Overhead The Albatross (ie)

Last year we made the mistake of booking the complete riot that is Overhead The Albatross for one of the opening slots and quickly realised we had to book them again and make it up to you for not given them even more time to blow you away. We’re doubling down on the fun this year and giving them the closing slot in the forest on Saturday in a truly epic closing moment of our 21st edition.

With their eclectic mix of dance-floor impact of electronic grooves, roaring guitars and electronic intermezzos, Overhead, The Albatross are hard to define and ever harder not to love. Blending pretty much style with the classic escapism of post-rock, their blend of “whatever that is” works with miraculous effectiveness. Capable of knocking you out with just a handful of tracks, the Irish quartet will once again remind us what it means to make original and authentic post-rock without coming across as pretentious or overcomplicated, but just plain simple awesomeness.
