.

Green Footstep Fact: In 2008 the audience collected 27 tons of garbage in the ‘Tuborg for trash’ campaign – where a filled garbage bag could be exchanged to a cold beer.

Green Footstep Fact: The total standby energy consumption of Roskilde Festival’s guests in their homes during the festival week corresponds to all the energy that Roskilde Festival itself consumes during the festival week. Remember to switch off standby electricity!

MORE THAN MUSIC AGORAS The camping area is divided into neighbourhoods with the agora at their centres. An agora not only offers communal barbecue, bonfire, mobile phone charging and free luggage storage. A number of agoras also invite you to take part in nutty, bubbling and odd activities during the four warm-up days before the music starts. Find your favourite agora and read about the exciting events on the following pages. You can see all agora locations on the map at the back.

Agora B – Skate Roskilde Skate offers a fantastic mix of street art, BMX, skate and hip hop, so you are guaranteed an experience that draws on all senses.

At Agora B you can also participate in graffiti workshops. Read more about Roskilde Skate on p. 38.

Agora C – Movement Be sent back to school when Roskilde Festival rings out for the long break. In the school yard at Movement, you will not only find a gi-

ant ping-pong table with room for more than 30 people but also bicycle tube football, rope skipping and hulahoop rings. There are daily competitions – with prizes for the cleverest at the agora.

Sex, sand and sauna

No school yard is complete without a sand box – neither is ours. Come join the competition in creating the craziest sandcastle of the year while your friends are practicing slack line or pole dancing, receiving Cuban dancing lessons

under expert guidance or sex education with a twist. And meet them afterwards in the agora’s flagship: a genuine unisex sauna. It should be interesting.

Agora E – Climate Community Live greenly, eat greenly, drink greenly and act greenly in Climate Community. We offer entertaining and informative activities that make your festival – and your everyday life, not least – more climate-friendly. Read more on p. 23.

Agora M – Expression Roskilde has always been the stronghold of opinions. At Agora M – Expression it is all about you and your expressions. During the warmup days, you can return fire at anything with words as well as actions.

You can learn new body techniques and old circus tricks in Innercirq’s workshop. Learn the fundamental techniques of air and floor acrobatics with everything from trapez to Chinese pole and line dancing. Or how about a good round of couple acrobatics for you and your special someone? At night, the new circus performers take over the stage to show off.

It’s all about love 5 Roskilde Festival is also about love, and with our own Chapel of Love we will turn Expression upside-down in order to give you the chance of declaring your love to everything under the sun.

MORE THAN MUSIC CLIMATE COMMUNITY Roskilde Festival’s climate-friendly oasis.

For the first time in the festival’s history, it has been possible to reserve a spot at the camping area – but only if you have acted in an environmental-friendly way in your everyday-life – and proved it, that is.

The area is called Climate Community and is located at CITYcentre West. The vision is to challenge you on the climate issue and show you how you can help make a difference.

Green power, food and drinks and activities In Climate Community, the key words are recycling, sustainable energy, local produce and ecology. We therefore use LED lighting and recycled materials – and our technical equipment is powered by CO 2 neutral electricity delivered

by Climate Community’s own generator.

Now you can also take part in being environmental-friendly at Roskilde Festival. So if your stomach is rumbling or if there is a drought in your throat, satisfy your hunger or quench your thirst at Soupanatural where all produces are organic and have not been transported from Farawayistan.

You can also explore the Green Market. This is a rallying point for a number of green NGOs

that will each present you with alternative approaches to the climate challenge. Here you can participate in activities and walk away both greener and wiser.

Green teaching at the Climate University In order to provide answers as to what climate changes really are and what we can do to stop them, Climate Community has created its own Climate University. Here experts and activists will come with their takes on a CO 2 -neutral everyday life. Among other, you can meet the freegan who collects food in waste containers, the journalist who fills the columns with environment-related material, and the professor from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which – together with Al Gore – won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

Rock museum’s fan centre The Danish Museum of Rock Music has created a fan centre where music fans can meet up crosswise of idols. Meet other fans in the rock museum’s chill-out, admit your wildest fan experiences in the confession box, see mini exhibition about fans at Roskilde, read youth magazines from the 60s and listen to Roskilde concerts through the years with Roskilde Rewind.

Come and tell us what you think should be part of Denmark’s coming rock museum.

Try the wildest gear or record your own music My First Record Label brings specially designed guitars for you to play, and the local association Råstof Roskilde and 4sound continue last year’s spectacular success with a mobile recording studio with state-of-the-art gear. You will of course also get a CD with your song – with professional print on the disc.

Shoot at spacecrafts with sci-fi guitar At the Technical University of Denmark they have been engaged in obscure experiments

over winter, and the result is a special version of the cult retro game Space Invaders where the joystick has been substituted by a guitar! The audience can follow on screen while you gun down spacecrafts in true rock’n’roll style. There will naturally be prizes for the winners – among others, Fender has donated four guitars.

Send your mobile photos with the text orange

by MMS to 1204 (only phones with Danish service providers) and get them blown up on the central photo tower for everyone to watch.

Here you can share your best Kodak moments with the rest of the world and see snapshots from all corners of the festival.

Street art 5

Street art moves out into the ploughlands when some of Denmark’s most original young artists demonstrate what they can do in the disciplines bead work, paste ups, stencils and much more.

Do not let your fantasy go to waste between concerts but come by and take part in the fun.

Information on the works will be available via smart codes.

park is a playground for people with an inner Tetris architect and for everyone who just want to build and be creative.

Cities on Speed

More than half of the earth’s population lives in big cities. And the number is rising. The urban age is upon us. Have a foretaste of the future which is already a reality for citizens in the world’s biggest mega cities. Cities on Speed hits Denmark in the autumn of 2009 with films and sharp-edged angles.

Footbag and flash mobs

There is nothing but winners in footbag, also known as football without goalkeepers. Come try it – and do not let yourself be distracted if people are flash mobbing and everyone around you suddenly freeze.

roots of the trees. At night time, the trees are in bloom and the crowns will become crystals full of light. Written words combine the invisible root net which in all conceivable ways challenge your fantasy. Take a walk in the park’s Dogvilleinspired confusion and experience an artificial nature even crazier than von Trier’s phobias.

Deep Storage Art provocateur Kristian von Hornsleth encourages everyone to give a drop of blood. All drops are encapsulated and lowered into an 11 kilometres deep oceanic trench so that future beings can find them and – based on the DNA of the drops – re-create Roskilde ‘09. The art project Deep Storage takes shape as a large asymmetrical, star-shaped coffin. Find it by the Astoria stage.

Activism

Art or crime? The creative fight over the common city space is a reminder that the space, which belongs to us all, is in reality shaped by a normality monopoly. Activists from Copenhagen’s underground are on the spot and challenge with colours and stripes – you are allowed to touch the art works.

Astoria Park 5 The great plains outside the Astoria tent is planted with 10 crystallic trees uniting Astoria’s intimacy with the rest of the site. At day, the trees cast comfortable shades where you can unwind, flourish, wither and bicker at the

The Danish Refugee Council installation at Odeon 5 The Danish Refugee Council focuses on the consequences of climate change for the world’s refugees with an in all ways sustainable installation outside the Odeon stage. From hammocks with a view of the stage to giant pillows in several levels, up to 150 people can relax, shake a leg or get a portion of sun-heated relief aid porridge and a glass of pure rain water.

Follow the light from the six-metre-tall water tower at the centre and experience for yourself how the combination of recycled materials and top-modern technology can help some of the most exposed people in the world.

PHOTO: MARIE JOENSEN

Hammocks at Pavilion 5 Lay back in one of our hammocks and take a nap! Or just rest your tied stumps in the sunshine. The Pavilion area is arranged with lovely hammocks – for lazy cats with sore paws.

Displacement Pavilion AVPD is behind the installation Displacement Pavilion which this year fills the area behind the grandstand at Orange Stage. The work takes its starting point in the constant movement of people – and through perception distortion, the installation takes the audience out of seemingly new exits. At night, the work appears as a luminous object where dancing shadows create a striking centre for the area. A postmodern mirror cabinet for the sight-disturbed festival-goer.

