Hurra! William Onyeabor’s Atomic Bomb! is headed to one of Europe'e biggest festivals to play Roskilde Festival in Denmark!! Special guests Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Dev Hynes, Luke Jenner and Kelela - and some very special guest surprises - will be joining the great Atomic Bomb Band! of Sinkane, Money Mark and Pat Mahoney (apparently our show is “the weekend’s most anticipated booking after The Rolling Stones!). Mr. Onyeabor himself actually spent some time in the country in the early 80s, and even shot the cover for his record "Hypertension” at the famous Tivoli park in central Copenhagen. Here he is a decade later, coaching the legendary Danish football team of 1992 to the European Championship in Sweden, where they beat Germany 2-0 in a stunning final. Go Willly, go!
Just announced, “Atomic Bomb! The music of William Onyeabor” will be going to Australia in the new year to be part of the wonderful Sydney Festival, featuring Gotye, Sinkane, Money Mark, Pat Mahoney (LCD Soundsystem/Museum of Love), Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Luke Jenner (The Rapture) and the lovely Mahotella Queens from South Africa!
