Punk, metal and hardcore to Roskilde Festival
Beatsteaks, Eyehategod, Iceage and Terror are added to the poster.

We are presenting some harder acts this week. Today's bands have energy and electric guitars in common. Bands like these are part of making Roskilde Festival a stronghold for fans of hard and noisy music.

BEATSTEAKS (DE) are huge in Germany and greater parts of Europe – and now it is time for Scandinavia. The German audience favourites play English-language punk rock with loans from hardcore, power pop and ska, always with a big musical scope, melodic flair and lots of humour. Beatstakes' new album is released this spring, and despite having a deal with a major label the attitude is still DIY like when they started their career back in 1995.

EYEHATEGOD (US) is known and loved for its Southern-state-drawling update of Black Sabbath and Melvins. Now the band is ready with its first studio album since Confederacy of Ruined Lives from 2000. Eyehategod tears at your ears with tough metal – these are some of the most swampy and tormented sounds ever heard from the deep South.

ICEAGE (DK) took our Pavilion Junior stage last year with their clattering post-punk. The band's first album fully meets the early expectations. Danish critics rejoice over New Brigade, a darkened post-punk album full of sharp guitars, tumbling drums and apathetic doom lyrics. Four youngsters have set the agenda in Danish punk in 2011.

TERROR (US) embodies the hardcore lifestyle with a flicked finger to about 95 % of the surrounding world. The latest update of their uncompromising, back-to-basics hardcore can be heard on Keepers of the Faith from 2010, but one of Terror's main objectives is the steamy crowd. The five Californians have not set out to reinvent the wheel – lots of adrenaline, body heat and enthusiasm among the audience are of much greater importance.

PJ HARVEY (UK) is one of the most characteristic figures of British rock. In recent years, she has become an exclusive live experience, and yet, she is still a huge star among the audience. A new album from PJ Harvey is always something of an event, and 2011 brings a new one: Let England Shake is a new, surprising chapter from one of the true chameleons of rock – a concept album about crumbled England and the many bloody wars fought under the British flag.

ANNA CALVI (UK) is a dark-romantic and raw new acquaintance who has been hailed as “The biggest thing since Patti Smith” by none other than Brian Eno. Many others have highlighted the young talent with the solid songs as one of 2011's most distinguished debutants. Cinematic pop rock with a true guitar master at the centre.

MATTHEW DEAR - Live Band (US) is an American DJ, producer and songwriter. He delivers steely hard techno beats under aliases such as Jabberjaw and Audion, and chilled experimental pop under his own name. With the latest album Black City, minimal techno, Roxy Music and LCD Soundsystem are possible landmarks as one of USA's most versatile electronic stars pay a visit.

KLOSTER (DK) is a mainly acoustic and quiet project, but Mikael R Andreasen's spiritual songs are still rich on instrumental variations. On his latest release, The Waves and Winds Still Know His Voice, he borrows lyrics and themes from Julian of Norwich, an English seer who died around 1416.

KURT VILE & THE VIOLATORS (US) combine the scent of cactus and dusty highways from US radio rock with a homemade skewed feeling. Backing band The Violators are the young American’s faithful companions as the lively alternative highway rock transcends the home studio to the rock stage.

Puta madre....

A couple of heavyweights in hip hop and R&B joins the music programme today.

BIG BOI (US) is normally one half of Outkast – one of the biggest hip hop successes ever. The American hip hopper and producer caught everyone by surprise when he delivered a solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son of Chico Dusty, of a similar magnitude. Big Boi can pimp beats, quirky verses, funk, pop choruses and sultry synths, making it a small revelation. This is a draw for all hip hop fans, getting to see Antwan Andre Patton in a concert that may offer old Outkast tracks as well.

JANELLE MONÁE (US) has in a short time established herself as a singer, songwriter, dancer and sci-fi nut. Miss Monáe mixes R&B, soul, hip hop and alternative rock in a musical storytelling that is equal parts musical from outer space and Stevie Wonder. The debut album The ArchAndroid – which is produced by Big Boi, among others – is one of last year’s most critically acclaimed albums in any earthly genre. Intergalactic concepts and ambitions of this caliber rarely come off this succesfully from a young debuta

Estas dos últimas confirmaciones me gustan mucho. A ver si la Monae se pasa por el FIB.