The green Ferris wheel Get a romantic overview in our green Ferris wheel. It runs 100 % on renewable energy – and to get your turn you have to help generate power for the wheel. After you have pedaled on custom-made bicycles, you get access to the gondolas and a lounge area with bar. You find the Ferris wheel behind the grandstand – and from the top you can enjoy the concerts playing on the Orange Stage and get an overview of the entire festival from 30 metres up in the air.

Flux-photography Denmark’s craziest photo group in 2009 is called Flux-photography. Find their mobile workshop at the camp site or check out their style in their outdoor gallery at the festival site.

PHOTO: MARIE JOENSEN

Executive producers 5 The beloved and notorious barbershop fourpiece will be touring the festival site, spreading the message about More Than Music. Last year, the audience rewarded the singing voices with lots of drinks – so open a beer if you see these candy boys in straw hats near your camp. Their singing only gets better when they are drunk.

Social Gaming 5 Seek out your inner gamer and join Roskilde eSport’s 300 m 2 big interactive social gaming tent behind the grandstand at the festival site.

In the social gaming tent you can compete with and against festival-goers on PC and consol in everything from action, sports and music games – and it all takes place in futuristic surroundings inspired by some of the world’s greatest gaming tournaments.

MORE THAN MUSIC ROSKILDE CINEMA Roskilde Cinema is the festival’s oasis where you can fall back in the soft seats or get right out on the edge to some of the year’s best and wildest films. This year, spiced up with sneak premiers and a handful of ‘only at Roskilde’ experiences. The entrance is of course free of charge.

69 In 2007, the squatter house Ungdomshuset on Jagtvej 69 in Copenhagen was cleared by the police. Subsequently, violent riots broke out in the streets of Copenhagen. This documentary film follows the young people’s fight from the inside during the last six months. 69 is a film about youth, rebellion and radicalization.

Age of Stupid Nordic premiere Engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining. Age of Stupid is the best film so far on the climate issue. The responsibility is unmistakably assigned. Come and find out if you are part of the problem or part of the solution to the climate problems.

BRONSON

30

Bronson Meet Britain’s most violent man – better known as Charles Bronson – in Nicolas Winding Refn’s

newest film. It is a personal portrait of a violence-powered psychopath – a laboured and stylistically consistent violence cabaret with a great soundtrack.

BURN AFTER READING

Burn After Reading The Coen brothers’ absurdly funny spy comedy in which Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand shine as the foolhardy fitness centre employees who try to blackmail a former CIA agent and get into quite a mess.

The Children Two families celebrate the Christmas holidays in the country with their blended children. Yet, slowly the children start behaving in a strange and ruthless manner, and the holiday develops into an extraordinary nightmare of the worst kind. The Children is by far the creepiest scary movie for years.

FATSO

Fatso Humour of the worst kind. There is plenty of pizza-eating, masturbating and day-dreaming on the way to a place in Guinness World Records. It is not funny – it is hysterical!

DEAD SNOW

Dead Snow Norwegians fighting Nazi zombies is always worth a trip to the cinema. Get ready for some blood-red snow.

Gone with the Woman The screen adaptation of Erlend Loe’s debut novel is a wonderfully funny, Norwegian comedy which ironically portrays a young man’s troubles in love. It is about, a.o., the therapeutic thing about a blue pool, about having sex wearing a diver’s mask and about a much needed Parisian affair.

MORE THAN MUSIC / ROSKILDE CINEMA

The Dark Knight Watch last year’s absolute action roar! It was fully deserved that Heath Ledger won an Oscar for the role of the cruelly evil and anarchistic Joker in this adrenaline rush and intense nightmare vision.

DE VILDE HJERTER

De vilde hjerter (the wild hearts) A group of young lads go off on their mopeds.

And you are going with them. On the way, they explore manhood, brotherhood and freedom – where men want to be men and dreams are to be realised.

D.I.Y. Film Club D.I.Y. Filmklub has moved from Copenhagen to Roskilde Cinema ’09. They show homemade films – from the documentary genre to crackedup B-screen films with slime-dripping zombies or perhaps raw chicken speared with baseball bats. If you want to watch the film world get smacked around, then come and curl your toes to our show. Do It Yourself.

HUSH LITTLE BABY

Hush Little Baby Four girls on rehab run away from an outing with their treatment home. During their escape, they are forced to take responsibility for their own lives. What starts as a leap of fun ends as a revenge rampage and unravelling of the girls’ dark pasts.

The Inglorious Bastards Here is the original that Quentin Tarantino has just remade, and which competed in Cannes Film Festival this year. The film is absolute worth watching before Tarantino’s remake is on the screens.

31

MORE THAN MUSIC / ROSKILDE CINEMA

JCVD Jean-Claude Van Damme is back! The star returns to Brussels but ends up a hostage in a failed post office robbery. JCVD is not the traditional kickboxing film but full of suspense and self-irony in true hostage style. Van Damme Camp hosts a smack-punching party after the film.

years. Let the Right One in is horribly original and entertaining.

Man on Wire Now that is how to cut a documentary film! The story about Philippe Petit’s incredible and illegal tightrope walking between the twin towers in New York is told in a way that makes you alternately bite your nails and laugh out loud.

JOURNEY TO SATURN

Journey to Saturn Go to Saturn with Per, Arne and Jamil – aka Danish comedians Casper Christensen, Frank Hvam and Ali Kazim – on a space journey to the satirical universe. The team behind the Danish animated film Terkel in Trouble is back – and now joined by Johnny Margrethe, Anders Fogh and Jesus!

The Last Joint Venture Hippie commune, free love and Afghan furs.

The two Norwegian lads Carl and Robert lead the sweet stoner life when they get an irresistible offer of 45 kilos of Nepalese hash. This kicks off an action-filled trip through Oslo’s underworld in this hysterically funny hippie film!

MAN OOMAN

Man Ooman It is not only with violence that they battle for territory in Jamaica. It can also be done in a cocktail of sexually very explicit and aggressive dancehall culture. The sexes fight for the power in this juicy documentary which can teach you a dance step or two. After the showing, DJ Rosforth will play up to a dance.

Pusher The first Pusher film has been remade in London with Indian actors. Come find out what Franke is called in hindu.

PUSSY SOUP

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

32

Let the Right One in One of the best vampire films ever – and absolutely the best Scandinavian film in many

Pussy Soup This epic masterpiece sets new standards for how crazy Japanese films can get. The entertainment value is at least as great as the financial crisis. Come laugh yourself half to death.

Sauna A historical horror film, which in the most subtle and scary way shows the Finnish sauna culture. The film is set in the year of 1595 when the disputes about the delineation of borders between Finland and Russia spread into the otherwise so cosy saunas.

also pops up. And what follows is a true spanish drama! Ironic, warm and lovable Woody Allen flick at its best.

WALL-E

TERRIBLY HAPPY

Terribly Happy The young police officer from Copenhagen Robert is transferred to a job as substitute village constable in a small town in the southern part of Denmark. Yet, the unwritten rules which govern the town face him with bigger challenges than he had imagined. Country idyll and taking the law into one’s own hands at full speed.

Wall-E Pixar’s poetic judgment day story about the charming robot Wall-E who in entertaining ways draws the frightening consequences of man’s destructive ways of life. Animation film at its best!

WALTZ WITH BASHIR

TOKYO GORE POLICE

Tokyo Gore Police Perhaps the bloodiest film since Peter Jackson’s Braindead. The blood drips down the screen while mad Japanese people demonstrate that there is a grotesquely frightening insanity hidden behind their polite exterior.

34

Vicky Cristina Barcelona Scarlett Johansson and Rebecca Hall are on vacation in Barcelona. They are both seduced by and fall in love with Javier Bardem who still loves his suicidal ex-wife Penelope Cruz who

Waltz with Bashir You sit mesmerised all the way through this animated documentary film which investigatively aims at covering the traumas that war undeniably causes. With a tremendous soundtrack and breathtakingly beautiful visuals, we are taken back to the brutal massacre that took place in Lebanon in ’82.

