The Ex founding member of The War On Drugs, went solo in 2008, with tantalizing rock folk, his last album "B'lieve i'm goin' down" is one of the albums that captures his musical life.
A must-see act at Eurockeennes.
MAC DE MARCO
He describes his music style as "jizz jazz", but this creative singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer is best known for his solo career, during which he has released four studio albums.
Blue Wave, Slacker Rock or Jizz Jazz, the truth is that Mac de Marco is one of those artists that evokes old rock n´roll glories.
Bohemian, sassy, rough and wild.
CARIBOU
How can somebody love electronic music so much and melt it with pop melodies into such a great fusion?
With the help of his crazy mind, hypnotic beats, addicted synthesizers, guitars, and heavy drums Caribou makes a fantastic musical cocktail.
Daniel Snaith, the Canadian composer, musician and recording artist, has also performed under the stage names of Manitoba and Daphni.
AIR
When we think of France we think of the duo AIR.
One of the modern Icons of the French wave of artists that suddenly invaded the world with their unforgettable melodies and unique style.
Mind-blowing sound and hypnotic electro pop.
From Versailles with Love.
TAME IMPALA
There is definitely no more popular psych rock pop group than Tame Impala.
Singer-guitar player Kevin Parker and his friends formed the band in Perth Australia in 1999.
Since then, their psychedelic sound has been evolving, in their latest album we can find a hint of dance music but without leaving the pure sound of rock that Tame Impala has in the blood.
The band is on tour with their third album Currents released last year and having the same success as the previous albums.
ACTION BRONSON
American rapper and former chef Arian Asllani better known by the stage name Action Bronson
Before embarking on a career as a rapper, which was originally just a hobby, he was a respected gourmet chef in New York City, and also hosted his own online cooking show.
After a kitchen accident, Bronson decided to concentrate on his music career, and we think he did the right choice.
PUMAROSA
Sexy is an adjective for their music.
They are very tropical, exotic and eclectic, but certainly this London-based group brings awesome rhythms that transport you to the tropical forest.
From the concrete jungle, Pomarosa will give you the sensation that you´re in a trance with their groovy sounds
LAS AVES
Toulouse based Las Aves and producer Dan Levy from The Dø create a sound that mixes many genres, hip-pop-rock, we can call it but this happy and energetic group wants to make the audience has great time, like the sun in summer or the snow in winter, just enjoy it.
FOALS
Post-punk is alive thanks to the worldwide success of "Holy Fire", revivalism over the rawer math rock tendencies of the earlier LPs.
Yannis Philippakis and the band strike again
with the sensual lush and rich album
"What Went Down".
The stage on Saturday will be on fire.
