Weeks highlights

Dutch singer songwriter Jacco Gardner brings his slice of hazy washed out neo psychedelic songs to the Rockhal this Thurday night. His new album ‘Hypnophobia’ was released this week and you can expect much of the same summer vibes as the last record, keeping it 60s infused psych pop, think Syd Barrett Pink Floyd.

CarréRotondes are throwing a leaving party to celebrate the 7 years they enjoyed at Exit07 and to look forward to their new home. They’ll be joined by Blueprint (DJ set), Napoleon Gold (DJ set) & Sun Glitters to name just a few, I’m sure this will be a worthy send off for what I feel was one of the best venues in Luxembourg.

The Irish indie folk band Villagers, fronted by Conor O’Brien, will be playing Rockhal this Saturday night. Compared to Bright Eyes, O’Brien’s carefully crafted indie-folk being underpinned by an eerie sense of disquiet. “Darling Arithmetic” is the third album from Villagers, released on 13 April 2015. The follow-up to the debut, “Becoming a Jackal”, and its successor, “Awayland” – both hugely acclaimed and Mercury-nominated. Support from Luxembourg’s own ‘Seed To Tree’
