Major Lazer is set to create an unpredictable explosion of genres on Roskilde Festival’s Orange Stage in 2014.
Major Lazer is fronted by US phenomenon Diplo who is constantly pushing genres out of control with his sci-fi-like distortion of dancehall and reggaeton – and just about anything else with a danceable pulse.
His list of collaborators includes prominent names such as M.I.A., Tiësto and MØ.
Now Major Lazer targets the Roskilde Festival audience with a night show on Orange Stage in 2014. Expect to be in for nothing less than a totally unpredictable explosion of genres.
Roskilde Festival’s program director Anders Wahrén says:
”Major Lazer’s captain Diplo is a regular kickstarter and trendsetter. He has previously demonstrated his worth at Roskilde Festival, and I’m convinced that he is able to bring Orange Stage to the edge of madness when he takes the stage in 2014.”
In addition, global beats are added to the line-up in the form of German/Senegalese act Mark Ernestus presents JERI – JERI and Systema Solar from Colombia.
New names in the new year
Major Lazer, Systema Solar and Mark Ernestus presents Jeri-Jeri are added to a line-up that also includes such diverse acts as Arctic Monkeys, Haim, Pusha T, Carcass, Trentemøller and MØ.
Approximately 160 acts are expected to play at Roskilde Festival in 2014.
Roskilde Festival is working dedicatedly to secure more strong names of all sizes and genres for the 2014 festival as soon as possible.
Roskilde Festival 2014 takes place from 29 June to 6 July 2014.
A ticket costs 1910 DKK incl. fee (approx. EUR 256).
Roskilde Festival in Denmark is created by dedicated volunteers and is 100 % non-profit. All profits are donated to cultural and humanitarian purposes by the Roskilde Festival Charity Society.
