PJ Harvey, Chvrches join 2016 Open’er Festival

PJ Harvey and Chvrches will join headliners Florence & The Machine and Red Hot Chili Peppers at next year’s Open’er Festival in Poland.

The festival is to be held in Gdynia between June 29nd-July 2nd, and adds PJ Harvey after she was confirmed to top Field Day in London shortly before visiting Poland.

Harvey spent time this year sharing recording sessions for a new album with the public – sessions which followed her second Mercury Prize triumph for 2011’s ‘Let England Shake‘.

“Polly Jean is a musical genius, and now she’s practically cemented the fact,” Live4ever’s review reads. “The depth of the composition woven from sound through lyric now ascends the ages, and proves to show that what is now the eighth album from Harvey is possibly the most accomplished.”

“A stand-out line from the song ‘All and Everyone‘ pertains that “Death was in the stare of sun, fixing it’s eyes on everyone”. Beautifully personified and a perfectly universal metaphor.”
