Under the title ”Music Moves Europe”, the EU actively supports the European music sector each year with millions of euros through the Creative Europe Programme. Music Moves Europe supports all sorts of areas of European music. From actions to rebuild the music industry after the pandemic to worldwide monitoring of radio airplay – and much, much more. All these projects have one common denominator: An emphasis on international cooperation.
Once again this year, City SPOT will paint the town with colours from the entire musical palette during the festival.
SPOT introduced Nordic Beats for the first time in 2019 with the intent of giving a little more room on the stage to the growing Nordic urban and hip hop scene that is so often neglected. The concept takes a handful of upcoming acts and allows them one by one to take the stage. Again this year, the event will unfold at the venue Radar which for two hours will be transformed into the North’s hottest concentration of heavy beats and strong lyricism. This year’s edition of Nordic Beats is presented in collaboration with the trendsetting hip hop podcast Dråben, with Loui Bosch-Fellah og Emil Lilleeidet Seest of Dråben acting as hosts for the evening.
We’re merely a month away from SPOT 2022. What a crazy sentence to write, since it’s only half a year since we last gathered at the very heart of Aarhus. But we’re more than ready to celebrate music once again, together with a great audience and all the skilled musicians. Today, this year’s line-up is given yet another shot of vitamins in the shape of 11 additional acts on the poster!
For the first time ever, Aarhus Sound Arts Festival will be a part of the SPOT Festival-lineup, presenting the total-installation The Pink Experience No. II.
SPOT Festival is getting closer and closer and today we’re ready to throw an absolute jawbreaker of an announcement at you with 10 exceptionally great additions to this year’s lineup. Today’s acts include rap-royalty from the top of the Danish music scene, familiar names in new, alternative formats, as well as upcoming artists that are marching ahead with supersonic speed.
We’re once again ready to present a slew of new and exciting artists for this year’s SPOT Festival. Today we’re announcing no less than 11 great acts. Experimenting pop? Sure. Folk from Jutland? Of course. Faroese provocative punk? Always. True to tradition, there’s certainly something for everyone at SPOT 2022.
