The countdown has begun to Le Guess Who 2019 and\u00a0Shindig!<\/em> will be there for the second time in a row, keeping last year\u2019s promise. \u2018Cause that\u2019s what happens: other festivals tend to leave you dazed, while Le Guess Who leaves you wanting more. It\u2019s not that there isn\u2019t enough: on the contrary, making your choices each day, going to one show while four or more others are happening, can be impossibly hard. But Le Guess Who was born with the intention of dismantling boundaries (regarding what a music festival can culturally represent in the present day, or what kind of acts can follow one another on the same stage, or what level of curiosity modern-day festival goers are capable of). And so you go for some beloved names and stay for the unexpected. Looking at the poster, you\u2019re likely to bump into plenty of unfamiliar artists: for once, instead of making you feel slightly uncomfortable – there\u2019s no permanent satisfaction to musical devouring, huh? Been there\u2026, all the unknown names create one more level of excitement.
\nThis year\u2019s curators are Moon Duo, Fatoumata Diawara, Jenny Hval, Patrick Higgins, The Bug and Iris Van Herpen with Salvador Breed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s naturally up to Moon Duo to cook up the most Shindig!<\/em>-friendly of the curated line-ups, including Tr\u00e4d, Gr\u00e4s och Stenar, Sonic Boom celebrating 30 years of Spectrum, Prana Crafter, Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids and Tengger. The 2019 edition of Le Guess Who will also be a great opportunity to see what some of the most interesting albums of the year sound like in a live setting: Aldous Harding, Cate Le Bon, Gruff Rhys, Mega Bog, Angel Bat Dawid and Deerhunter are all enticing attractions. But the secret weapon and very strength of this festival, compared to more well-known others, is the element of surprise: enter the TivoliVredenburg, LGW\u2019s mothership, follow the directions to one of the halls and prepare for fortuitous revelations. You might end up savouring rock\u2019s raw edges with Tropical Fuck Storm, The Raincoats or Surfbort, tuning in and dropping out with the likes of Acid Mothers Temple and Mythic Sunship, or seeking visions in the instrumental textures of DJINN, Sarah Louise and a special collaboration between William Tyler and Mary Lattimore. It\u2019s not every day you get to meet the world walking the short distance of Utrecht\u2019s canals, and this year\u2019s global tour will move from Sweden (with Efterklang) to Rajasthan (with Lakha Khan), passing through Dur-Dur Band\u2019s Somalia and Gyedu-Blay Ambolley\u2019s Ghana. The new Hidden Musics program will provide more sonic travels through Greece, Pakistan and Mexico. It\u2019s going to\u00a0 be a formidable, fun and inspiring ride again, whether you\u2019ll be seeing veteran Asha Puthli or newcomers Acid Rooster for the first time, or dancing to Khana Bierbood\u2019s surf rock made in Thailand.<\/p>\n

While arriving too prepared doesn\u2019t really honour the spirit of Le Guess Who, there\u2019s
\nsomething cool you can do before November comes: make it a daily or weekly habit to visit
\nthe line-up section of leguesswho.nl<\/a> or check out the festival\u2019s New Music Discovery
\nplaylist on Spotify. New sounds await all of us. See you in Utrecht.<\/p>\n
