Morrissey and Deftones ready for Roskilde ’06

Details
Two audience favourites return to Roskilde Festival: Morrissey and Deftones

They are representatives of quite different decades and genres, but both Morrissey (UK) and Deftones (US) have always remained vigorous and innovative without ever losing touch with their very dedicated and enthusiastic fans.

Furthermore, there is good news for those eager to dance when Birdy Nam Nam (F) and Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso (S) deliver grooves and beats, while Free Hole Negro (CUB) and Marcelo D2 (BRA) spread tropical club atmosphere from the global dance floor.

Morrissey – who has never concealed that his show at Roskilde in 2004 was a personal highlight of his career – is one of the most controversial and respected figures on the alternative rock scene. In April, he releases his eighth solo album Ringleader of the Tormentors, so it is with brand-new songs that he prepares to enchant his audience once again.

In the course of four albums, Deftones have captured the wildness of metal combined with atmospheric weltschmertz. In 2006, they release their fifth album which, according to themselves, is fuelled by greater anger. Deftones manage to express all emotions on stage, and when they play it cuts straight through to the bones.

Birdy Nam Nam are former winners of the world championship in DJ’ing, and they cut and slice through obscure jazz albums and turn loops and beats into brand new compositions. Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso take over clubs and fill dance floors all over the world with their fresh definition of bass-weighty and synth-driven electronic music.

Free Hole Negro call their own music free hop when they merge traditional Cuban rhythms with hip hop, while Marcelo D2 is on his way to becoming one of the biggest stars in Brazil with a unique hybrid of hip hop, Latin funk and samba.
