This year you can count on performances by the post rockers Mogwai, funstar Adam Green and his latest album Jacket Full of Danger, a revival of the Cardigans and also new bred indie rock bads Be Your Own Pet, We Are Scientists, Beautiful New Born Children (are we detecting a new trend in band names here or was it just that no one dares to call themselves the *.*s? The Veils are coming too, they must feel outdated), Kieran Hebden out of Fourtet context, Wolf Eyes and his painful Stabbed in the Face electronics, the soothing voices of the CocoRosie sisters, loyal friends Zita Swoon in their latest context 'band in a box', Isobel Campbell out of Belle & Sebastian and instead with exQueens of the Stone Age Mark Lanegan, and much, much, much more.
The mobile bed project continues with the current theme being Zalig Slapen, or heavenly sleeping, literally spoken, for the beds are located in the many churches Rotterdam sports. Breakfast included, if you're lucky they'll pour a raw egg down your throat especially for your hangover.
Participating venues include, TENT. Nighttown and the Rotterdamse Schouwburg, guaranteeing fun for all throughout Easter.
