Esbjerg Rock Festival



Esbjerg Rock Festival
Saturday - June 16 2007 - 12:00 to 24:00
Festivalpladsen - Gl. Vardevej - 6700 Esbjerg - Denmark

http://www.80erfestival.dk/

Artists:
Alphaville
Nena (in the beginning synthpop, but later on poprock - biggest hit "99 Luftballons")
Belinda Carlisle (pop - biggest hits "Heaven is a place on earth" and "I get weak")
Jimmy Sommerville (synthpop - the singer from Bronski Beat and The Communards)
Midge Ure (synthpop - the singer from Ultravox)
T'Pau (poprock - biggest hits "China in your hand" and "Heart and soul")
One Two (Danish band - rock)
Rocazino (Danish band - synthpop)

To call it a rockfestival is to me a bit strange, because most of the 8 bands who are performing are synthbased bands who had their big time in the 80s. Last year the festival was called "A day in the 80s" which is a lot more correct. I was not at the festival last year, but my guess is that all artists will play 60-90 minutes and in between there will be 80s music played in a big tent where 4 Danish DJs who where big in the 80s will flip some records.

Alphavillefans who we know are joining this event:

Willy Nielsen (wii)
Peter Krappinger (Krapplund)
Lisa Larsson (Lisa)
Poul Erik Andersen (poul e)
Jonas Persson (Tjommen)
Nils Olsson
Ken Simonsen
Thomas Toftgaard
Morten Toftdahl
Michael Kristensen + friend Michael
David Witkowski (davidhorizon)
Patrik Karlsson (Patten)
Trond Sørøy (Trond)
Svein Erik Vatle
Patrick Anthony Ryan

Anyone know a great place to stay in Esbjerg? We better start looking for a place as I think all hostels, hotels etc will be full the weekend of this event. I have started looking for a place for us. Members of New Horizons will have first priority.

Yeah, it seems it´s not a problem to get a train at around 4 am to Copenhagen - no problems, we have done this many times.

I might come too!
My parents would agree with it but we dont know yet how much the trip will cost.
I think few more german fans would come to denmark too...

I hope I can make it...
