Janelle Monáe
Friday
Janelle Monáe (20:45 pm, Grolsch)
Prince as a girl. Janelle Monáe from Atlanta just like the Purple Monarch the belief that there are limits to be exceeded. The singer / style icon is no stranger to concept albums that monumental musical-like construction drawings are interspersed with soul and pop. But are just as much the dirtiest funk at the moment. (PC)
Atomic Bomb (17:45 pm, Bravo)
One of the best compilations of recent years, with work from the seventies and eighty of the Nigerian synthesizer pioneer William Onyeabor. It inspired a bunch of contemporary pop musicians into a real tribute, which has made quite an impression live elsewhere. Damon Albarn Lowlands will not be there, but Hot Chips Alex Taylor and members of LCD soundsytem and keyboardist Money Mark. (GK)

Daniël Arends
Daniël Arends and Jan Jaap van der Wal (21:00, Juliet – 22:45, Juliet)
enthusiast should cabaret Friday are in the Juliet. Intelligent, contrarian stand-up comedy of Daniel Arends – openly admired by Theo Maassen in ’24 hour … ‘- and Jan Jaap van der Wal, who festivalgoers harshly actuality will rub. (PvdH)
Literaturfest (16:00, Romeo)
After 3 seasons, 16 episodes and 53 guests Literaturfest stopped there last May with it. It had been enough, were founders Tim de Gier (Free Netherlands), Toine Donk (Das Magazin) and Ernst-Jan Pfauth (Correspondent). But organizing one literary talk show on Lowlands? It was still there in, found Donk and Pfauth. So go watch MC Fit, Typhoon and Vjèze Fur come talk about their favorite children. (JF)
Bassekou Kouyaté (16:30, Lima)
Hard Afrikaans rock on small wooden guitars, which are seen as the forerunner of the banjo. According musicologists It can. The Malian Bassekou Kouyaté proves desert music does not always have to meander and whining, but that you can also headbanging to fierce plucking n’goni programs. Do not be put off by the cheesy genre designation ‘world music’ in any case. (RvG)
The Growlers (19:10, Charlie)
The Growlers sound at first hearing like a standard guitar band from California; a decidedly sunny garage sound with swinging surf guitars, choirs and a lot of echo and reverb. But who listens carefully, hear the slackers not only sing a carefree existence: it rains sometimes on the beach of The Growlers. (JF)
Saturday
Trouble Man & amp; Frascati Productions – ‘Dutch Airing I: Jeremiah (12:30, Juliet)
Two young theater went in search of the limits of freedom of expression. In ‘Dutch Airing 1: Jeremiah “they tell their story. Personal and funny anecdotes about include PVV provoking neighbors Twitter Stalkers and ruthless anti-fascists eventually lead them to the house of Wil Schuurman, the widow of Hans Janmaat. There, the pair confronted with their own prejudices. (UK)
Larry Gus (14:30, X-Ray)
Delicious disturbed dj / producer from Greece that a barrage of beats and samples on his audience released. There is no escape and standing still is not an option, as was previously the various festivals where Gus was the great voice synthesizer. Eurosonic Motel Mozaïque and Best Kept Secret went to Lowlands. Who saw him there, had for days about anything else. (GK)

Karl Ove Knausgard
Knausgard (14:15 pm, Romeo)
Knausgard Have you read it? An unavoidable question in the summer months, since Part 1 of the six-part novel series My Struggle (Min Kamp) of the Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgård in 2011 was translated into Dutch. With raw realistic autobiographical books, which he does not spare himself, modest Noor grew into a worldwide bestselling author. Whoever this guy is, and what success does to him, can you all hear from him on Saturday afternoon. (JF)
Gesaffelstein (21:30 pm, Bravo)
Kanye West last album was co Yeezus so well by the techno-artist Mike Levy. If Gesaffelstein produced the Frenchman include the single Black Skinhead. You hear Levy’s abrasive industrial noise it back. While his work can also caress with this typical French disco sound. A pleasant change from sharp-edged and soft focus. (PC)
James Holden (19:40 pm, Bravo)
British dance producer James Holden is the musical intellectual kind. He makes techno as high art, and listening to his album The Inheritors example almost feels like a spiritual experience. That he can give live full throttle and a dance tent can vibrate, he left all heard, for example, Awakenings techno festival. May be at Lowlands anyway not missed, because Holden will find this edition much needed depth and dancing voltage concerns. (RvG)

