Hurricane Festival is proud to announce MARINA & THE DIAMONDS as new act on the bill. 24 years old Marina Diamandis excites the internet community for a few years already with her singer/songwriter electro pop and now, after 3 EPs and her first album 'The Family Jewels', gains more and more recognition for her sound, sometimes reminding of KATE BUSH, the other moment of LENE LOVICH without copying the attitudes right away. Next good news concerns "Uncle Emma", which is not another band, but the new festival supermarket, so you won't have to bring tons of beer anymore. There you'll get everything for fair prices, including toiletries by the way.