MORE THAN MUSIC SKATE Roskilde Skate’s impressive 2500 m 2 big area will again this year be the site for acrobatic air manoeuvres when some of the world’s best skateboard and BMX riders throw their bodies – and gear – around above a hip hop booming skate stage.

You also have the opportunity of challenging gravity – if you dare! Otherwise, enthusiastic MCs and DJs always stand ready to challenge your hand signs and homeboys when they fill up the place with heavy rhythms from the universe of hip hop.

Roskilde Graffiti 2009: 10 years of big city fence confetti When the festival site opens Thursday 2 July, it is not only musical experiences that awaits the audience. This year marks the 10 year anniversary of graffiti at Roskilde Festival. This is celebrated with an international line-up of

38

world-class artists who have decorated more than 1000 metres of fence.

Workshop

Graffiti is not only for the few. If you have a hankering for expressing yourself and are game for taking on spray cans, hand ‘tags’ and painting masks, you will in 2009 daily get the opportunity in Roskilde Festival’s graffiti workshop at Agora B around the skate ramp. From Sunday 28 June to Wednesday 1 July from noon till night, you can be guided and misguided by Roskilde Festival’s graffiti girls.

Roskilde Festival’s graffiti project is carried out in cooperation with Molotow (www.molotow.com).

Remember to play nice at Roskilde Festival and keep the painting to the workshop.

Green Footstep Fact: 55 % of Roskilde Festival’s guests arrive with public transportation.

PHOTO: NANNA KREUTZMANN /ROCKPHOTO

Our lifestyle is instrumental in the climate changes which the poorest people of the world feel the consequences of today. We face new challenges and must act now. It is therefore important that you – besides leaving Green Footsteps – give your signature for political initiative and action when the politicians of the world meet at the climate conference in Copenhagen this December.

We, in the rich part of the world, must take responsibility for the climate changes we have created ourselves.

We therefore demand that: s $ENMARK AND OTHER RICH COUNTRIES SHOULD ENSURE substantial and additional financial means to the world’s poorest countries to help them tackle the climate changes s THE MONEY MUST NOT BE TAKEN FROM THE EXISTING development aid

FOR A FAIR CLIMATE DEAL Grab a Go-Card postcard, sign it and hand it over to a signature collector at the windmill bath by the lake, at Sustainable Stage or in Climate Community at camping area E. Smile, say cheers and give your signature for a fair climate deal. Each Green Footstep and each signature counts.

HUMANITARIAN REFUND COLLECTION

SIGN UP FOR A FAIR CLIMATE DEAL

DONATE YOUR REFUND TO A WORTHY CAUSE

LOOK FOR THE TURQUOISE COLOUR 1000 humanitarian refund collectors are ready to receive your refund for the benefit of climate-related projects in the Bengal – an area in Bangladesh and India seriously threatened by the climate changes.

You can donate your refund by giving it to the teams of refund collectors in the turquoise vests. The refund collectors will be happy to give your camp a turquoise bag for your refund, so you can support a worthy cause. Bags filled with cans, bottles etc. can be handed over at the turquoise stalls in the CITY centres or directly to the refund collectors. Turquoise refund boxes are placed all over the festival site, and there are turquoise refund hatches at the beer stalls as well. At the CITY centres there are turquoise stalls where you can hand in your refund and learn more about the humanitarian project you support. Remember: there is refund on everything you drink from!

“Green Footsteps – Act for a Fair Climat e Deal” and the humanitarian refund collection form a cooperation between Roskilde Festival and relief agency DanChurchAid.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

At the Orange Stage, there are two entrances to the four sections in front.

If you want to go to sections B or D, you have to use the entrance east of the stage. The entrance to sections A and C is west of the stage.

SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR YOU AND THE FESTIVAL Roskilde Festival’s goal is to give everyone the best possible festival experience. We create space for you to enjoy yourself, but it is important that everyone – staff and guests alike – do their part to keep the festival safe.

Follow all safety instructions and take an active part in ensuring that you – and everyone around you – have a positive concert experience.

The security guidelines for Roskilde ‘09 have been reviewed and evaluated in order to eliminate and minimise risks. We address safety, not only on and in front of the festival stages.

We carefully review all elements of the festival and follow national and international developments and expertise very closely.

Three areas where you can help: s 0AY ATTENTION TO THE SECURITY COMMUNICATION s 0AY ATTENTION TO YOUR FRIENDS AND THOSE CLOSE BY s )F NEEDED SEEK HELP WITH STAFF MEMBERS wearing vests (crowd safety personnel)

64

Information on your safety Screens are used by all stages to provide special information during concerts. It is important that you are aware of this information and follow any instructions given to you and your friends.

The information is managed by the Security Manager of the stage, who follows the situation on and in front of the stage. A significant source of safety information during concerts is video surveillance which is used to cover several of the festival areas, including many of the stages.

Safety at the stages Pit systems are installed in front of the two largest stages, the Orange Stage and Arena. The pit systems are safety-devised constructions that use specially developed modules to establish a safe concert experience right in front of the stage.

Arrive in good time prior to the concert at the entrances located at both sides of the stage.

We open the pits as soon as we have cleaned them following the previous concert. You are not allowed to remain in the area to wait for the next concert.

Light signals are also used at the entrance to the Astoria tent. Green light signals that you can enter the tent. Red light signals that the tent is full and that you cannot get in at the moment.

Follow the instructions of our crowd safety personnel in the orange vests, and work actively to insure that you and everyone around you enjoy a positive concert experience.

Please avoid: s #ROWD SURFING PROHIBITED AT ALL STAGES AND results in immediate expulsion from the festival) s (UMAN CHAINS YOU CAN ENDANGER THE SAFETY OF others by creating unrest in the crowd) s 2USHING OR MOSHING TOWARDS THE STAGE THIS CAN create waves among the audience and pose a risk of someone falling down) s 3ITTING ON SHOULDERS THIS RUINS THE CONCERT FOR those behind you)

Remember that cups with water are handed out at all stages.

Safety at camping It is important to follow the directions of the service personnel at the camping area. Their job is to make the camping areas comfortable and safe for everyone, and it is very important that you cooperate. The service towers located at the camping area are staffed with service personnel whose job is to help festival guests and service guards in the area and keep an eye out for possible fires or theft. The towers are designated by single initials at the top, which correspond to the agora they are placed at. For example, service tower C is located at Agora C. Use the service towers as guideposts and points of orientation as you navigate around the festival area.

Bonfires and camp fires Due to fire hazard, the use of grill and primus is limited to the cooking areas at the agoras. It is permitted here – and only here – to build campfires at the specially designated campfire areas.

Many guests are eager to sit around a fire on the last night of the festival. Use the campfire areas at the agoras if you want a little warmth on this night – but do not start a fire yourself.

Theft Unfortunately, many thieves visit Roskilde Festival. Look after your belongings and lock up your tent with a padlock, so your neighbours can see if your tent is being visited by its rightful owner.

Always use the luggage storage facilities for storing your valuables. They are available free of charge (read more about luggage storage on p.

55). All thefts should be reported to the police at Maglegårdsvej 8.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

Light signals are located at both entrances, which indicate when the area is open. Green light signals that admission is open. Red light signals that the pit is full, which means that you have to experience the concert from outside the pit.

Blue vests Medically trained personnel are located all around the festival area. They are readily identifiable by their blue vests and are on hand to provide aid to those who may be dehydrated or under the influence of drugs.

Remember: general rules of society about alcohol and other intoxicants also apply at Roskilde Festival.

Take care of yourself and those around you Remember to sleep, eat and drink enough to provide your body with the rest and energy it needs. Contact the festival staff if you feel unwell or if you notice others who may be in need of help.

More information on festival safety can be found in the pamphlet Be Safe at the Festival which is available at the entrances and at the information office at the festival site.

PROTECT YOUR EARS / SOCIAL WORKERS

PROTECT YOUR EARS We wish to provide you with the best possible concert experience – also in terms of sound.

We rent the very best audio equipment, hire the best sound techs, hang the loudspeakers high and use many delay systems for maximum coverage. We are in regular dialogue with authorities and sound professionals to produce an optimal sound quality at an acceptable decibel level.