Ronald Snijders
Ronald Snijders (21:30 pm, Bravo)
Absurdism top shelf by Ronald Snijders. He goes where Kamagurka stops. His site is called Normal People, which does not apply to self-cutters. (PvdH)
Real Estate (13:15, India)
Real Estate, you will need it on Saturday afternoon. Who saw them in February this year in the upper room of Paradiso, could only hope that they would come back. During the summer Their latest album Atlas – dream-pop: soft vocals, melancholic guitar lines and repetitive choruses – it is best suited for a lost weekend in August. (JF)
Jungle (17:15, Bravo)
The place was packed, mid-January this year in the Simplon Groningen. Every year has Eurosonic pretty much attraction which all bookers, festival bosses agents and other music professionals have put their sights. Jungle waved away, but never exuberant. The music sometimes sounded grim, but always remained breathe. It has created something new and fresh with well-known building blocks. (GK)
Sunday
Royal Blood (18:30, India)
Descendants of the White Stripes. With only bass and drums, this British duo plays upbeat rock ‘n’ roll. More metal than blues, and thus is immediately a musical differences with the White Stripes and that other duo, The Black Keys, interpreted. Their debut album is in stores shortly, but Royal Blood have to undergo especially live. (GK)
St Vincent (20:15, India:
If St Vincent Annie Clark broke through with an album she made with former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne. Byrne was a partner in crime. Clark namely has a similar feeling for unusual and incorporated that into her pop songs. She uses a wide range of instruments and arrangements. Oddly in the best sense of the word. (PC)
Typhoon (19:15, Bravo)
One of the few hip hop acts this weekend plays Sunday in the early evening. Lobo Da Basi, the latest album from Typhoon threatens just such a classic to be going as Domestic Funk (1998) Extince. Stunningly in musical wealth, lyrically strong, and always accessible and compelling. (GK)
Portishead (20:40, Grolsch)
Classic Dummy by Portishead hit like a bomb, mid-nineties.’s spellbinding trip hop singer Beth Gibbons and band was massively embraced by fans of alternative pop music. A new sound, then. And it still works. It was a magical show, last year’s Best Kept Secret. The Lowlands in repetition? (JF)
Red Fang (16:30, India)
Still a sharp and current heavy strap can be discovered in the programming. Thank God. The band Red Fang from Portland, Oregon, sighing under the yoke of what subgenre in metal whatsoever, and makes fresh beech roaring rock with a lot of good song and of course fine-edged guitar riffs. The number of latest album Blood Like Cream Whales And Leeches is a meebruller size, and according to yours truly one of the best songs of last year. Go listen for yourself. Betting that the sleeve is in the air? (RvG)
20,000 Days On Earth (19:00, Echo)
A man like Nick Cave, of course, is not satisfied with a straightforward music documentary. And that’s 20,000 Days On Earth than not, the film follows Cave during his 20,000th day on earth. Just about then, it is a carefully composed semi-biography, with snatches of music, interviews and meetings with friends like Kylie Minogue. It gives a wonderful dreamy glimpse into the methods and ideas of Cave – Cave or the character that he has created for this film. (FS)
Under the Skin (23:10, Echo)
beautiful than this calm, highly idiosyncratic science fiction drama from the English Video clip advertising and filmmaker Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast), the closing night program Lowlands barely started. Loosely based on the eponymous and equally strange book by Michel Faber (born in the Netherlands, raised in Australia and currently lives in Scotland, where the film is set), Under the Skin lets see how Scarlett Johansson as alien (!) Scottish villages skimming looking for defenseless men souls. Glazer thereby effortlessly alternates between hyper-stylized seduction sequences a more observational, documentary-like movie style. Pleasantly confused the night. (BJB)
