One of the Poland’s leading music festivals, Nowa Muzyka, has just revealed more artists and detailed information about its 2014 line-up! Taking place over 21st to 24th August within the industrial backdrop of the Katowice Coalmine, this festival will be undoubtly one of the summer´s highlights. OK, let’s take a look on the exciting line-up additions!
The opening night concert – taking place in a breathtaking Katowice church – will feature masters of soulful, melancholic songs, Sorry Boys accompanied by a full gospel choir. Together with Sorry Boys will perform the real star of the moment, Chet Faker. He will be creating a special performance taken from the release of his hotly anticipated new album ‘Built on Glass’. This is one hell of an opening party that should not be missed.
The ‘10 Years of Hyperdub’ showcase will feature classically-trained musician Laurel Halo, who’s varied music style and use of instruments such as electric guitar, keyboard and violin, makes her a special act not to be missed out on. Rinse FM regular Scratcha DVA also joins the bill bringing with him his grime-infused house music that has made him so influential within the industry. Meanwhile Hyperdub ally and outstanding experimental producer Ikonika, plus cutting edge, tribal songstress Cooly G, also features over the weekend – both flying the flag for female talent.
Festival program also includes Copenhagen-based experimental pop trio WhoMadeWho, as well as Norwegian jazz ensemble Jaga Jazzist who will be performing with the Katowice Aukso Orchestra in a very special one-off performance.
