Morgen verschijnt het persbericht met het nieuws van o.a. The Streets en Neil Young. Word nu ook lid van de Roskilde Hyve: http://roskildefestival.hyves.nl/.

Roskilde Festival is proud to present a living legend. An artist who can elevate rock music in a way that makes the hair on your neck and arms obey immediately. It has been seven years since his last visit, and the plea for a return from our audience has been countless in the intervening years.

NEIL YOUNG (CAN) sits enthroned at the very top along with Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. But he is not only the delicate singer-songwriter with the trembling voice. His inclination for long jam sessions and mind-blowing guitar work has been like a recipe for a swarm of modern guitar rockers. Since the end of the 60s, the characteristic, thin voice has been around folk, rock, pop and even briefly flirted with electronics. Often with incomparable success - and always with the integrity intact when facing the music business that has tried to tame the unpredictable artist over and over.

Praised concerts
Many Danish fans of the genius will still have last week's concerts in Copenhagen fresh in their memories. They sold out so fast that many - way too many - did not get tickets. But sometimes you get another chance, so now you just have to buy yourself a Roskilde Festival ticket.

A couple of quotes from last week's first concert in Copenhagen:

"Some concert experiences stick to the memory and are never forgotten. Where everything comes together, and even the seasoned listener is trembling as if it were the first time. As if music were something that was invented right there, on the spot. That was Neil Young's concert at Falkoner Centret."
- Torben Holleufer, GAFFA

"The 62-year-old Canadian and his band delivered a feat of strength which this critic has never seen or heard anything like before. Throughout the concert Neil Young excelled in changing from vulnerable and thoughtful storyteller to a roaring, rocking dinosaur. A combination that really captures the essence of Neil Young's back catalogue."
- Ditte Sig Kramer, Soundvenue
