Our opening act is a shining star on the Danish electro-pop scene \u2013 the closing act is the reason why there\u2019s such a thing as electronic music in the first place. Roskilde Festival starts and ends with experiences unlike most other.
\nWhen the gates to the festival site open at 5pm Thursday afternoon on 4 July, it\u2019s going to happen with an extravagant party. Known under his stage name Vinnie Who, Niels Bagge has established himself as Denmark\u2019s finest prince of pop, gracefully disco-dancing through the best moments in pop history. <\/p>\n
\u201dIt\u2019s crazy! Every time I think of it, my stomach turns. It is without a doubt the biggest challenge; I\u2019m facing as a musician, and a fantastic opportunity to become a part of the Orange Stage legacy. Ever since I was 17, I\u2019ve been diving into the festival\u2019s line-up, and now I\u2019m faced with the biggest experience of them all \u2013 and one I\u2019m able to share with more than 70.000 people,\u201d says Vinnie Who about his upcoming job of pushing the Roskilde Festival 2013 start button on the biggest stage of the festival. <\/p>\n
Historic concert in three dimensions
\nNo Roskilde Festival without an unforgettable concert experience just before you go home Sunday night, brought to you this year by none other than Kraftwerk. They\u2019ll be performing their unique and fantastic 3D-show for the first time in such a large outdoor scale on a festival in Northern Europe, so the midsummer sun will set over an Orange Stage looking more vivid than ever. And don\u2019t worry about bringing your own 3D-glasses; Kraftwerk have enough for everyone. <\/p>\n
\u201dThe final concert on Orange Stage Sunday night has always been a very special experience, a special moment where we all come together for the music, and I think it\u2019s difficult to imagine a more spectacular way of saying goodbye to this year\u2019s festival and all your friends than in the company of Kraftwerk and their very unique show. One thing is the band\u2019s importance to music history which can take the breath away from most everyone; another is the fact that it will most surely be a concert; we\u2019ll still be talking about years from now. I\u2019m certain that Sunday night with Kraftwerk will become a part of Roskilde Festival history,\u201d says Roskilde Festival\u2019s music director Rikke \u00d8xner. <\/p>\n
Even though it\u2019s the first time Orange Stage will be turned into a giant 3D screen, she\u2019s not at all worried about the technical challenges that go along with such a show. <\/p>\n
\u201dOur own technicians have been in dialogue with Kraftwerk\u2019s technicians since day one, and I know that Kraftwerk wouldn\u2019t be taking their 3D-show on the road to Roskilde if they weren\u2019t completely confident when it comes to all the technicalities,\u201d Rikke \u00d8xner says. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
