Kendrick Lamar @ Leeds Festival (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
Kendrick Lamar, The Strokes, HAIM and Brittany Howard have brought the announcements for this year’s Roskilde Festival to an epic conclusion.
Also completing the bill for the Denmark event, which will be held between June 27th- July 4th, are the likes of The Roots, DaBaby, Ride, Charli XCX, Bicep, Big Thief, Tinariwen, Perfume Genius and Waxahatchee, while Dave is on there too soon after his debut Psychodrama picked up the Brit Award for Best Album.
“It’s the record’s simplicity that makes it work,” our review reads. “Dave has realised the demons and desires he and others face and is talking directly to them, not hiding behind them.”
“This kind of honesty isn’t just harder than it looks, it takes an awareness most could never admit to. And to make this voice a truly compelling and integral listen is an amazing achievement. Psychodrama hides behind nothing, musically, lyrically or conceptually. It’s a beautifully simple and honest record that says precisely what it means.”
