For me there is nothing like a good De Affaire festival. It is held in walking distance of where I live, and if the weather is nice like last year then there’s not much that can beat seven days of sitting in the park with some nice and fun people waiting for the next proper band to take the stage. Now, this year who knows what the weather will bring, but at least the line-up is already coming along nicely. The first names were announced a whole while back, and now 25 (yikes!) new ones are added.
The ones really jumping out at me are Architecture in Helsinki, Dirty Beaches (we featured him in one of our Crazy Zany columns, not to mention contributor Craig has interviewed him as well!), and Washed Out. Not that the rest of the names are too shabby. To the line-up they’ve added Alexis Taylor’s side project About Group, Cloud Control (who once were the support act for MGMT, a band we interviewed what seems like AGES ago. And, in actual fact, it was.), high energy Scots Dananananakroyd, James Vincent McMorrow, Kap Bambino (take cover for that one if you don’t want to be in the middle of a raid), Mount Kimbie, Pete and the Pirates, The Phoenix Foundation, SBTRKT, Bibio, Black Breath, Crocodiles, DD/MM/YYYY, Hauschka, John Holt & Frankie ‘Dancehall’ Paul, and Mama Rosin. Also some “local” Dutch artists have been added , with perhaps “headlining” that bunch 2562, but also with Aux Raus, Black Bottle Riot, Palmbomen, en Pien Feith.
