Biffy Clyro, Keane, and Modest Mouse confirmed for NorthSide

Rasmus Walter and Shaka Loveless has also been added to the poster

New acts are constantly being confirmed for NorthSide, so only a week after we added five new bands to the poster, those are now joined by five more new acts.


Biffy Clyro
The Scottish trio Biffy Clyro broke through with the album "Puzzle" and through support gigs for Muse and The Rolling Stones they built up a large fanbase in England, which just became even greater when they released "Only Revolutions. The hard-hitting band also has a good hold on the Danish audience who could experience the band supporting Foo Fighters in Copenhagen, and radio listeners will recognize the hit "Black Chandelier" from the album "Opposites", which has just gone straight to number one on the British album chart. So it's a band at the peak of their career, who are coming to NorthSide 2013.
Biffy Clyro will play NorthSide on Saturday the 15th June.

Keane
6 million albums sold and platinum records across Europe was a really good start for Keane, when they debuted in 2004 with the album "Hopes and Fears". The album was also the first of four albums to go straight to the top of the British album chart, underlining the group's ability to write catchy and effective pop songs that become big hits. Most recently the album "Strange Land" was released in 2012, and here the band has been expanded to a quartet, which has added some more guitar to the piano-driven bands sound. The band has since the beginning been loved by the Danish audience, and therefore we are very proud to present the band's first ever festival concert in Denmark.
Keane will play NorthSide on Friday the 14th of June.

Modest Mouse
Since the mid-90s, Modest Mouse has constantly been one of the most interesting and critically acclaimed acts on the American indie scene, and with the single "Float On" in 2004 they finally got the hit, they had so long deserved. The album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank", from 2007, reached number one in the U.S., and obviously expectations for the upcoming album are great. It has been six years since Mouse Mouse last visited Denmark, so it's so great to be able to welcome them to NorthSide in June.
Modest Mouse will play NorthSide on Saturday the 15th June.

Rasmus Walter
The former Grand Avenue frontman has enjoyed great success since he began singing in Danish on the solo debut album from 2011. "Dybt Vand" was the first hit, and then listeners of P3 voted the song “Endeløst” as the most unavoidable last year. The songwriter's second album is out in March, and we look forward to experiencing the new material at NorthSide.
Rasmus Walter will play NorthSide on Sunday the 16th June.

Shaka Loveless
The 28-year-old singer has had a music career for more than 10 years, and long before the hit with “Tomgang”, you could hear him deliver soulful vocals and playing bass as a member of the groups The Gypsies and Are We Brothers?. As a solo artist Shaka mixes reggae with rock and pop with a great skill, which it will be a pleasure to experience this summer.
Shaka Loveless will play NorthSide on Saturday the 15th June.

The list of announced acts for NorthSide 2013 are as follows: Alt-J (Δ), Arctic Monkeys, Band of Horses, Biffy Clyro, Bikstok Røgsystem, Bloc Party, The Eclectic Moniker, Ellie Goulding, The Flaming Lips, Fun., Gogol Bordello, Keane, Kings of Convenience, Kaizers Orchestra, The Knife, Modest Mouse, Nephew, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Portishead, Rasmus Walter, Shak Loveless, Spleen United, Trentemøller, and When Saints Go Machine.

NorthSide afholdes i Eskelunden, Aarhus

NorthSide har på ti år udviklet sig fra en juni-dag på Tangkrogen med fem danske navne i 2010 og to udsolgte dage i Ådalen ved Aarhus med internationale topnavne i 2011 til en prisvindende festival i verdensklasse med 35.000 gæster og gennem tiden navne som Radiohead, Frank Ocean, Björk og Nick Cave på plakaten.

Både 2014 og 2015 var udsolgt med 35.000 gæster, og i 2017 var den tidligst udsolgte i festivalens historie og største med 40.000 gæster. NorthSide kunne i 2019 fejre 10-års jubilæum sammen med blandt andre New Order, Major Lazer, Khalid, Migos og Bon Iver.

NorthSide har et højt ambitionsniveau, der ikke kun reflekteres i et stort musikbudget og et ønske om at bringe endnu flere internationale topnavne til Aarhus, men også i et konstant arbejde for at stille de bedst mulige faciliteter til rådighed, når det kommer til lyd, lys og sceneopbygning, så både musikere og publikum vil få en fantastisk oplevelse på festivalen. Musikken vil altid være det vigtigste på NorthSide, og når kernepublikummet er kvalitetsbevidste musikelskere, skal dette naturligvis reflekteres både i programmet og i omgivelserne.

NorthSide har slået sig op på kerneværdierne Innovation, Bæredygtighed og Musik, og de tre punkter er fortsat i fokus både i det forberedende arbejde, på selve festivalpladsen, og når der skal vælges samarbejdspartnere. Eksempelvis er alt materiale til NorthSide trykt på stenpapir, som er den mest bæredygtige papirløsning, og man har eksperimenteret med ølkrus, der var lavet af mælkesukker fra majs og gulerødder, der nedbrydes i jorden efter et par måneder. I 2017 kunne man desuden præsentere et udvalg af mad, der som den første festival i Danmark var 100% økologisk på tværs af alle madboder samt artist- og crewcatering.

Fra festivalens side er man desuden interesseret i at aktivere det aarhusianske erhvervsliv samt trække på de enorme ressourcer, byen har at tilbyde både på uddannelsesinstitutionerne og i de forskellige foreninger og organisationer, der gennem året forsøger at sætte sit præg på byen. Dette er indtil videre blandt andet sket gennem workshops på Aarhus Universitet, oprettelse af en camino på Brabrandstien, forskellige barer på festivalpladsen, diverse kunstprojekter samt udviklingen af en bæredygtigheds- og innovationsstrategi.

Festivalen har gennem årene samarbejdet med Tuborg, AROS, Mejlgade For Mangfoldighed, Aarhus Kommune, GAFFA, Innovation Lab, WorldPerfect, SPOT Festival, Kaospiloterne, AU Center for Entreprenørskab og Innovation. Kunstakademiet, Arkitektskolen, Oppenheimer og mange andre for at skabe en innovativ festival, hvor det primære fokus naturligvis er på musikken, men hvor der er også plads til kreativitet, udsving, opfindsomhed, skævheder og samhørighed.

På særdeles kort tid er NorthSide blevet en aarhusiansk succeshistorie, der samtidig har udviklet sig til at være en af landets mest interessante kulturbegivenheder.
