Liebe Freunde des Melt! Festivals,
nur noch rund 30 Tage bis zum heißesten Festival der Saison. Das Lineup ist komplett und die Running Order steht. Letzte Zugänge sind Jape und Kakkmaddafakka aus Bergen, der Heimat Erlend Øyes und anderer illustrer Kapellen. Kakkmaddafakka sicherten sich über unsere Bandbewerbungsplattform Sonicbids den Opening Slot im Melt! Klub am Samstag. Freut Euch auf letzte News und neue Melt!Klub Partys. Außerdem: Der Soundtrack zum Festival steht. Die Melt! Compilation Volume 4 steht ab dem 4. Juli in den Läden. Kann man sich also gut merken.
ERLEND ØYE FEAT. KAKKMADDAFAKKA
Erlend Øye kennt man als eine Hälfte der Kings of Convenience und als Sänger der deutschen Band The Whitest Boy Alive. Und man kennt ihn als Solokünstler. Als solcher trifft er in diesem Jahr auf seine norwegischen Landsleute von Kakkmaddafakka. Ganz ohne Elektro-Elemente veranstalten diese Jungs einen Rabatz wie bei einem Rave. Trash meets 60s, Pop, Punk und sogar Ska. Sie sind unsere Sonicbids-Entdeckung. Sonicbids.com ist eine Plattform für junge Bands und hilft bei der Vermittlung an große Festivals. Kakkmaddafakka, die Band mit dem vielleicht besten Bandnamen und dem größten Partyfaktor ist die Neuentdeckung des diesjährigen Melt!
JAPE
Wer von dem irischen Ein-Mann-Projekt Jape nur ruhige Folksongs erwartet, irrt sich gewaltig. Jape schafft den Spagat zwischen ruhigen Akustiknummern und clubtauglichen Popsongs hervorragend. Die bereits mehrfach geremixte Single „Floating“ verspricht so einiges an Ohrwurmtauglichkeit, und diese Erwartungen werden von Jape’s weiteren Songs bestens erfüllt.
MELT! RUNNING ORDER
An welchem Tag spielen die Editors und lohnt sich der Sonntag tatsächlich?
Überschneiden sich Franz Ferdinand mit Lightspeed Champion und wer beschließt am Samstag die Gemini-Stage? Jetzt werden diese Fragen alle endlich geklärt - die diesjährige Running Order ist endlich online!
Und damit nicht genug: Mit unserem revolutionären Planungstool wird das Melt!-Wochenende perfekt. Einfach Lieblingsbands auswählen und das Tool erstellt einen individuellen Zeitplan mit allen wichtigen Informationen. Den Service gibt es unter www.meltfestival.de/runningorder
VIVA CON MELT!
Melt! unterstützt in diesem Jahr erstmals Viva con Agua. Die gemeinnützige Organisation versorgt in Zusammenarbeit mit der deutschen Hungerhilfe Menschen in Krisenregionen mit sauberem Trinkwasser. Schon seit Jahren tingelt die Organisation von Festival zu Festival, um für ihre Aktionen zu sammeln. Und in diesem Jahr sind sie erstmals auch auf dem Melt! dabei. Kein Anstehen mehr bei der Becherabgabe - einfach spenden und den Bierkonsum zur guten Tat mausern. Viva con Agua sammelt die Pfandbecher und gibt diese dann gesammelt ab.

Dear Colleagues, dear Friends of Melt! Festival,
Only about 30 days to go until the hottest festival of the season! The line-up is complete and the running order finalised. Last to be added to the bill are Jape and Kakkmaddafakka from Bergen, home of Erlend Øye and other illustrious ensembles. Kakkmaddafakka secured the opening slot in the Melt!Klub on the Saturday through our band application platform Sonicbids. Look forward to the latest news and new Melt!Klub parties! Plus: the festival soundtrack is good to go - Melt! Compilation Volume 4 will be in shops from 4th July. That’s an easy one to remember.
ERLEND ØYE FEAT. KAKKMADDAFAKKA You’ll have heard of Erlend Øye as one half of Kings of Convenience, and as the vocalist for German band The Whitest Boy Alive. You’ll also have heard of him a solo artist. And it’s in that capacity that he’ll be hooking up with his Norwegian compatriots Kakkmaddafakka this year. These guys make a racket to rival a rave, and they do it entirely without electro elements. Trash meets 60s, pop, punk and even ska. They are our Sonicbids discovery. Sonicbids.com is a platform for young bands that helps new artists get gigs at large festivals. Kakkmaddafakka, the band with quite possibly the best band name and the biggest party factor, is the new discovery at this year’s Melt! |  |
JAPE
Whoever thought this one man act from Ireland just boils down to quiet folk songs will definitely be proven wrong. Jape is a successful balance act between soft acoustic tunes and catchy pop songs. His single "Floating" has been remixed multiple times and provokes nothing less than the irresistible urge to dance. Of course, it’s understood that this undeniable fact can be applied to Jape’s other songs.
MELT! RUNNING ORDER
What day are the Editors playing, and is the Sunday really worth it? Do Franz Ferdinand and Lightspeed Champion’s sets overlap, and who’s closing the Gemini Stage on Saturday? At last, all these questions are answered – this year’s running order is finally online!
And that’s not all: Our revolutionary planning tool will make your Melt! weekend perfect.
Just select your favourite bands, and the tool will create an individual schedule containing all the information you need. You can access this service at www.meltfestival.de/runningorder

Sensational!

Shrubbn (T. Raumschmiere & Schieres LIVE), Warren Suicide, Daniel Meteo and other acts will be melting down the Beatclub at the official Melt! Opening Night in Dessau. A free bus shuttle between the Melt! camping area and the Beatclub will get you there and back again.

VIVA CON MELT!
Melt! is supporting Viva con Agua for the first time this year. In collaboration with Deutsche Welthungerhilfe, this charitable organisation supplies people in crisis areas with clean drinking water. The organisation has been trekking from festival to festival for years to raise money for its activities, and this year they will also be joining us at Melt!. No more queuing to return your beaker – simply donate and transform your alcohol intake into a good deed. Viva con Agua will collect and return the beakers, and the deposit goes towards funding their work.
