Music

As the highlight of the now-complete musical programme, the final concert with Michael Rother and Gudrun Gut will bring together two legends on the Orpheum stage. The pairing invites the audience on a journey into the past and present of avant-garde music.



The programme inside the hilltop Uhrturmkasematte on Saturday will not only present Bristolian shooting stars Giant Swan, but also technology frontiersmen Evol, and Via App – one of the current central figures of the Brooklyn underground. A new edition of the festival's Daytime Stage will feature some great names from the local DJ scene at the Parkhouse on Elevate Saturday, broadcast live via video stream by Amsterdam's Red Light Radio.
