Pavement to Roskilde 2010

The US slacker rocksters join the program together with Balkan icon Shantel.

The busy December days seem to continue. Today we have an American band ready whose reunion and upcoming European tour have made lots of Roskilde-goers cross their fingers in anticipation.

PAVEMENT (US) is one of USA's most beloved and trendsetting indie bands ever. Their laid-back slacker style started in a weird combination of college rock, cosmic Americana and evergreen lofi pop. This return of a trendsetting band stand alongside other golden Roskilde reunions such as My Bloody Valentine, Pixies and The Velvet Underground.

SHANTEL & BUCOVINA ORKESTAR CLUB (DE) was announced earlier today in our online Advent calendar. Their concert will be one of those motley, colourful and multicultural celebrations that are an unavoidable part of Roskilde Festival. With the German pioneer Shantel in front, a politically-charged Balkan party mixed up with ska, reggae and pop is guaranteed.

More music coming up
These are busy days. Last Saturday we announced British band Muse alongside Danish acts The Kissaway Trail, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy and C.V. Jørgensen – and US punks NOFX were the very first band to be announced in our online Advent calendar.

Keep opening those doors in the Advent calendar. More musical treats may very well follow soon.

Reunited slacker rock band Pavement drops by Roskilde Festival this summer.
