Next year’s Smukfest will be adorned with sugary soul tones and bazaar arms when the party runs off the stack in the beech forest in August.
The festival announced on Wednesday that soul legend Lionel Richie, cartoon band Gorillaz and DJ Kygo are all on the poster for next year’s festival.
This is stated by Smukfest in a press release.
American soul singer Lionel Richie was scheduled to take the stage as early as this year – but it did not materialize, as the entire festival was canceled due to the corona pandemic.
Kygo should also have performed at Smukfest in 2020, but has instead appeared on the poster for 2021.
The DJ from Norway has in the past decade established himself among the elite in the edm genre (electronic dance music, ed.) With hits like “Firestone” from 2014
Behind the cartoon band Gorillaz is the cartoonist Jamie Hewlett and singer and producer Damon Albarn, who is also known from the band Blur.
Lionel Richie has made a career as a soul singer for half a century – first in the motown group The Commodores and later as a solo artist. He is known for a number of hits such as “Hello” and “All night long”.
– We long to see our fantastic audience drop their best moves on a dance floor of beech chips – and it must be said that the first three names for the program add up, it says in the press release.
Gorillaz last performed in Denmark at Roskilde Festival in 2018, where the concert had to be interrupted when rapper Del the Funky Homosapien fell over the edge of the stage during the song “Clint Eastwood”.
However, all three artists are new acquaintances for the festival in the beech forest, as none of them have performed at Smukfest before.
Beautiful party in 2021 will be held between 4 and 8 August.
Kygo plays Thursday, August 5th, Lionel Richie plays Friday, August 6th, and Gorillaz goes on stage Saturday, August 7th.