Use earplugs If you hear a ringing tone in your ears following a concert, this is a warning sign that your hearing could soon be exhausted. Remember, the amount of sound that ears can tolerate vary from person to person. So pay attention to your ears and register how they feel when you are at a concert. And use earplugs.

In collaboration with the Oticon Foundation, we have obtained some high quality earplugs.

They are shaped like spruces and lower the sound level while they give you a great live sound. You can buy earplugs in all kiosks, beverage stalls and merchandise stalls. Use earplugs for your ears’ sake.

Did you know: s OF THE TIME THE AUDIENCE MOVE ABOUT IN sound levels under 85 dB, which is the Danish Working Environment Authority’s limit for noise exposure s !T 2OSKILDE &ESTIVAL CONCERTS PROTECT their ears

ROSKILDE FESTIVAL’S SOCIAL WORKERS Roskilde Festival brings special attention to children and young people, and a team of Social Workers – outreaching personnel – are visible around the festival area during the entire festival.

66

The Social Workers are easily recognisable in their white vests, and they will turn to families who come to Roskilde Festival with the primary goal to collect refund. Refund collection is certainly allowed but it must happen under reasonable conditions – and children who roam the festival site late at night will be escorted back to the camping area. Naturally, everyone is welcome at Roskilde Festival – but the rules are that children should not be on their own when it is dark.

Besides watching the children, the Social Workers keep an open eye on the very young festival-goers who consume large amounts of alcohol and/or drugs.

If you see or hear about children or very young people who look like they need help, please contact a Social Worker. you can recognise them on their white vests with ‘Social Worker’ printed on them.

DONATE YOUR CAMPING EQUIPMENT

From scrap to something good – your shit counts!

Don’t you want to take your camping gear back home with you? Then we know someone who would like to have it. But we need your help collecting it.

Each year, great amounts of useful camping equipment are thrown out after Roskilde Festival – even though people in other parts of the world need such items. Therefore, Selva Global collects everything that can help improve everyday life for deprived children in Belarus. This includes tents, clothes, shoes, sleeping bags, mattresses, blankets, tables and chairs.

Selva Global focuses on recycling and wants to be a counterweight to unrestrained overconsumption and massive exploitation of the world’s resources. The purpose is to turn the “trash” and overconsumption into global resources through recycling for sustainable, humanitarian solutions. The mission’s statement is that nothing is waste before it has been used out.

In the light of the resource waste and the environmental impact by throwing out used but useful items and producing new instead, it is obvious to see these problems as each other’s solutions.

Therefore, dear festival-goer, pack up the useful things that you do not want to take home with you and put them in the collection containers that are set up on Sunday 5 July and Monday 6 July by the service towers at the camp site as well as by all the exits. Thereby you will help us help others.

Thanks in advance!

The collection is a cooperation between Roskilde Festival, Selva Global and Dienesmindes Venner.

THINK

Roskilde Festival Against Drugs Taking drugs is dangerous, anti-social and illegal. Drugs cause unpredictable behaviour which may ruin the festival experience for others.

Drugs are illegal at Roskilde Festival – as they are in the rest of Denmark.

As a result, police officers will be present and will handle drug-related offences in accordance with Danish law.

If you see someone who is ill, depressed or afraid – and perhaps under the influence of drugs – please contact a festival employee who will do everything to help the person in question.

For information on the harmful effects of drugs a folder is available at the Festival Site or at the luggage storages at the camp site.

Express your opinion What is your attitude to drugs? Against Drugs badges are available at the information booths around the festival grounds and camping areas.

Our Against Drug film is available on our website for sending to friends.

You can also download music from the Against Drugs film for your mobile phone.

For more information, see www.roskilde-festival.dk under ‘About the festival’.

We hope you enjoy the festival!

STAGE DESCRIPTIONS

STAGE DESCRIPTIONS Roskilde Festival has seven stages on which the many-sided music programme plays out. Read a description of each stage below.

PHOTO: PER LANGE

PHOTO: THOMAS KJÆR

Pavilion / Pavilion Junior The small rock stage at Roskilde Festival.

Pavilion covers everything from frail guitarists to Norwegian heavy metal. The size of the stage makes it an ideal spot to present exciting and relatively unknown bands. Under the name Pavilion Junior, the same stage presents upcoming Scandinavian performers in the course of the festival’s first four warm-up days.

Cosmopol Roskilde’s metropolis.

At Cosmopol you can experience the raw and fragmented atmosphere of a modern city. The music at Cosmopol spans hip hop, dancehall, baile funk, grime, R&B and city-oriented world music. In order to create an ’urban’ atmosphere, Cosmopol seeks to integrate the stage, decorations and the area in front of the stage tent.

Capacity: 2,000 people

Capacity: 6,000 people

Astoria Club stage with intimacy and atmosphere.

Astoria is an attempt to create an intimate stage. Genre is therefore not decisive – but rather to produce a sense of intimacy and closeness between performers and audience.

At night time Astoria transforms into an energetic party club stage.

Odeon Genuine rock club and showcase for talents.

Of all the various stages at the festival, Odeon mostly resembles a genuine music venue or rock club. The stage makes room for exciting and less known bands as well as new talents.

At Odeon you get great concert experiences centred around the rock sound – but there are loads of diversions to other genres.

Capacity: 3,400 people Capacity: 5,000 people

Orange Stage More than 30 years under the canopy.

Orange Stage is the symbol of Roskilde Festival and has been so since 1978. Orange Stage has the capacity for the major acts. Over the years, artists such as Bob Marley, U2, Bob Dylan, Metallica, Radiohead and Red Hot Chili Peppers have played on the stage. Two big screens (50

sq. m) provide a great view of the stage for everyone, and a specially-designed pit system ensures a good and safe concert experience.

Arena Arena-sized concert hall.

Arena provides the frame for the big ‘indoor’ concert experiences where the music best fills out a covered space. Roskilde Festival’s big stage houses all music genres under its great canvas. Names as diverse as the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Aqua have performed on Arena where many have been pleasantly surprised by the intensity of the atmosphere.

Lounge Relaxation and musical breathing space.

Lounge is the place where you can relax to the sounds of chill-out music. The stage is the smallest amongst the festival’s regular stages and it is placed in a big stable building. The floor is covered with sand for you to sprawl in and enjoy the regular DJs or one of the many acts on the alternative stage.

PAVILION JUNIOR 28 JUNE – 1 JULY

PAVILION JUNIOR The Pavilion Junior stage presents Scandinavian upcoming acts. You can experience the bands below during the warm-up days from 28 June to 1 July.

THE 20BELOWS (DK) The 20Belows’ punk rock demonstrates a personal take on the sources of inspiration that include Social Distortion and Ramones.

GIANA FACTORY (DK) The three girls behind Giana Factory started out playing naïve and sweet 60s’ girl pop in the band Cookies. In their new band, the music globe turns more in the direction of the British new wave scene.

GINGER NINJA (DK) The young lads in Ginger Ninja are an obvious acquaintance for everyone who do not see any division between great rock music and a trip to the dance floor.

BABIAN

BABIAN (S) Babian is an extremely unaffected band whose simple Swedish-language garage rock does not stop them from taking a stronghold on the state of the Swedish welfare state.

HARRYS GYM · PHOTO: KJETIL HASSELGAARD

BODEBRIXEN · PHOTO:MADS STIGBORG

72

HARRYS GYM (N) If you are into semi-electronic music, then do not cheat yourself out of a trip to Harrys Gym – a band that with Anne Lise Frøkedal in front owns one of Scandinavia’s great new female voices.

BODEBRIXEN (DK) They play semi-electronic pop music with a sweet pain in the side and lots of handclaps, lalala harmonies and jazz piano.

JOOKS (DK) Jooks has built up a solid and well-tested live show with his well-told everyday hip hop.

CODY (DK) Painful harrowing country music is often best made by people from God’s own country. Yet, Cody prove that Danes are very well capable of the American art.

KELLERMENSCH (DK) The inspiration comes from progressive metal bands such as Neurosis, as Kellermensch works with the same shifts between roars and more melodic vocals.

RUBBERHEAD BANDITZ (DK) These three charming charlatans’ funky punk rock is full of adrenaline, dance appeal and a small touch of camp.

