After a bunch of very favourable reviews coming out of last year’s installment and even an award won, Melt Festival is back for another year, once more at the Ferropolis…
The lineup is as yet a bit hazy, but confirmed headliners so far include a newly reformed Pulp and electronic producer Paul Kalkbrenner as well as, more interestingly, the Streets, Cut Copy, Atari Teenage Riot and DAF.
Some person called Robyn is on the bill too, but until someone can explain to us the fascination with her, she’ll not be getting too much of a mention.
Tickets are around 105-110 (including something about a garbage deposit) and there are no single day tickets. You’re in for the whole thing if you’re in for it at all. Tickets include camping and, we hope, showers and toilets. Which is a good thing, there’s nothing worse than heading off for a weekend of music and ending up spending three days in some concert promoter’s scale replica of a North African refugee camp. Been there, done that.
Here’s a live number from Pulp, recorded 1998 here in Berlin…