I WAS A KING (N) is audibly inspired by the 90s noise rock scene but adds a 60s-ish element of evergreen innocence and honey-marinated melodies. Front man Frode Strømstad is the centre from where the good tunes are pouring, but numerous strong forces from the Norwegian music scene often appear on the band’s records, among others, members from Harrys Gym, Serena-Maneesh and 120 Days.

LUKESTAR (N) plays melodious falsetto pop, appealing to anyone with the slightest appreciation for bands such as Mew or Sigur Rós. Lead singer Truls Heggero has an high pitched, frail voice and the rest of the band create angelic melodies and turbulent arrangements that sound as if they were made from a unique mixture of inland ice and helium.

Otro año que creo que me voy a quedar sin roskillas.

MASTODON (US) play their third concert at Roskilde Festival this summer. The mix of classic heavy metal, progressive rock and great technicality has made the band from the deep US south darlings with both metal fans, critics and music fans that are not normally into hard rock. When they played in 2005 and 2007, they were critically acclaimed and with a breakaway potential from the narrow metal circles. This year they come to Roskilde Festival as one of the strongest acts of the genre. And if you want to be assured about Mastodon’s continued supremacy on a live stage, Live At The Aragon – a good old-fashioned live recording from Chicago – is out soon.

DÅÅTH (US) has, in the course of four albums, investigated the borderland between death metal, thrash and whichever musical impressions that have caught their interest. Dååth’s two guitarists turn each concert into an eye-opener regarding virtuosity and dizzying solos, while drummer Kevin Talley is a star in metal circles for his take-no-prisoners drumming.

PARKWAY DRIVE (AUS) is becoming one of Australia's biggest successes in metal and hardcore. Do not let Parkway Drive’s pretty band name fool you. This is metalcore from the angriest and heaviest part of the genre spectrum. The young band’s first albums were produced by none other than Adam Dutkiewicz from Killswitch Engage. In the future the Australians may just well be in the same league as these metal giants.

vaya mierda:

M.I.A. (UK) has, in the course of three albums and several mixtapes, shown us how to transpose today's internet-based world to fierce, genre-exceeding pop. We are looking forward to preparing a stage for a global pop fest with one of today's most hip and controversial acts.

M.I.A.'s music is dirty like a city pavement and has both Western and Oriental blood running through its system. She skips between the continents in the same way as others manoeuvre the internet. Dancehall, Bollywood, Afro hip hop, Suicide. Everything is put on the catapult and fired off.

The latest release from the provocative style icon is the mixtape Vicki Leekx – and as always M.I.A. couples music and explosive political issues.

CONGOTRONICS vs ROCKERS (INT) revive the special congotronics sound from Konono N°1 and Kasai Allstars in new interpretations along with Deerhoof from the US, Juana Molina from Argentina, Wildbirds & Peacedrums from Sweden and Matt Mehlan from US act Skeletons. Together, this star-studded bunch rediscovers the electrified, joyous trance sound that has turned Congo into a music mecca for hipsters and music lovers.

JAGWA MUSIC (TAN) cultivates a genre called mchiriku, a percussion-based type of music that makes your blood boil with its steady, rhythmic attack. Due to a lack of funds, the musicians use old Casio keyboards and whatever materials they can get a hold of as well as traditional African drums.

SHANGAAN ELECTRO (ZA) gives the audience an opportunity to experience a brand-new genre from the first row. The speedy music style is already a hit on YouTube with over two million views. In the townships of Johannesburg people from 12 to 50 are shaking their booties to this revolutionary mix of up-tempo, synthetic marimba beats and pitched vocal samples - and they can keep going for hours as long as the tempo is fast enough. Now it is Roskilde Festival's turn when Nozinja, Tshetsha Boys and DJ Spoko deliver ultra-kinetic musical energy.

DESTROYER (CAN) has since the mid-90s released some of the most delicate and enigmatic albums full of lyrical glam pop. On the latest album Kaputt, front man and mastermind Dan Bejar flirts with soft rock, synths and saxophone solos. He brings his big backing band to Roskilde Festival. We are excited to finally present this shy and unique songwriter in Scandinavia.

