This weekend (8 & 9 April), the centre of Rotterdam will be transformed into a wonderful musical and cultural hub as the annual Motel Mozaique festival takes over the harbour city for another year. With an exciting line-up filled with variety ranging from post-punk through to hip hop, Motel Mozaique once again has a lot to offer. Below we’ve lined up our Top 10 performances which you can’t miss out on. And our reason for not missing out on them? Just read our one-liner description and listen to the one song we’ve chosen to find out why.
10 Blossoms
Blossoms are your new favourite festival headliners of the future.
9 Julio Bashmore
Need some time to get down with the groove? Then Julio Bashmore is your man.
8 Protomartyr
Gruesomely grim post-punk from the heart of industrial hub Detroit.
7 MY BABY
Shamanic rituals and non-stop funk-laden rhythms courtesy of Holland’s hottest new export.
6 Damien Jurado
If you’re in need of an anthemic sing-a-long then get yourself down to the Schouwburg on Saturday.
5 jennylee
Warpaint bassist jennylee has gone solo, with her exciting new output perfectly suited to small, intimate spaces.
4 Meatbodies
Garage rock from the heart of California which has been blessed by Ty Segall? Don’t mind if we do.
3 Vant
England’s newest rock sensation Vant are ready to destroy everything in their tracks.
2 The Go! Team
You can’t really describe Brighton’s The Go! Team. However, eclectic 1970s-tinged disco soundtrack is a pretty close call.
1 Formation
A fully fledged dance rock party.