SCAMP (DK) Scamp is ready to continue the terrific metal style of Danish bands such as Hatesphere and Mercenary.

KVELERTAK

KVELERTAK (N) One of Norway’s craziest live experiences right now is called Kvelertak. They combine nihilistic black metal with a fresh flair for rock’n’roll.

TAKO LAKO

THE MEGAPHONIC THRIFT (N) Many already hail them as the best Norwegian live act. The Megaphonic Thrift sound inspired

by American indie icons such as Sonic Youth and Built to Spill.

TAKO LAKO (DK) Tako Lako weds electronica and hip hop with Balkan sounds so that the outcome with sputtering winds and minor chords become Tako Lako’s own humourous and charming freak of nature.

X-X Bandpræsentationer PAVILION JUNIOR 28 JUNE – 1 JULY

KIRA KIRA (ISL) She sculptures musical snow castles, often with help from a little glockenspiel, sparse electronics and Icelandic black magic.

THE TELSTAR SOUND DRONE (DK) They play acid rock in continuation of the genre’s gems from the vinyl era. The Telstar Sound Drone will also appeal to fans of Baby Woodrose and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

MEN AMONG ANIMALS

MEN AMONG ANIMALS (DK) The Danes play highly US-inspired indie pop – but they also add their own devil-may-care energy and Scandinavian charm to the guitardriven songs.

MFMB (S) Their dark-edged electronic rock is perfect for everyone whose inner discoteque is always playing New Order and Depeche Mode.

OPGANG F (DK) Opgang F uses the Danish capital Copenhagen as a main theme in their dark rock songs.

TWINS TWINS (DK) They play indie rock that places itself in the wake of renowned bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Strokes.

VINNIE WHO (DK) Danes are very well capable of playing cool disco. Vinnie Who prove this with their androgynous and sexy pop music.

VON DÜ (DK) The members of Von Dü come from a number of acts on the Danish ska and reggae scene.

Experienced musicians strike up a dance party in back-beat – and with utterly Danish toilet poetry.

BAND PRESENTATIONS 2MANYDJS (BEL) David and Stephen Dewaele play guitar-oriented rock as Soulwax – but they are soon just as famous for their groundbreaking work under the moniker 2manydjs.

2562 (NL) London has been the primary home address of the dark sounds of dub step. This is now changing as new variations and mutations of the bass-heavy music genre pop up here and there. 2562 – named after the artist’s postcode in The Hague – is a good example of this.

The Dutchman’s music contains many elements

that will touch a chord with fans of British bigwigs such as Burial and Benga. Yet, 2562 also goes his own ways. He mixes dub step’s minor chords, cut-up rim shots and dizzying deep bass tones with minimal techno and house so that the end result evokes memories not just of London, but also of Berlin and Detroit.

ADAM TENSTA (S) He has not only been supporting act for Akon, Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z – Adam Tensta’s first album It’s a Tensta Thing is soon to be released internationally after having won several Swedish Grammies and intense airplay in his home country. If one should mention a soul mate to Tensta, Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco would be a qualified guess. Tensta combines his rhymes and electro beats with the same serious message when he talks about everyday life in the ethnically mixed Stockholm concrete suburb from where he has taken his last name. However, the substantial lyrics never weigh down the music. The great lurid 80s production makes Tensta a hip hop act that you can also shake your booty to on the dance floor.

ALAMAAILMAN VASARAT (FIN) How would it sound if Frank Zappa and Mike Patton booked a plane to Serbia and recorded an album? One suggestion could be Alamaailman Vasarat. Well-versed people in the Finnish language will know that the band name means ‘hammers of the underworld’. It sure sounds heavy and dense – and so does the music. Quite impressive considering the fact that the playful Finns play most of it on trombone, saxophone, clarinet, tuba, cello and organ. Alamaailman Vasarat’s music takes place at a locality called Hammer Asia (Vasaraasia in Finnish). This fictitious kingdom is in all seeming full of heavily armed clowns who are chasing their innocent victims to a mix of polka, klezmer, jazz, punk and metal.

Tony Allen’s accurate and funky drumming in Fela Kuti’s court has secured him a chapter in the history books – but Allen is also to be found on today’s music charts, most recently with Damon Albarn’s The Good, The Bad & The Queen.

The almost 70-year-old Nigerian is one of the chief cooks in Afro-beat’s aromatic kitchen. He visits Roskilde Festival, placed behind a nine men strong band – so the barometer points to a smoking hot concert experience from a living piece of African music history.

LILY ALLEN (UK) Forget all about about camera flashes and drinking binges for a moment. Lily Allen deserves attention for her music – songs such as ”Smile” and ”The Fear” will last much longer than the blinking tabloid headlines. Lily Allen conquered cyberspace in 2005. Since then, she has more or less controlled the gossip columns and the charts with her outspoken attitude and inescapable pop songs. It’s Not Me, It’s You is the only 24-year-old Cockney’s second album – and yet she sounds as if the wisdom from a much longer career has appeared right next to the girly charm. With inspiration from R&B, synth pop and ska, Lily Allen creates her own

AMADOU & MARIAM

AMADOU & MARIAM (MALI) So-called world music has long since left its reservation. Amadou & Mariam are a prime example of this. They are among the few who have paved the way for this development. The couple’s latest album – recorded in Mali, Senegal, France and Great Britain – is made in cooperation with Blur’s Damon Albarn, and this summer the two will support Coldplay on their US tour. Africa has rarely sounded as accessible as it does with Amadou & Mariam. Funk, rock, tribal singing and 80s-ish catchy pop are united. This is done with a hit rate that ought

AMON AMARTH (S) Thor, have mercy on us. Amon Amarth is coming. The Swedes play tremendous viking metal created from violent songs about the salty taste of the North Sea, the smell of burned monastery and – of course – the mighty Valhalla where dead warriors meet and have their horns filled with mead. Amon Amarth is one of the most stable and respected names from the Scandinavian metal genre. Their powerful music never falls into sheer kitsch and tomfoolery. The attack from the four Swedes is solid and reliable, also proven on recently released album Twilight of the Thunder Gods. Amon Amarth has growl and heaviness from the blackest death metal, but the Northeners plough the sea with melody, great guitar licks and lots of wind in their sails.

BADDIES (UK) Band of the year in 2009? Baddies could be a qualified guess. At the time of writing they are still a relatively well-kept secret that is whispered about in the corners. Great things are in store for the English band. So an enthusiastic press agrees. The devil-may-care Essex boys lean against the driven and cool beat as found with Queens of the Stone Age, while at the same time they have that unmistakable British attitude known from Arctic Monkeys or Kaiser Chiefs. Plenty of hype is going around in this greedy and forgetful music business. Baddies is one of the names that will stick.

BALSTYRKO (DK) This year’s most exciting new Danish trio could very well be Balstyrko. All three band members have brilliant CVs from hip hop renewers Malk De Koijn, girl popsters JaConfetti and dub duo Melk, respectively. And you can sense their varied backgrounds. The first album from the trinity is a kaleidoscopic magic mirror in which we move from Ane Trolle’s addictive honey voice to Blaes Bukki’s deep semi-talking vocals.

At the same time, the groove is often heavy and laid-back as if Tom Waits were swinging the baton somewhere in the shadows. Balstyrko is an exciting mix of very different types of Danish talent.

In the course of soon five albums, they have looked into the crystal ball and constantly developed their own twisted rave music – which will probably not sound quite normal until year 2090 when the streets are filled with moving pavements. The New Yorker trio’s music is something like a noisy, colour-saturated techno carnival where you first burn the textbook and then dance naked on the ashes.

Bomba Estéreo leads this development. This trio’s hot tribal music contains traces of Jamaican dub, Angolan kuduro and American hip hop, which meet in a cross field of samples, programmings and handplayed percussion. Bomba Estéreo has a charismatic front figure in Liliana Saumet. She is a competent vocalist who unites the many music genres under the same sunny, Colombian flag.

CANCER BATS (CAN) Canada is the USA’s more moderate and peaceful neighbour. Tell that to Cancer Bats.

