26. Auflage Der Fête De La Musique in Düdelingen PRESSEMITTEILUNG – 24.05.2019 26. Auflage der Fête de la Musique in Düdelingen Am Samstag, den 15. Juni heißt die Stadt Dudelange Sie herzlich willkommen zu der 26. Fête de la Musique in Folge in einer außergewöhnlichen Atmosphäre mit rund 80 Bands, Solokünstlern und DJs wie FRANK TURNER & THE SLEEPING SOULS (UK), LEA (D), THE CORONAS (IRL), AVEC (AUT), RYAN SHERIDAN (IRL), MATHEA (AUT) und lokale Künstler wie MAD FOX, SEED TO TREE, GO BY BROOKS, CHAILD, VERSUS YOU, FALLING SERENADE, NAPOLEON GOLD, MAKA MC, DON GIO, SCHËPPE SIWEN, C'EST KARMA, RAMBLIN' SOUTH, DJUJU oder STRYSLES... Ganz in der Tradition der Fête de la Musique sind die angebotenen Konzerte natürlich kostenlos. Im Laufe der Jahre hat die Fête de la Musique in Düdelange einen großartigen Erfolg verzeichnet und zieht heute ein Publikum an, das von weit außerhalb der luxemburgischen Grenzen anreist. Mit einem lokalen und internationalen Angebot von Rock bis Pop, elektronischer Musik und Blues, ist die Fête de la Musique eine feste Größe im jährlichen Veranstaltungskalender! Auf zehn Open-Air-Bühnen und in vier Bars und Cafés der Stadt treten Bands und Musiker auf und laden Musikliebhaber ein, durch die Straßen und Gassen zu schlendern, um das vielfältige und abwechslungsreiche Musikprogramm zu entdecken. Im Stadtzentrum sorgen zahlreiche Verpflegungsstände für das Wohl der Besucher. Aus Rücksicht auf die Umwelt und zur Reduzierung der Kunststoffabfälle bieten die Stände der Fête de la Musique dieses Jahr wiederverwendbare Becher an. Die Besucher können jene Becher kaufen und nach jeder Nutzung kostenlos an den Ständen reinigen lassen. Die Becher können natürlich nach der Veranstaltung als Souvenir mit nach Hause genommen werden. Herkömmliche Plastikbecher werden auf der diesjährigen Fête de la Musique noch genutzt, bevor sie ab der nächsten Edition durch eine ökologischere Alternative ersetzt werden. Die Catering-Stände werden bereits zu dieser Edition keine Plastikschalen und kein Plastikbesteck mehr verwenden. Ab Freitag, den 14. Juni um 20 Uhr, laden die Amis de l’Orgue de Dudelange und die Orgelklassen der Musikschulen Dudelange (Klasse von Gilles Leyers) und Bascharage (Klasse von Paul Kayser) zu ihrem traditionellen PRELUDE in der St. Martinskirche ein. Eine Führung der Orgel steht ebenfalls auf dem Programm. Die FOLK & BLUES STAGE, unterstützt durch Garage Roby Cruciani, empfängt am Samstag DJUJUU, LAYMAN'S LAW, MARC WELTER'S JOINT BUNCH, RAMBLIN' SOUTH, SCHËPPE SIWEN und die talentierte Screaming Fields Gewinnerin C’EST KARMA! Am Nachmittag ist die PARC STAGE im Emile Mayrisch Park ausschließlich den Nachwuchsmusikern der lokalen Musikvereine und der benachbarten Gemeinden sowie der Musikschule vorbehalten. Um 13 Uhr tritt der talentierte armenische Akkordeonist MHER MKRTCHYAN auf, dicht gefolgt von verschiedenen Kinder- und Jugendgruppen ab 14 Uhr. Ab 15 Uhr sind die musikbegeisterten Kleinen dann zu einer musikalischen Schnitzeljagd eingeladen. Die ACOUSTIC STAGE, die wegen Arbeiten in den Parc Emile Mayrisch verlegt wurde, bietet ab dem frühen Abend akustische Sets von CHLOROPHYL, ANDREA ARPETTI, STELISE und LATA GOUVEIA. Auch die YOUTH STAGE ist wieder jungen Musikern gewidmet und wird erneut von der Maison des Jeunes de Dudelange in Zusammenarbeit mit dem SNJ geleitet: mit der LBV BAND, CT & SOUTHBOY, CHAREL & SERGEJ, PARITY, LTETT BAND und den etwas älteren, aber unumgänglichen BLUES GANGSTERS! Ganz nach lokaler Tradition bietet die WHY NOT STAGE ein vielseitiges Programm mit verschiedenen COMBOS der REGIONALEN MUSIKSCHULE unter der Leitung von Pit Dahm, Joël Heyard und Erik Teuwens. Ab 17:20 Uhr, Bühne frei für POSTCARDS (indie-Band aus Beirut), DON GIO, MAKA MC, STRYSLES, FALLING SERENADE, VERSUS YOU und NAPOLEON GOLD. Die PLANET STAGE auf dem Nelson-Mandela-Platz gleich neben dem Düdelinger Rathaus, begrüßt dieses Jahr das nationale Talent CHAILD (fka Adrian), Projekt des Singer-Songwriters Adriano Lopes da Silva, der durch seine fesselnde Stimme und seine persönlichen Texte überzeugt. Die junge österreichische Sängerin MATHEA nahm 2016 an The Voice of Germany teil (bei der sie die Sing Offs, 3. Stufe des Wettbewerbs, erreichte) und veröffentlichte im Oktober 2018 ihre erste Single,'2x', die sich schnell als Nummer 1 in den österreichischen Charts positionierte. Anfang 2019 wurde sie auf Youtube unter die 10 Künstler gewählt, die man dieses Jahr beobachten sollte (artist to watch)! Der irische Multi-Instrumentalist RYAN SHERIDAN begann seine Karriere im Alter von 15 Jahren als Performer für die renommierte ‘Riverdance The Show’. Inspiriert vom musikalischen New Yorker Melting Pot schrieb Ryan seine ersten Songs und spielte in Bars und Pubs. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Dublin erhielt Ryan seinen ersten Auftrag bei einem seiner Konzerte in der berühmten Temple Bar. 2015 heimste sein erstes Album "The day you live forever" Platin ein und die Hits ‘Jigsaw’, ‘Walking in the Air’ und ‘Upside Down’ sind heute weit über seine Heimat hinaus bekannt. Nach einer fast ausverkauften Tournee im Frühjahr 2019 als Special Guest von Rea Garvay und Max Giesinger wird Ryan Sheridan nun in Düdelingen sein aktuelles Album ‘Here and Now’ präsentieren. Die österreichische Sängerin und Gitarristin AVEC veröffentlichte 2016 ihr erstes Album ‘What if we never forget’ mit u.a. dem Song ‘Granny’ (6 Millionen Klicks auf Spotify). Dieser unerwartete, aber wohlverdiente Erfolg plazierte sie ohne Weiteres in die Albumcharts ihres Heimatlandes. Ihr zweites Album ‘Heaven/Hell’, das 2018 publiziert wurde, hatte den gleichen Erfolg zu verzeichnen. AVEC’s intim heisere, aber auch zärtliche Stimme, ihre bewegenden Texte und große Sensibilität ziehen das Publikum magisch in ihren Bann. Seit ihrem Auftritt auf der FDLM 2016 gewann sie den renommierten Amadeus-Preis in der Kategorie "Alternative" sowie den Music Moves Europe Talent Award (Cat. Singer- Songwriter). Die luxemburgische Indie-Band SEED TO TREE ist seit mehr als 10 Jahren in der europäischen Szene aktiv und hat gerade ihr neues Album ‘Proportions’ veröffentlicht. Ihre melancholischen, aber leichten Klänge sind die Wegweiser zu ihren energiegeladenen Live- Auftritten, die Sie zum Feiern und Abdriften einladen! Die MAIN STAGE, Hauptbühne der Fête de la Musique, wird dieses Jahr durch das lokale Quintett GO BY BROOKS eröffnet. Die Band wurde 2013 gegründet und zeichnet sich seit jeher durch ihren melancholischen Rock aus. Nach zwei EPs produzierten Go By Brooks 2018 ihr erstes Album ‘Another Flame’. Die irische Hitband THE CORONAS (auf keinen Fall verpassen!) begeistert ihre Fans mit ihren introspektiven, aber sehr beliebten Songs und Balladen. Die Gruppe um Sänger Danny O'Reilly hat bislang 5 Studioalben veröffentlicht, darunter das gefeierte'Trust the Wire' (2017). Ihr zweites Album, Tony was an Ex-Con' (2009), wurde übrigens bei den Meteor Awards 2010 als Best Irish Album ausgezeichnet. Nach zwei Platin-Alben, einer Vielzahl von Top Ten-Songs und ausverkauften