Three weeks ago, they outlined our 2011 Berlin Festival concept for the first time. Now they can finally give you some more details: besides fantastic additions to our bill, they can announce further ticket categories for Berlin Festival, Club Xberg and Berlin Music Week Clubnacht. Festival visitors will also get the chance to win two VIP tickets for Reading Festival.
Where to start? Well, they’re really happy to confirm Aloe Blacc, who skilfully combines Motown feeling galore with socio-critical subtext. The Rapture is also billed this year. The New York combo releases its new album, In the Grace of Your Love, in September, which, according to frontman Luke Jenner, is musically taking up where the extraordinary album Echoes left off.
they’re also very excited to have Turbo Recordings’ Gesaffelstein with us, who will perform live at Club Xberg. Synth-laden guitar sounds are in the mix as well. While the Brazilian CSS boast some proper punk attitude, The Naked And Famous from New Zealand are more about epic and experimental soundscapes. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, who are right on time for Berlin Festival with their new album Hysterical, will certainly cause a stir among indie lovers. Also new to the bill: Tune-Yards, who musically sways between folk influences, pop nuances, homemade beats and R’n’B rhythms, newcomer Austra, who arrives from the darker recesses of the electro cosmos to give an atmospheric live performance, as well as Alex Winston and Housse de Racket.
More acts and DJs will be announced shortly. All acts, divided by day and venue, are listed below.