They play aggressively towards a point on the genre chart where Southern metal, punk rock and hardcore meet. Expect no soothing melodies here.

However, he is kept on his feet by a tight and forceful band that shows no signs of surrender. Cancer Bats take after Henry Rollins and Pantera’s Phil Anselmo when it comes to monstrous rage outlets.

The four Brits draw inspiration from these bands – and they have won over an equally big fan base.

Prepare yourself for highspeed brutality and brilliant handling of their stringed instruments. Demonic Art is the fifth album by the band who has toured intensively both in the US and Europe.

THE DODOS (US) Intense, primitive – but often melodic as well.

With a minimum of instruments, The Dodos manage to make harmonic sounds and insisting rhythmics meet. The duo takes its starting point in percussion-based tribal music, which Animal Collective have also explored on their early albums. The result is naked and psychedelic. Hypnotic drums hammer away under acoustic guitars as if The Dodos had grown up in an Indian reservation instead of on the hilly streets of San Francisco. But The Dodos also know how to write ear-catchers. They prove so several times on the breakthrough album Visiter. They descend from equal parts blues, tribal music and the best American folk singers.

Down plays Southern metal, making the Dixieland flag sway in the wind. Especially the Katrina catastrophe has been a source of inspiration for a new batch of angry songs.

But the productive Dane has a couple of other exciting projects that go farther into the purple haze than what is possible in his popular main outlet. Dragontears is such a sideline. The trio has already put out two albums with psychedelic rock, which sound as if they came into existence in a bubbly tub of euphoriant herbs and heavy smoke.

FIRST AID KIT (S) Help is on the way. First Aid Kit is two teenage sisters who play acoustic music on guitar and piano. Their music is simple, moving and organic as if the girls were sent from the Scandinavian woods to soothe broken hearts for a while.

They broke through with a version of Fleet Foxes’ ”Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” – but the Söderberg sisters are also skilled songwriters themselves. They prove this on the EP Drunken Trees whose naïve, drawn cover is contradicted by the deep wisdom you feel in the girls’ enchanting vocals.

Disco, rave, 80s synths and African-inspired rhythms are component parts in the young band’s Talking Heads-inspired universe. It is hip, sure, but charming and playful. It is never enough for this already experienced band just to pose for the photographers. Friendly Fires are the sound of London’s tireless nightlife that just keeps on going – across the city’s pavements and further into the new millennium.

FRIGHTENED RABBIT (UK) Scotland has some kind of special status when it comes to producing sullen, unsweetened music with its point of reference in the imperfect everyday and love life. Arab Strap and The Twilight Sad are just two examples. Frightened Rabbit joins this arrangement of semi-bitter everyday heroes – and with a twinkle adds fuel to the burning fire of love. Lead singer Scott Hutchison’s candid stories, which are like outcasts of fortune, form the focus with Frightened Rabbit. They are accompanied by a band whose melodic folk rock often gets an extra shot of aggression and distortion when played live.

And they also know how to write great melodies. The songs are often tossed into a hurricane of strange effects and syncopated percussion. Yet, here and there in the smoky world music laboratory, you can glimpse a pop band ready for the charts.

GANGBÉ BRASS BAND (BEN) When you think of West-African music, you rarely see brass wind instruments shine in the sunlight. But Gangbé Brass Band is actually a true steel brass band from Benin, who crosses New Orleans jazz and bebop with West-African traditions such as juju and Afro beat. Many of the members from the eight-piece have learned their skills on the brass wind instruments in military parades – but they are now using them in a renewing union of the city jazz club and West Africa’s dusty desert world.

GET WELL SOON (DE) Konstatin Gropper has single-handedly written, produced and recorded most of his critically acclaimed debut album Rest Now Weary Head! You Will Get Well Soon! – but when playing live a small Balkan orchestra backs him. Gropper writes heartrending songs with motley instrumentation and numerous minor chords that sound like a sunset meeting between Beirut, Radiohead and Tom Waits. Gropper is a 26-year-old philosophy student. But his music rings with a seriousness and wisdom as if he had already experienced a long life of shipwrecks and sudden death.

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM (US) The musical mayor of New Jersey is without a doubt Bruce Springsteen. It is, however, imaginable that he will one day have to hand over the keys to the city to The Gaslight Anthem. Their songs sound as if they were written on the back of a pick-up truck with the yellow stripes on the country roads passing by. At the same time, they get an extra load of coal from today’s punk rock scene so that older fans of The Boss as well as their sons can dance along at the same time.

The four blue-collar lads’ music is for everyone with a hankering for hook-based rock music – unafraid to admit that a big beating heart is hidden behind the oil-stained denim shirt. The Gaslight Anthem is someone to be.

Take Phil Spector, The Jesus and Mary Chain and U2 along on the ride and suddenly you have the sound of Glasvegas. The Scottish band practically sets new records for hype in Britain – which is not a small achievement considering the country’s buzz-stirring music press.

GOJIRA

GOJIRA (FR) Godzilla’s real, Japanese name is Gojira. The earth rumbles as much under your feet when this band is playing as when the legendary film monster conquers the city. The Frenchmen’s heroes are technical bigwigs such as Meshuggah, Opeth and Mastodon. This monster has now grown to be as big and powerful as the role models. Gojira’s recurring themes such as life, ecology and mother earth’s declining sustainability do not blunt as much as a single edge in their music. On the contrary, it seems as if the band here finds its inspiration to their uncompromising but also beautiful death metal.

HANGGAI (CHN) A group of Chinese with Mongolian origin have set out to examine the original sounds from their hinterland before globalisation sucks out the last piece of cultural heritage. That is how Hanggai got started. Mongolia’s old sounds and rhythms transplanted and recultivated in the 21st century. The young musicians have carefully carved into the true historical expression – guttural singing, two-stringed lute and the traditional violin made of horsehair are central ingredients in the music. Lead singer Ilchi used to front the Chinese punk band T9.

In this way you also sense western song structures that form an exciting symbiosis with the unfamiliar expression from the nomad kingdom to the east.

HÅKAN HELLSTRÖM · PHOTO: OLA RINDAL

HÅKAN HELLSTRÖM (S) Gothenburg – and the rest of Sweden, for that matter – has never known anyone like Håkan.

His catchy music draws on English-language icons such as The Smiths, Bruce Springsteen and The Beach Boys. The heartfelt songs are, however, delivered in Swedish, which places the lad with the shrill voice in excellent continuation of the tradition of Swedish ballads. Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg (Don’t grieve for me Gothenburg) was the title of his breakthrough album. Soon every sensitive romantic in Scandinavia owned a copy of this trembling and unquenchable party bomb. Since then, Hellström has become a Scandinavian institution. His concerts are reputed for causing high pulses and broad smiles – with the performers as well as the audience.

HAUSCHKA (DE) Prepared piano is a concept especially connected with American avant-garde composer John Cage. You place an object over or between the strings, thereby making the sound either slightly or radically different. The German soloist Hauschka practises this technique and unites his piano playing with some electronic rhythms, loops and strings – making romantic, alluring tone circles with only few means.

Hauscha’s closest musical relatives are minimalistic composers such as Steve Reich and Max Richter. Like them, he inhabits a place in the genre spectrum where classical music meets avant-garde, electronica and pop.

JON HASSELL

JON HASSELL & MAARIFA STREET (US) The outer space has attracted many musicians – from avant-garde jazz legend Sun Ra to Brian Eno, father of modern, atmospheric ambient music. Jon Hassell is somewhere in the same distant stellar nebula as these musicians. With his effect-laden trumpet at the centre, he gently and carefully explores the far corners of the universe with marvellous and rich atmospheric jazz that draws on both Asian, African and minimalistic composition music. Jon Hassell has influenced an entire generation of artists. The British music magazine Wire even compares his effect on modern music to icons such as The Velvet Underground, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix.

HJALTALÍN (ISL) Pop should sound effortless – as if it had come accidently to its maker on a stroll. Hjaltalín’s songs possess this quality. They play natural folk pop that does not show signs of difficulties in the process of creation. At the same time, the Icelandics’ songs are arranged with a bravura and inventiveness that keep making the audience prick their ears even when they know the songs. Hjaltalín sounds like Sigur Rós if they had left the ice landscapes and joined a gypsy band. The seven-piece uses the fagot, the accordion and the piano to add an idyllic and complex feeling to their songs.