LITTLE DRAGON (S) mixes synth pop, jazzy R&B and trip hop in its own charming mixture. The Swedish band has collaborated with capacities such as Damon Albarn and Dave Sitek from TV On The Radio. The Japanese singstress Yukimi Nagano was also on Roskilde's Orange Stage along with Gorillaz in 2010. A small Swedish band with a big wing span.

TAME IMPALA (AUS) has skillfully picked up the tricks from psychedelic bands such as Cream and The Beatles – but also more contemporary mushroom pickers such as The Flaming Lips. A mildly drugged vibe hangs over each note from the Australians who take you to a comfortable place off the map by means of jam sessions, dreamy vocal harmonies and evergreen melodies.

VETO (DK) has, in the course of three rainy electro rock albums, established itself on the Danish rock scene. Front man Troels Abrahamsen has never let the steadily growing success block his artistic vision. The inspiration come from British, alternative rock, but the four Danes add a more distinct electronic touch to the music that is constantly sprawling, ticking and hissing inside the dark soundscapes.

Mastodon y Tame Impala, que se vengan a la península YA!

Claro, y luego cuando toquen solo en el sur de Portugal, te vas a cagar hasta en satanás, no?

Me apetece conocer el Algarve. Este año quiero hacer una de Berlín o sur de Portugal!

Yo sur de Portugal también tengo ganas de visitarlo.

Eso si, no te lleves a Madeleine McCain.

PD: perdón por el off-topic.

This week's music package has all colours of the rainbow. We present acid rock, fusion blues and post-everything rock.

SPIDS NØGENHAT (DK) has achieved an almost cult-like status among Danish music freaks. The rare live shows by Spids Nøgenhat are mind-expanding sessions that will appeal to all lovers of psychedelic rock and strange plants. Several of the band members have previously played at Roskilde Festival with Baby Woodrose and Dragontears.

YEMEN BLUES (ISR) blends the ancient sound of the (un)happy Arabia with brass, cross flute and percussion. Everything is brought together by Ravid Kahalani – an Israeli with a Yemeni background – in a fragrant potpourri full of blues and jazzy finesse. An exciting fusion project with numerous scents from both the Middle East, Africa and New York.

ZUN ZUN EGUI (UK) is principally considered a British band – but this is really a rainbow-coloured explosion of nationalities, genres and musical languages. African guitar, Japanese avant-garde and jazzy post-rock from Chicago clash in a dadaist carnival – a sound nightmare for everyone who demands clear-cut genre borders. Fans of Frank Zappa, Mike Patton and Talking Heads will nod appreciatively.

BRIGHT EYES (US) has gone from being a breathlessness-struck teenager to a fully mature songwriter with air under his wings, political indignation and a great arsenal of musical effects. Front man Conor Oberst’s easily recognised voice enjoys the company of well-written songs that in an instant can go from flickering beautifully and quietly as a candle to bursting out in a sea of flames of emotional rock. Alternative folk rock in American wide-screen from an artist that many has proclaimed a new Bob Dylan.

CODY (DK) plays pop songs in a charming country and folk wrapping. Kaspar Kaae is Cody’s band leader, songwriter and artistic driving force. Single-handedly, he produces Americana-sounding pop hits with a perfect American accent. In concert a whole group of musical esquires join him on stage. This way, Cody’s lonely starting point is turned into a collective experience lifted by violins, lap steel guitar and banjo.

JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE (US) is no less than the son of American country rock legend Steve Earle – yet, he seems convincing in his insistence of marking his own territory. With a rough life behind him, Earle has lots of material to write songs from, loaded with the isolation and hard-earned experiences of country music. At the same time it is clear to hear that this is a new generation singing. As a member of the mp3 generation he can easily skip between different genres such as blues, folk, hillbilly and honky tonk. Earle junior follows inventively and respectfully in his father's footsteps.

Por ahora muy flojito no? Roskilde siempre tiene cartelones y este año por ahora...

Bright Eyes, ummmm.
