Pop Messe festival adds legends Leftfield, Warhaus, František Skála and virtual star Nivva
Brno music festival Pop Messe, the country's leading event for today's pop, electronic, rap and indie scenes, taking place from 25 to 27 July, has announced the almost final version of its biggest line-up ever. Alongside the already announced Sleaford Mods, GusGus, Kiasmos and Czech legends The Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa, this summer Brno will welcome world-famous legends of the nineties dance scene Leftfield, brooding Belgian melancholics Warhaus, Casisdead, fresh winner of the Brit Award in the Rap/Grime category, Australian dance producer Partiboi69, Canadian club provocateur Marie Davidson, leading light of today's British club scene Blawan, and Armand Hammer, the New York rap duo led by billy woods. From the Czech Republic there's Bert & Friends and František Skála a Provodovjané, among others. In total more than fifty international and Czech bands, musicians and DJs will perform. As well as growing to three full days, the festival has more new things in store: you can buy a special ÖFF MÅSSE Brnopas, which besides free Brno public transport offers discounts or free entry to the city's tourist attractions. The festival is also moving to the larger site of the Brno Velodrome and its surroundings at the BVV exhibition centre, with seven stages – not just for music – ranging from big outdoor stages to an indoor club. Besides concerts and parties, the programme now also includes an international conference and a Czech Television Kinostage.
Three-day and one-day tickets are on sale here.
