I was dissapointed with release with three unknown (for me) names and none of them interesting for me.

So I still think there must be something good left, and I would expect two more release announcements.
They should include a headliner, since they only have 7 headliners so far and seem to want 8 headliners for the poster (and a band like Machine head could have been a headliner, when Mastodon was last year). I would expect it to be a rock headliner (maybe hard rock).
Also a pair of solid subliners should be announced.

I don't have any specific band guesses.


At the press meeting one of the books told me (and Aleg-one and Weiss) that they did not expect to book more headline, but we might get som subs.. now we got one sub in Dr. John, so think we will get 1-2 more there, but think most will be small names.. so think it is best to hope for some (hard)rock we might not know, but maby will love icon_smile.gif ]]> <![CDATA[The Last 15 Acts]]> Thu, 24 May 2012 14:09:59 +0200

I´ve got already too many bands on my want-to-see list, so more mediocre electronic acts which I can skip suits me fine.

And to be sure, he is a subheadliner, or even a headliner.

This isn´t about how many records he has sold in Denmark, or if he could sell out Forum. The man is a legend.

There are lots of names, that might not be household names, but are worthy of sub - or headlinerstatus.


You can't determine subliners and headliner by that premise first.


Of course I can. The man is influential, a legend and has made and sold a shitload of records, even if he isn´t a big name in DK. RF is an internationally minded festival.

However, he´s not a household name, with the broader public, in DK or otherwise.

Lot´s of names aren´t, but that doesn´t mean that they aren´t worthy of sub- or headlinerstatus, imho.

While most people with any kind of interest in music know who Bruce Springsteen is, The Roots are probably more unfamiliar. Or De La Soul. Has your mom and dad heard about Kraftwerk or Janes Addiction, or Einstürzende Neubauten? Those names deserve to be subheadliners in my opinion.


I'll let that attempted insult slip, as it doesn't bother me. Bought my first Kraftwerk album when it came out and I was 16 when Jane's Addiction was the top underground band.

I am not refusing your claim that some bands deserve to be top of the list, but the festival couldn't survive on that notion alone. It has to attract enough people to last.

Making Peter Green headliner would make a lot of sense to me in terms of what he has done and the respect he deserves etc, but not many people would have a clue. Just an example.

And I have not denied that Dr John is a good subliner, I think he is a stronger subliner than 50% this year. I was just trying to discuss on a broader spectre about what you said.


Well, we can agree to disagree, then icon_biggrin.gif

I would agree on a sub-headliner for Peter Green, even though I had to look him up. As a solo artist, headliner would be stretching it. Fleetwood Mac would, of course, deserve a headliner. Maybe it´s because I´ve always seen RF as a festival that takes music seriously, and aren´t about fads. While they certainly can be accused of trying a bit too hard with certain segments over the last decade, that is the festivals stated goal.

Personally I think headliner/subheadliner are names that are hugely popular, and/or legends, and it´s hard to be the latter, without a big cult following. I´m sure Bon Iver are hugely popular at the moment (not with me though), but I can almost guarantee, that no one will know them in 40 years time. It´s way different with Dr. John. In other words, they make sense from different criteria. Even if I think Bon Iver should have been a sub-headliner icon_rolleyes.gifbanghead.gificon_wink.gificon_biggrin.gif

(I hope/suppose you were joking about the insult thing, no offense was meant, I was trying to make a point about name recognition, not that I know anything about your parents taste in music icon_wink.gif) ]]> <![CDATA[Females that really Rocks!!! ]]> Thu, 24 May 2012 06:05:30 +0200

Actually it does, at least unknown bands aren't worth of headliner status. Roskilde like every other festivals are by most people very much rated according to their headliners, so if people are looking for a reason to come, they will first look at the headliners, and see if they like them and in order for that they need to know them.
You can't have eight very good but completely unknown bands as headliners and expect 75000 people to buy a ticket for the festival unless they are here only for the camping experience. ]]> <![CDATA[The Weather Thread!]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 21:46:56 +0200 Saturnus wrote:

Hey!

We need some good news!! icon_wink.gif


Sorry about that but there's just not any sign that we'll have hot and sunny weather as we've had the last 4 years. Well, last wasn't that hot compared to the 3 years before. But it very much looks like what we had from 2001 to 2003 for the old farts among us who can remember that. Typical early Danish summer weather.


With the solar storm and the unusual number of sun spots, 2012 will indeed be overall warmer than the last couple of years. If this will influence the weather in Denmark at the time around Roskilde, only time will tell. The sudden summer the last couple of days sure had pretty much every weatherman fooled. ]]> <![CDATA[Dr. John (US), Africa Hitech (UK) & Giraffage (US)]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 21:20:53 +0200 <![CDATA[Introducing Line-up in order by Genre. - just kidding, but I can only wish!]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 21:03:52 +0200 Coldblooded wrote:

I understand the concerns about missing out on some artist if the line-up is divided into genres, but on the other hand I would also find it useful to know which hip hop acts there is coming to Roskilde. Although this year there is quite a lot of hip hop, why i will not be having any problems getting my hip hop fix.

Anyway I have made my own Hip Hop list. Please fill free to add comments.

The Roots, Sage Francis, Grives, Kesi, Wiz Khalifa, YelaWolf, Malk De Kojn, Royce Da 5’9, A$AP Rocky, Dominique Young Unique, Mac Miller, Vaagsbygd Handy, Spectors, Macklemoore & Ryan Lewis, Big K.R.I.T, Klumben & Raske Penge, DJ Static mm.


You missed Baloji and Blitz the Ambassador plus the mighty Khalazer. The hip hop programme is off the fucking hook this year icon_smile.gif

Cool Rusla, yeah, a friend is a booker for U:Mack in Dublin, and they have Warp gigs every few months, but these guys aren't too exciting... I can see the appeal of Hitech, although it's more headphone music, and doesn't have much of a festival buzz. Might be worth a peek, but I won't be rushing!

I might give Giraffage a few more listens, some sounds are almost Neon Indian-esque, but lack the fun, vibrancy and energy.


Thanks for the advice! Yeah i follow you on the headphone thing - A bit too ambient for a festival perhaps. I will remember that if they'll clash with some other acts I'd like to see, which they probably will... I'm counting 25 concerts already that i MUST see, it's just not gonna happen icon_cry.gif

Where you get it? At Spejdersport at CityCenter East or West (it's both places)

Do you get it before the camping opens? Obviously not as the CityCenters are located on the camping grounds. ]]> <![CDATA[Dr. John (US), Africa Hitech (UK) & Giraffage (US)]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 15:06:16 +0200 Willy Kerr? wrote:

I wish I could say the same for the other two. They really don't sound too great, very derivative and boring, they'd struggle to sell 10 tickets in any city venue, anywhere in the world.

That's an exaggeration.

Giraffage have a few decent sounds, but that's about it. Nothing substantial about them.

Africa Hitech are very boring. Particularly considering there are lot of better artists on the Warp label, and a lot of them can play at short notice.


I personally think anything that has to do with Mark Pritchard is just pure genious, but then again i see you point - Africa Hitech is a very narrow musical niche that not everyone will enjoy, but those who are into this kind of experimental ambient dubtronica or whatever you wanna call it will love it.

Anyways i agree on you with the Warp thing - Rustie and Kenny Larkin are some of my favorite electronic artists! ]]> <![CDATA[Get 2 pay for 1!]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 15:05:31 +0200 I have 2 tickets inkl camp for sale and the good deal 50% discount!
