With names like Canadian post-punk heroes Ought and Japan’s jazz-influenced experimentalists Mouse On Keys on the bill, there is no doubt that 2016’s Out Of The Crowd is living up to its reputation as one of the hippest and festivals in Luxembourg. Local acts Sun Glitters (who played the festival in 2012) and Dudelange indie band Tuys are also on the bill.

Headliners Mouse On The Keys from Japan play a mix of jazz and experimental music but have a very melodic side. “They’re coming to Europe especially for the festival, so it’s kind of an exclusive without any other shows around,” explains one of the festival organisers, Nicolas Przeor. “Ought from Canada are something else. They play very intense post-punk and have such a charismatic singer, it’s just the kind of band that when you witness them live, your eyes are literally stuck to the stage.”

Przeor’s final pick are good friends Delta Sleep from the UK. “They play a complex kind of rock but it's catchy as hell--a great band to see live. They put so much heart in what they're doing!”

And it is that which makes the festival so appealing--the artists on the bill are truly representative of the personal tastes of the organisers, and music fans appreciate that passion and honesty. And with tickets for under €30 to watch 11 bands, the festival--at the Kulturfabrik, Saturday 30 April starting at 3.30 p.m.--is something of a bargain to boot.