HOT 8 BRASS BAND (US) The past years have been rough on New Orleans. The hurricane Katrina made life even worse in a society already suffering from poverty and crime. Fortunately, the city has orchestras such as Hot 8 Brass Band. A 10 men strong horn ensemble that has attracted wide attention for their insistence on letting music heal the wounds after the disaster – even if three band members have suffered a cruel death in the streets. The music must go on. And it certainly does. Hot 8 Brass Band instil hope and a desire to dance to their funky second line Mardi Gras sounds that draw on every thing from Louisiana’s old music traditions to big city hip hop.

IDA MARIA (N) She has not just made a name for herself through her turbulent live shows where she tumbles around as she surrenders to the music.

Ida Maria can write true hit songs. “Oh My God” and “Better When You’re Naked” have already become well-known signature songs, while “Stella” proves the raw sensitivity that also characterises Ida Maria’s harsh girl’s voice. Scandinavia has got a new songwriter who sends sisterly high fives to Debbie Harry and Courtney Love – while at the same time fighting acts such as Avril Lavigne all the way to the charts.

HUNTSVILLE (N) Norway has its very own scene in experimental jazz, based around the versatile record label Rune Grammofon. Huntsville is one of the most talked about acts from this scene. The trio has a past together in another improvisation ensemble, No Spaghetti Edition, that is much talked about (in the underground). Huntsville brings about a stronger element of composition. The Norwegians still roam in a cross field between jazz, electronica and floating ambient. They are unique – even on the Norwegian experimental scene – by virtue of their usage of rustic American instruments such as the banjo and pedal steel guitar.

I GOT YOU ON TAPE (DK) Without Jacob Bellens’ smokey, sonorous vocals, I Got You On Tape would be a significantly different band. The four-piece from Copenhagen has one of Denmark’s most distinct and expressive vocalists in front. A voice that provides the proper melancholic frame for the other band members’ melodic pop music. I Got You On Tape navigates perfectly between accessibility and introversion without losing the compass. Soulful, advanced pop music from the long winters’ Scandinavia.

I’M FROM BARCELONA

I’M FROM BARCELONA (S) Emanuel Lundgren – front man and artistic driving force in I’m From Barcelona – is not a man who believes in small scales. His giant orchestra plays indie pop with a number of winds, synthesizers, accordion and choir singers. In spite of a crew that could fill one and a half football team, the sound is often light and carefree in that special way that you have to come from red wooden houses and green woods in order to master. Lundgren’s songwriting has that certain charm and melodic matter of course often associated with Swedish artists – from ABBA to Jens Lekman.

ISIS (US) Metal has long since become more than headbanging scalps and grinning skulls. Particularly a band such as Isis shows new paths. They specialise in what some media have called ‘thinking man’s metal’. They combine metal and roaring vocals with atmospheric and lengthy instrumental passages. Frequently, the expression lies closest to that of symphonically minded postrock bands such as Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky. In this way, Isis shows how the metal genre can combine brutality and beauty in new surprising ways.

The starting point for the project was to take old Greek rebetika LPs and mix them up with latin, Turkish aromas and trip hop-ish beats. In this way, the brothers have created a sound that lovingly and wistfully embraces their ancestors’ music all the while the orientation towards the European clubs is evident.

KASSAV’

KASSAV’ (FR ANT) When you party at Guadeloupe and Martinique, you call it ’zouk’. The French-domiciled musicians in Kassav’ had started with the carnival music from the Caribbean when they joined forces in the late 70s. In that way, a brand-new genre was created which rapidly put dance floors on fire everywhere with the band’s incomparable live shows. Zouk is an explosive, rhythmical mix of salsa, funk, merengue and calypso – all fit into a discotheque-friendly format as if made for the Western audience. What they sing in the Afro-French creole dialect is not easy to understand. But it does not matter at all when the music lights up the loins as is the case with Kassav’.

Klovner i Kamp have challenged obstinacy and the frozen-up opinions as to what hip hop can do. In the mother tongue, that is. With a flourishing language and stories they have invaded the musical map – and for many people Norway has not been the same ever since. In 2006, the four-piece split up, causing flags to fly at halfmast in hip hop communities all over Norway.

However, Dansken, Dr. S, Alis and Fingern are now going to make up for this – for a while. Expect lots of gags, clown tales and popular hip hop. For the first time in years they are taking up arms – and this will be your only chance of seeing them in 2009.

This hip hop super group draws on members from House of Pain and Non Phixion. Everything suggests that these hooded sultans are not quite satisfied with the turn current hip hop is taking. La Coka Nostra signifies a return to the virtues of hardcore rap: angry, tattooed rebel music from the slums where police sirens and gunshots naturally form part of the background noise. A raw and uncompromising break with the rosy and well-groomed hip hop on the charts.

Lundell is capable of alternating between extrovert rock and thoughtful ballads.

However, the acknowledged composer, songwriter, painter and author chooses not to rest on his laurels after a long career. As recently as in 2008, the album Omaha showed that the old romantic still has a caustic and bloody pen.

Not long after, the busy singer-songwriter has now released his sixth solo album – characteristically called Hold Time – on which he continues the search for American history’s most patinated music genres such as country, blues and folk. In this way, his warm and slightly drawling vocals give new life to the old song traditions in a wrapping that appeals to fans brought up on alternative rock.

MADNESS

MADNESS (UK) The starting point for this legendary band is the Jamaican genre ska which broke widely through in England in the late 70s. Suddenly, boys were dancing around everywhere to reggae-like pop music, wearing braces, sunglasses and chequered socks. Madness popularized the genre – making it as British as fish‘n’chips.

The working class embraced immortal hits such as ”Our House” and ”House of Fun” like some kind of alternative, silly national anthems.

Madness is up for all kinds of fun. However, the band has also delivered blue moods – of which ”My Girl” is one of the most beautiful of its kind. Madness is in the same league as The Kinks, The Jam and Blur, who have also united British everyday life with striking lyrics and unforgettable tunes.

With the coming album Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do, the musical backpacker has reached Jamaica. With his British partner, he has taken the genres of the island and added his own personal layer of shiny robot chrome and auto tune.

It is Mono’s 10th anniversary, and they have toured intensely across the world for the past five years.

The Gothic tales are served by a voice of such beauty and sadness that you imagine the angels crying when it reaches their ears.

In the course of 20 years, Neurosis have developed their own lengthy style in simmering and contrastminded metallic wide screen – which makes the marrow tremble and the hairs stand up.

NOVALIMA (PER) From the thin air of the Andes to the heavy traffic of New York and London. Many South American bands have gone far by uniting their own old music traditions with today’s electronic beat. Novalima is such a band from Peru. The members reside in big cities all over the world from where they draw a wide range of inspirations. Still, the keynote in their expression is taken from the slaves who were transported from Africa to Peru by the Spanish conquerors.

Percussion-oriented music of this kind has for long existed only in Lima’s underground where it has lived, cut off from the surrounding world.

Thanks to Novalima, this music style threatened with extinction has finally been rehabilitated.

The collective mixes the Afro-Peruvian sound with reggae, electronica, house and Afro beat so you sense a centuries-old culture settle in on the global music scene.

Reznor has taken the cold and mechanic stylistic features from industrial and passed them on to more wide-ranging rock. The American has added choruses, pop riffs and emotional lyrics to a traditionally clinical music genre – so you feel a bloody heart beating hard and insistently behind the electronic music’s armour.

The Beatles’ music is the main inspiration in Oasis’ guitar-driven Brit pop – and with ”Wonderwall”, ”Live Forever” and ”Cigarettes & Alcohol”, the band has delivered contributions to rock history, which will stand side by side with the bigwigs for many years into the future. For the past couple of years, Oasis has experienced a heavy renewal in their popularity. This has been cemented by convincing, filled stadium

Christmas 2005. If this industrial approach – despite the familiar element – makes music experts think of Einstürzende Neubauten, then they are not entirely wrong. Orka’s music has some of the same raw and untamed primordial force as the German legends. The Faroese band let loose their peculiar instrumentation on simple and basic songs that often have some of the same brutality and openness as later Tom Waits material.

