That officially locks in the festival’s roster, true to its mission of offering a sampling of the current moment’s choicest artists, as well as being a space for references who in the past laid the foundations for today’s music and have known how to adapt to our new times. It’s a reflection of the musical panorama of the present, and a bid on new sounds and names that are forging the future of music. Among them are highlights of such diverse ilk as THE BLAZE, one of the most stimulating electronic projects of the moment; HOT CHIP, a long-standing staple of British electronic pop; IDLES, the new wave of punk; BROCKHAMPTON, hip-hop collective revolutionizing the scene with their steamrolling act; NILS FRAHM, who’s managed to put a piano and synth album on the top-of-the-year lists; MODESELEKTOR LIVE, shapeshifting since the ‘90s while shaping global electronica; VETUSTA MORLA, a mainstay of Spanish rock raising the roof wherever they go; LAURENT GARNIER, giving lessons in electronica for 35 years now and VINCE STAPLES, a pivotal figure in the new era of hip-hop and rap. Then there are the avant-garde spaces like BASOA, the festival’s electronica forest; LASAI, a corner for indulging in the pleasure of downtempo grooving; and more much more contributing to the great sensory experience that is Bilbao BBK Live 2019!
