UPDATE: Now, as much as we like to tease, we’re too damn excited to hold back the information any longer. We can now reveal that is none other than the inimitable Goldfrapp! The game changing electronic duo will be heading up the bill, joining Jon Hopkins, Milky Chance, Mac DeMarco and Vimes at Cologne’s E-Werk on May 23rd. Always ahead of the curve, the English pop eccentrics’ various permutations have seen them go from trashy-glamorous electroclash envoys, weirdo disco doyens and eldritch folk outliers in their fifteen year lifespan. Their most recent album, 2013’s stunning Tales of Us was their most personal record yet, pulling together the intimate, stripped back songwriting they recently perfected and the sweeping beauty of their debut Felt Mountain. Live, they’re always been an incendiary prospect—remember the theremin?—and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for this most intriguing period of their career.

After the excitement surrounding our EB Festival Prague announcement—which resulted in tickets being sold out in less than four hours—we know you’ve been waiting to hear more news about further festival lineups. Well, today’s the day,Cologners! Mostly… we’re such teases, we know! But to whet your appetites, we’re here to tell you most of who will be joining us this year at Cologne’s E-Werk on May 23rd!
About the artists:
You probably recall the 2013 chart-topping hit “Stolen Dance” from folk-pop project Milky Chance—the duo of vocalist and musician Clemens Rehbein and DJ Philipp Dausch—or perhaps the 2013 debut album it preceded, Sadnecessary. Their quirky blend of electronic and reggae influences garnered them a sold-out tour in their native Germany and a larger European tour launching this year, of which our Cologne event will be the highlight.
Jon Hopkins has worked with names ranging from Brian Eno and Coldplay to Four Tet and David Lynch. He’s even chilled with our very own Slices team, which you can watch below. His recent album Immunity was nominated for the Mercury Prize, and one listen reveals why; with its haunting moments of beauty and emotional ambiance, it perfectly captures the resonance of a really good night out. We can’t wait to see him bring that kind of power to the stage!
Coming all the way from Canada, Mac DeMarco‘s particular blend of glammy, woozy jams have been described as “slacker rock” and “jizz jazz”, and should go down quite well for fans of the inimitable Ariel Pink and other outsider weirdos. And opening the night is local electro-pop duo Vimes.