OH NO ONO

OH NO ONO (DK) They are already about to become regulars on the Danish music scene. Oh No Ono’s latest single “Internet Warrior” has shown that there is enough creative fuel and inventiveness for a long career – even if the talk about the Danes’ spectacular haircuts should die away. Their new album Eggs finds Oh No Ono in a (even) more experimental mood than earlier. They have spent a year and a half on creating a dark-coloured album which is very different from their earlier helium-weight and restless funk rock. Their new album is more inspired by early Pink Floyd and Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band.

PAAVOHARJU (FIN) This magical music collective’s creative centre is made up of two brothers who lead a very ascetic life in the Finnish province. When they perform live – which they do only rarely – it is with a crew that can match the fascinating expression as found on their albums. Paavoharju’s latest album Laulu Laakson Kukista (a song about the flowers of the valley) is a kind of flickering mix of impressionistic pop, romantic piano lines, mournful siren song and electronic effects. Paavoharju’s spiritual and fragmented music has an infinite Finnish feeling and sound – but it will also strike a chord with people who have been moved to distant skies by Icelandic bands such as Sigur Rós or Múm.

PABLO MOSES & U-ROY (JAM) Roskilde Festival is, once again, the scene for reggae legends. Pablo Moses belongs among the most important with his wise-man-voice and charisma. Particularly the masterpiece from the 70s Revolutionary Dream has made the man one of the central promoters of the Rastafarian culture’s peace-loving revolt against inequality, racism and greed. Pablo Moses is accompanied by an equally awe-inspiring act.

U-Roy is one of the first toasters in music history – he has taken other people’s reggae hits and remelted them into dub versions and since added his own rap. An effective trick that has since become the standard custom in hip hop.

U-Roy’s influence on all later rap and dancehall can hardly be overrated.

PET SHOP BOYS (UK) One of music history’s most durable duos is made up of Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant – two well-groomed middle-aged Brits who have sold more than 50 million albums under the uncharacteristically silly name Pet Shop Boys.

Few others can create as accessible – but at the same time serious – pop music from the baffling big city life and the hardships of love. Pet Shop Boys’ melancholic electro pop takes its starting point in the beats and synths of the 80s.

Whereas many bands from those days sound more and more kitsch with every passing day, Pet Shop Boys keep making sense. Their continued relevance has been sealed at this year’s Brit Awards by the honorary award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In addition, they have just released their eleventh album – Yes – full of bone-dry lyrics and catchy tunes.

In the past couple of years, Simpson has had many experiences that have drawn him out under the blue sky – from fatherhood to international touring with Trentemøller. The otherwise shy musician has also moved into his own studio. The keynote is, however, still the same – even if the electronic sound has a less prominent role than before. Mikael Simpson manages to move a big and loyal audience that find in his lyrics their own lapping reflection.

With Satyricon, one feels brisk winds blowing in the dark woods. Black metal is surprisingly combined with characteristics from more traditional, muscular rock. There are loads of power and rushing blood behind the white face paint. The Age of Nero from 2008 proves that international recognition has not stirred up Satyricon’s pitch-black outlook on life and crushing weight.

A lot has happened since Social Distortion first turned on the amplifiers. But even with 30 years of experience, the American band is essential for anyone who wants to understand the development of US punk rock – both the one on the charts and the one from the underground.

However, Sommer is far from an old-fashioned bard who sings songs of his native soil.

AUGUST (DK) August is a DJ with dub and electronica as his specialty. Chill-appreciators should look forward to this one.

ESCHO presents THULEBASEN, ALLE MED BALLONER OG TERRASER and LAMBURG TONY (DK) This indie label is home to some of Copenhagen’s most exquisite psychiatric cases. Get an exciting update on what goes on in the minds of experimental Copenhagen.

ASLE BJØRN (DK) Asle Bjørn is a versatile DJ. He is known for his house music but is also well versed in intimate dub and chill.

PETE GOODING

PETE GOODING (UK) Label owner, radio host, producer, DJ, record store owner. Pete Gooding wears many caps, and flips records at Café Mambo – one of Ibiza’s most popular places.

PETER BRODERICK

120

PETER BRODERICK (US) He is a member of Danish post-rock heroes Efterklang’s live band. Yet, the American, residing in Copenhagen, also makes his own lonely and atmospheric folk music.

WILL HAROLD (UK) Will Harold works as an A&R for Fabric, and you can look forward to a varied set ranging from electronica to dub step on to indie and classic chill.

CHRIS COCO (UK) Chris Coco does cool DJ sets all over the world, in which he acts out his love for dub, electronica and old film soundtracks.

KB18 presents WAQAR & KOBBE (DK) Kødboderne 18 is located in Copenhagen’s creative centre, Vesterbro. Here Waqar & Kobbe arrange concerts and club nights. The two lads report ready for a varied round of chill-out.

COURS LAPIN (DK) Cours Lapin creates filmic euphony that evokes the moods of David Lynch and Tim Burton. Louise Alenius’ capturing vocals add extra shades of blue to the four-piece’s catchy music.

KREDE (DK) An established figure in Danish club sounds.

Krede has many specialties – but he is perhaps especially a wanted DJ when it comes to lounge and chill.

LOUNGE

LULU ROUGE

JOSÉ PADILLA

LULU ROUGE (DK) Look forward to a toned-down DJ set that – judging from Lulu Rouge’s own sound universe – can contain everything from ambient to dubstep.

JOSÉ PADILLA (E) He is the man that you associate with the Ibiza stronghold Café Del Mar. Without José Padilla, the chill-out genre would probably not be as popular as it is today.

TOM MIDDLETON (UK) Several of Tom Middleton’s chill works have a beauty-seeking character which may be traced back to the fact that Middleton is actually a classically educated pianist.

STELLA POLARIS SOUND SYSTEM (DK) Stella Polaris have experience from their park events with making relaxing electronic music.

MIKE SALTA (DK) Mike Salta draws on both bossa, chill-out and techhouse which he merges in comfortable landscapes of weightless electronic sounds.

TRIO CAMPANELLA (DK) They are one of the best guitar ensembles in Scandinavia who differ from others of their kind by transposing music written for other instruments into music for three guitars.

VEKTORMUSIK (DK) Vektormusik have gone on an adventure in the buzzing underworld of electronic music. Here they are joined by acoustic instruments such as the double bass and the violin.

MIKKEL METAL · PHOTO: KRISTIAN HOLM

MIKKEL METAL (DK) In recent years, he has stood out as one of the leading figures in minimal techno and dub.

NANCY ELIZABETH (UK) Nancy Elizabeth’s rustic and nature-loving folk music has a refreshingly different after-taste.

OLIVER JONES (DK) Oliver Bierlich and Jonas Christiansen leave the trance and house scene as was the case on their chill debut album Picking up the Pieces.

ÅRHUS E presents PUZZLEWEASEL, VOKS, WÄLDCHENGARTEN, VECTRAL and MORTEN RIIS (DK) Århus E is an association of some of the Danish city’s most promising and artistically interesting names from the electronic underground.

Lounge is not all music. You can start your festival day with a little literary amusement from PETER ADOLPHSEN, PETER DYREBORG, KRISTIAN BANG FOSS, CHRISTIAN YDE FROSTHOLM, KRISTINA NYA GLAFFEY, THOMAS KROGSBØL, DY PLAMBECK, PALLE SIGSGAARD, LARS SKINNEBACH, MORTEN SØKILDE, CHRISTEL WIINBLAD and NIKOLAJ ZEUTHEN.

VISIT THE FAIRTRADE CAFÉ BY THE ODEON STAGE

FAIR FESTIVAL The coffee at the Roskilde Festival is Fairtrade. As a result some of the poorest coffee farmers in the world will get a fair price.

When you return home from Roskilde remember to look for the Fairtrade mark every time you shop

Green Footstep Fact: The same amount of oil is used for the production and transport of a half litre plastic bottle as the bottle itself can contain. So drink tap water or reuse your bottle.
