After we have last danced at Trailerpark Festival in Copenhagen, it’s now time again to swing by in our other favorite Danish city: Newbees Festival is taking place in Aarhus again on 27 and 28 September 2013!
“The idea behind
the festival is quite simple: We pick out 10 names from the Danish underground
that we think will make it big someday. There are no genre-restrictions or
requirements about what kind of gigs, press mentions, attention from radios or
the likes – we just have to see the potential”, explains Kasper Høgh, booker
and coordinator of Newbees Festival.
A look into
past line-ups clearly shows: they do see the potential. Acts like The Rumour
Said Fire, Cody, Ulige Numre, Asbjørn, Boho Dancer, Bottled in England, Schultz
and Forever, Dangers of the Sea, Dad Rocks! or Penny Police played Newbees
mostly before their names filled the posters of other big festivals. The
quality and the success of the artists from earlier years makes obvious what kind
of opportunity Newbees Festival is to get to know new, great and original Danish
music.
“The bands
we're booking are at different places in their careers: some of them are on the
verge of a breakthrough, some are newly established, waiting for things to
happen. It's our impression that this combination is great for the artists as
well as the audience”, says Kasper Høgh.
This year’s
combination sounds just as promising as the past line-ups, featuring exciting acts
like De Dødelige, Taragana Pyjarama, Sekuoia, Karl William, Broke, Baby in Vain and more. Good
because Danish cannot wait to finally get to experience some of them live and discover
newbies/new bees!
