Jæja, nú líður að sumri og tónlistarfestivöl sumarsins ganga í brátt í garð. Ég var að tékka á lænöppunum á þessum helstu sem Íslendingar tékka á og datt í hug að henda þeim hingað inn…
Ég sleppi Roskilde þar sem það er annar Hugari að kovera hana, og allar upplýsingar um hana má finna á www.roskilde.ipfox.com.
Ég sleppi einnig óstaðfestum artistum (nema á Leeds og Reading) þar sem það er svo leiðinlegt þegar það eru No-Show…

Bacardi BBar
Classic Recordings and Music For Freaks are two of the coolest house labels on the planet at the moment. United by Luke Solomon, who co-founded Classic with Chicago legend Derrick L. Carter and MFF with Justin Harris, the two labels will be co-hosting this years Bacardi BBar at Homelands. The line-up also includes the Freaks Live Band, Kenny Hawkes, Tiefschwarz & Diz Washington.

The Strongbow Rooms
The idea is: ‘Absolutely anything goes….’, as long as it puts a smile on your face and makes people want to dance. It’s deliberately all-over-the-shop and totally spontaneous. It’s music you won’t hear anywhere else on site. During the day, the DJs play outside on the sun-deck (last year it was so hot their records started actually melting on the decks!), gently teasing the assembling crowds into their festival experience. Expect a gratuitously Balearic mash-up: sun-kissed chillout grooves, laidback reggae, old skool rap, sexy R&B, classic disco and gorgeous deep house classics. Remember: absolutely anything goes…. As the sun goes down, the DJs move inside and the tempo rises with the latest bootlegs, funky house and dance classics, plus, in keeping with the ‘anything goes..’ ethos, a few 80s curveballs, a bit of twisted disco and some impromptu hip hop interludes. Residents: Jim Byers, Matt Dix, Ben Arnold (plus a special guest)






Þetta eru náttlega bara örfá að hundruðum tónlistarfestivala sumarsins… meðal annarra eru Ozzfest (US og UK) en þar hafa böndin ekki enn verið staðfest, Iceland Airwaves, Gatecrasher og svo má lengi telja…

Sjálfur er ég spenntastur fyrir Glastonbury, Hultsfred og Roskilde náttlega. Happy hunting.
