Amplifest’s final line-up is out now, so it is safe to say the experience is all shaped up: during the 19th and the 19th of October Porto's Hard Club and Mercedes will be home of more than a music festival, and experience. So, and besides concerts, there will be the of screen two movies, an exhibition by David V. D’Andrea, and talks with the confirmed artists and Roadburn’s own artistic director, Walter Hoeijmakers.
The last bands to be added to the line-up are the super-outfit, stoner and post-rock hybrid Black Bombaim + la la la ressonance, the metaphysical grinders Utopium, the bass riff oriented post-rockers Katabatic, the bolero-blues explorer Don the Tiger, the cumbia droners HHY & the Macumbas, and the artistic endeavour of L’Enfance Rouge’s François Cambuzat Putan Club. Also, during the festival there will be a surprise performance of an unannounced band (thence the "surprise" factor).
Besides the acts above mentioned, Amplifest will present the screening of the mysterious film “Black Mass Rising” and of “À l’Est de l’enfer”, a documentary on the Indonesian black metal scene, and the Amplitalks, a new feature in the festival. Everyone in Amplifest will be invited to join us in an informal talk, first with Walter Hoeijmakers, Roadburn festival's artistic director (the promoter will also spin some records as a guest DJ), and then with some of the artists in the line-up, who will talk about the “Life on the Road” and about being on tour.
