As you may know already, we are really fond of the Netherlands, particularly of two of their beyond amazing festivals: Roadburn and Le Guess Who?. The former is already in the books and it was a blast. The latter is reading itself to peak and to surpass a glorious 2015 edition – we were there and we loved every minute.
This is a festival that just sells itself: combining the very best of experimental music, whilst inhabiting numerous galleries, venues and churches of the most beautiful Dutch city – Utrecht that is. What more can you ask for, really?
But LGW? will give you more for its tenth edition indeed: Wilco, Savages, Julia Holter and Suuns will curate, each one of them, a unique multi-venue program to be unfurled in the upcoming months, gathering artists from different backgrounds and ranges, and the curators themselves will also perform as part of the whole experience.
Besides that, the Le Guess Who? HQ has already confirmed an humungous pool of great acts. Take a deep breath and check this out:
