We’re back! In the best possible moment – it's winter outside the window, and we have for you the first details regarding next year’s Orange Warsaw Festival! We have been revealing the names on the wall of one of the Warsaw buildings, and now we have collected them together. See you on June 1 and 2 at Horce Racetrack Warszawa – Służewiec, where you’ll see: Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith, LCD Soundsystem and Tyler, the Creator!!!
Sam Smith will headline June 1, day later we’ll see Florence + The Machine in this role. Florence Welch and her band collect successes since the end of the previous decade, when the debut album “Lungs” was released. Until today the band released 3 albums and works on another, which fragments may be presented in June in Warsaw.
With no doubts Sam Smith’s first concert in Poland will be an important event, as he is the one of the most popular vocalists in recent years, Oscar and four Grammy Awards winner. Since his debut, Sam Smith has been listed as one of the most anticipated artists in our country.
The New York based band, LCD Soundsystem returned in 2016 with a series of well received concerts, and what’s the most important, the band gave their fans even more – the first, new album since 7 years ago. It surely will be on the best spots in the music summaries of 2017. LCD Soundsystem’s concert at Orange Warsaw Festival will be their first performance in the capital city.
The list with four names in next year’s Orange Warsaw Festival line-up ends today with Tyler, the Creator, an interesting figure in American hip hop, a rapper, producer, TV personality, and a great showman who can make use of his skills on the stage. He’ll come to Warsaw with his brand new album “Flower Boy”.
Florence + The Machine “Lungs”, “Ceremonials” and “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” – three studio albums thanks to which Florence + The Machine became ultra popular, not only in Great Britain. The combination of a commercial success and artistic fulfilment, which is a dream come true for every artist. The band’s music has been evolving since their first singles, and if one is to put it into certain frames, it is a baroque pop with a great doze of indie rock. Everything evolves around Florence’s incredible voice – she can sing the hardest sequences with full purity of the sound, which combined with the talent to write touching melodies
and choosing great producers, the success
was just a matter of time. This year Florence + The Machine celebrated 10th anniversary of the band. It was rather quiet and peaceful celebration, as the fireworks are about to start next year with the release of the fourth album. Will we hear it before their performance at Orange Warsaw Festival?
Sam Smith Sam Smith’s debut album was released 3,5 years ago, making Sam one of the greatest contemporary artists with over 12 million copies of his album sold, and an amazing number of awards on his account, among them: Oscar, Golden Globe, four Grammy Awards and three BRIT Awards. All of this thanks to the album „In the Lonely Hour” and the song „Writing’s On The Wall” – the theme song in latest Bond movie. His brand new album „The Thrill of It All” was the most anticipated album this year and it has already reached the top of charts in the USA, Great Britain, Canada, Scandinavia or New Zealand. Sam Smith has just
announced a gigantic tour for 2018. We’re
particularly interested in one date – June 1.
LCD Soundsystem James Murphy established the LCD Soundsystem band in 2002. Their music was something refreshing on the New York stage dominated by the guitar sound. All the three albums by LCD Soundsystem – self-tiled debut (2005), “Sound Of Silver” (2007) and “This is Happening” – were milestones as well for the genre as for the band itself. All these albums received great reviews and contributed to creation of the band's certain image, perfectly combining retro with new music trends. Murphy himself, became a wanted producer, and the greatest stars desired his attention. After “This Is Happening” release and a
series of concerts in Madison Square
Garden the band ended its activity. With the release of “Christmas Will Break Your Heart” at the end of 2015 it became obvious that they were back in the game. “American Dream”, the bands fourth album was released on September 1, 2017 and went straight to the top spot of American Billboard. Music summaries of 2017 will be dominated by this album, and 2018 will bring us their concert at Orange Warsaw Festival.
Tyler, the Creator Tyler, the Creator is an interesting figure. For years he has been the leader and cofounder of Odd Future. Tyler as one of the first began his solo carrier. His debut mixtape from 2009 “Bastard” marked the artistic path of the rapper, which was based on self-sufficiency. He composed and produced practically all the songs on his four studio albums. He’s been making his own videos, that are small works of art. He has been nominated to MTV Video Award for the “Yonkers” video. His all four albums – “Goblin”, “Wolf”, “Cherry Bomb” and “Flower Boy” - were in the top five of American Billboard, and the brand new
album “Flower Boy” was an inch away from
the success, losing to Lana Del Rey, our headliner from 2016. Although Tyler’s hip hop has quite complicated formula, which is far from the radio hits, the artist gets through to a wide audience, mainly with his live performances, which we’ll experience on June 2 in Warsaw.