Stadien erobern die vier Musiker nun die Herzen der Luxemburger Fans mit der brandneuen Single ‘Find the Water’ (VÖ am 24. Mai) und einem neuen Album im März 2020. Die deutsche Popsängerin LEA, die seit ihren frühen Teenagertagen Songs komponiert, zieht mit ihrem einzigartigen Universum und nachdenklichen Songs in ihren Bann. Ihre Single 'Leiser' feierte bei den Radiosendern einen explosiven Erfolg und brachte sie in Deutschland zu ihrer ersten goldenen Schallplatte. Die Hitsingle ‘Zu Dir' folgte im Mai 2018. Beide Songs sind auf ihrem zweiten Album 'Zwischen meinen Zeilen' zu finden und werden mit Sicherheit auch auf der Fête de la Musique auf der Setliste stehen. FRANK TURNER ist der erfolgreichste britische Solokünstler der letzten zehn Jahre. Der Punk-Folk-Troubadour, der sich weigert, sich einer musikalischen Kategorie anzuschließen, hat bislang sieben Soloalben (und 5 EPs) veröffentlicht, von denen das letzte mit dem Titel ‘Be more kind’ im Mai 2018 veröffentlicht wurde. Seine einzigartige Energie und zahlreichen Tourneen lassen seine internationale Fangemeinde unaufhaltsam wachsen. Nach seinem atemberaubenden Auftritt bei der FDLM vor 5 Jahren darf das Publikum ihn dieses Jahr wieder willkommen heißen und seine Hymnen wie ‘Recovery", ‘I still believe’, oder ‘Photosynthesis’ lauthals mitsingen. Die luxemburgische Band MAD FOX um den charismatischen Frontmann Jimmy Leen ist weitgehend von den Klängen der 1960er und 1970er Jahre inspiriert. Die Sechser-Bande komponiert Classic Rock-Songs und zögert aber nicht, sich auch in die Welt des Pop zu wagen. Ihre anregenden Melodien versprechen eine ausgelassene Stimmung und laden das Publikum zum Tanzen und Weiterfeiern ein. ♪ Ab 01:00 Uhr geht das Musikfestival in den Bars und Cafés in der Innenstadt weiter! ♫ Fête de la Musique 2019 in Düdelingen, am Samstag den 15.

  • The Coronas' First New Album in Three
    For Release on February 18, 2020 THE CORONAS’ FIRST NEW ALBUM IN THREE YEARS “TRUE LOVE WAITS” SET FOR WORLDWIDE RELEASE ON MAY 29 New Video for “Haunted” Single Now Available as Band Plans to Kick Off 2020 U.S. Tour in Chicago on April 11 The Coronas, one of Ireland’s biggest and best-loved bands, are set for the worldwide release of TRUE LOVE WAITS, their first album in three years. The band’s long- awaited sixth album will be available via the band’s SoFarSoGood Records imprint, distributed by Blix Street Records, on May 29, 2020. The Coronas—front man and lead singer Danny O’Reilly, bass guitarist Graham Knox and drummer Conor Egan-- have embarked on 2020 as a three-piece band following the amicable departure of lead guitarist Dave McPhillips at the end of the year and recently rolled out the single “Haunted” as a prelude to the new album. Known for their visually captivating music videos, the latest one for “Haunted,” shot in a seemingly abandoned cabin accessible by trudging through the deep snows of Bulgaria’s winter, is yet another example of the band’s creative vision. This cinematic feast was produced by Luke Murphy and directed by John Broe, who has made several of The Coronas’ videos over the past three years. In this video, as Broe explains, “We see a guy (Graham) who's been alone for a long time, travelling day after day to some location, but we aren't sure why. He may be delusional, he may have magic powers or there may be a presence in the room with him guiding him, but we know there is some link between the powers in the house and the portal that opens on the mountain.

  • “Take a Chance…!”
