Roskilde hoppas på 2021 – bokar The Strokes och Haim

Hoppet om en festivalsommar lever i Roskilde. På torsdagen meddelar den danska festivalen att de har bokat 29 nya artister till festivalen 2021. Bland dem New York-bandet The Strokes, syskontrion Haim och Mike Pattons Faith no more.

”Om du som oss tittar framåt, så kommer du att se ljus. Någonstans längs vägen”, skriver festivalen i ett pressmeddelande.

Flertalet av artisterna som skulle ha spelat i somras får också en ny chans. Festivalpassen är slutsålda, eftersom nästan alla som köpte till årets inställda festival har valt att behålla dem till nästa år.

Faith No More
Wikipedia (sv)
Faith No More är ett amerikanskt rockband som bildades 1982 i San Francisco, Kalifornien. De är mest kända för låtarna Epic och Easy (som är en The Commodores-cover). De är kända för sin experimentella musik och stora inflytande på senare progressiva och experimentella grupper. Bandet blandar rock med influenser från många olika håll som till exempel funk, hiphop, jazz och Heavy metal. Bandet splittrades 1998 men i ett pressmeddelande den 23 februari 2009 tillkännagavs att Faith No More återförenas. Bandet återbildas för att åtminstone genomföra en Europaturné men säger samtidigt att man inte riktigt vet vart det sedan tar dem. Faith No More återförenas med samma uppsättning medlemmar som bemannade bandet vid splittringen 1998.

The Strokes
Wikipedia (en)
The Strokes are an American rock band from Manhattan, New York. Formed in 1998, the band is composed of singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. They are one of the more prominent bands of the garage rock and post-punk revivals, aiding in the resurgence of indie rock in New York City. After the release of their EP The Modern Age in January 2001, a bidding war ensued among major labels in order to sign the band. Eventually, RCA Records signed them and released their debut studio album, Is This It, later that year. It earned them international commercial success and critical acclaim, appearing on several year-end and all-time album lists. It was followed by Room on Fire in October 2003 and First Impressions of Earth in January 2006, both receiving similar commercial success. They then entered a hiatus for several years. Toward the end of their original record deal with RCA, the Strokes released two albums in three years with Angles in March 2011 and Comedown Machine in March 2013. Both received lukewarm responses from critics. They released their first collection of material after their departure from RCA, the Future Present Past EP, in June 2016 through Casablancas' independent Cult Records label. Despite these studio projects, the 2010s were a relatively quiet period for The Strokes. While the band was in the studio together throughout the decade, they performed live relatively infrequently and directed most media attention to individual projects. Near the end of the decade, the Strokes began working with Rick Rubin on a new album. In April 2020, The Strokes released their first studio album in seven years, The New Abnormal, through Cult and RCA. Critics generally considered the album a return to form.

Haim (band)
Wikipedia (en)
Haim ( HY-im, stylized in all caps as HAIM) is an American pop rock band from Los Angeles. The band consists of three sisters: Este Haim (bass guitar and vocals), Danielle Haim (lead vocals, guitar, and drums), and Alana Haim (guitars, keyboards, and vocals). In addition to their primary instruments, each member is also proficient in several others. The group's pop sound on their studio work stands in contrast to the more rock-based music of their live shows. The sisters grew up in a musical family, and began playing instruments from an early age in the cover band Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents, Moti and Donna. The two elder sisters, Este and Danielle, began performing with the pop group Valli Girls in 2005. They released a few songs on soundtrack and compilation albums under that name, but left the group shortly after an appearance at the 2005 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. They formed Haim with younger sister Alana in 2007, but did not seriously consider it a professional career for some years. After Danielle became a successful touring guitarist, first with Jenny Lewis and later with Julian Casablancas, Haim reformed as a full-time operation in 2012. The group's first release, Forever (an EP released as a limited-time download), combined with positive reception at the South by Southwest festival, led to a deal with Polydor Records and a management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation group in mid-2012. The band began recording material for their first album, Days Are Gone, in sessions between touring dates, including appearances at the Glastonbury Festival. The album charted in the top ten in several countries, including the number-one spot in the UK, and the group had won several "best of" awards by the end of 2013. The group was nominated for Best New Artist at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Their second album, Something to Tell You, was released in July 2017. Their third album, titled Women in Music Pt. III, was released on June 26, 2020. The group received nominations at the 63rd Grammy awards for Album of the Year ('Women in Music Pt. III') and Best Rock Performance ('The Steps').