    For Release on November 23, 2020 “Take a chance…!” THE CORONAS WILL RELEASE DELUXE VERSION OF #1 IRISH CHART ALBUM “TRUE LOVE WAITS” WITH BONUS MATERIAL FOR HOLIDAY SEASON Band’s Annual Holiday Concerts Become A Major Livestream Event from Dublin’s Olympia Theatre on Saturday, December 12 at 8PM GMT Due to Pandemic Shutdown For Ireland’s popular band The Coronas, the holiday season has always meant live concerts in their homeland. For nearly a decade, the band has played a series of shows at Dublin’s historic Olympia Theatre during the lead up to Christmas along with other stops, which, for many have become an integral part of their holiday traditions. Last year, as example, included three SRO shows at the Olympia plus additional concerts in Dublin and other cities, coinciding with that year’s release of THE CORONAS—LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA, recorded during their 2018 holiday run. 2020’s coronavirus pandemic and its resultant furlough of live concerts has forced The Coronas, who have had to endure the misfortune of sharing their name of the virus, to pivot. With Ireland on a new lockdown to control the spread, The Coronas are moving the festivities to everyone’s living rooms, with a full production concert livestreamed from the stage of the Olympia Theatre, this year with Covid-19 safety protocols in place. Called the “Nowhere We’d Rather Stream” show, a play on the name of their pandemic- cancelled “Nowhere We’d Rather Be” festival, the fun begins at 8PM GMT on Saturday, December 12. The show is available to all on a pay-what-what-you-can basis.

    IYMAs OFFICIAL PROGRAMME Irish Youth Music Awards NATIONAL DAY AVIVA STADIUM Sat April 16 2016 IYMAs National Day Hello and welcome to the ninth Irish Youth Music Awards National Day. It’s been a brilliant year with lots of regional events throughout the coun- try and lots of new clubs and projects getting involved in the IYMAs programme. It’s been a pleasure to travel up and down the country and see the brilliant talent and communi- ties of young people working together to create their own music scenes within their youth clubs and projects. Today is about them and showcasing what they do and most importantly for those involved to have fun meet new friends and create new connec- tions with other young people doing the same things in their communities. We see the IYMAs as a stepping stone for those involved to learn new skills and to further their journey into em- ployment and education opportunities within the creative and music industry that exists within Ireland and overseas. Thank you so much for coming and special thanks to all our sponsors, supporters, youth leaders, clubs, projects and most importantly all the young people involved, have a great day. Barry Lennon, Director Irish Youth Music Awards Youth Work Ireland would like to welcome you all to ninth National Day for the IYMAs which marks the launch of Youth Work Ireland Week 2016.

  • For Release on January 22, 2021 IRISH SINGER RÓISÍN O
    For Release on January 22, 2021 IRISH SINGER RÓISÍN O RELEASES ‘HEART + BONES’ SINGLE ON JANUARY 22nd IN WAKE OF COVID CRISIS Ireland, like the UK and much of Europe, has been under lockdown on and off for the past year, but for Irish singer Róisín O, it became the impetus for creating new music. Her new single, HEART + BONES. will be released by Blix Street Records on January 22 via all digital platforms. A fresh, new anthem from one of Ireland’s most exciting and talented exports, HEART + BONES is the first of four tracks born from the Covid19 crisis and resultant lockdown that will be included in an upcoming Róisín O EP planned for later this year. Listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/roisinomusic/sets/heart-bones/s-3edwcLmUhCe Co-written with Danny O’Reilly of The Coronas while in isolation in Dingle in southwest Ireland, the song’s powerful lyrics, combined with Róisín O’s undeniable vocal depth, elevates HEART + BONES to something at once intimate and epic. The single, produced by Philip Magee (Kodaline, Wild Youth, The Script, The Academic), soars effortlessly, constantly building, as Róisín O belts out the poignant lyrics in a commanding performance that hooks you from the start. “It’s a song I was supposed to write a very long time ago and never did,” she explains. “It’s a confession, a truth that I’d been suppressing for a long while. It’s the most honest thing I’ve ever written.” Following her 2012 debut album THE SECRET LIFE OF BLUE, Róisín O went on to release a number of successful singles, among them the originals “Better This Way,” “Give It Up” and “Warn Me of Silence” as well as her take on Sia’s “Chandelier,” which received over a million online views.
