Rocking the Former Red-Light District - Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival 2009Now in it’s fourth year, the Reeperbahn Festival is a club-festival synonymous with great bands and entertainment throughout Europe. From September 24th - 26th 2009, up to 200 new international bands, solo artists and indie stars will meet audiences in and around in Germany’s bustling music metropolis of Hamburg.The Reeperbahn. Once commonly known as the "Wicked Mile", it is now a world famous entertainment boulevard, atmospherically dense and lined with countless cutting-edge music clubs, cool cafés and boho restaurants.This years line-up highlights include the neo-post-punk quartet Editors and underground legends Dinosaur Jr, who join Germany's chart-topping techno-rap party monsters Deichkind. Currently, Britain is represented by the dark melodic tones of the Cinematics, hotly-tipped The Sea, wild rockers Lowline and the BBC's "Unsigned Band Of The Week", Bleech. Other European neighbours are also offering their best home-grown talents. E.g. Sweden offers melancholic songwriters like Björn Kleinhenz, Norway brings the female four-piece Katzenjammer who reputably sound like a 'fantastical hord of drunk farmers from the Balkans’. Canada's Ohbijou enchant with sweet acoustic pop, while Germany's own Frittenbude and Egotronic hit the dance floor with driving electro beats. American band, Slightly Stoopid, glide in on relaxed reggae grooves, enriching the extremely diverse Reeperbahn Festival line-up, which will be constantly added to throughout the summer."Similar in set-up to Texas’ annual SXSW festival, and Cannes’ Midem, Reeperbahn Festival offers both an international showcase platform for emerging bands to play to influential music industry professionals and fans alike, and also an important meeting ground for the creative industries at large, in the form of seminars and workshops, addressing key factors currently affecting their industries."This 'industry’ side of the festival will be known as 'Reeperbahn Campus’.This year, running alongside the Reeperbahn Festival, 'Reeperbahn Campus' opens it's doors to representatives of the international music, film, IT and games industries. A perfect alternative to the recently cancelled music industry trade fair Popkomm, Reeperbahn Campus offers a new communication platform to an expert audience in an attractive setting beyond conference rooms and fairground halls from September 24th - 26th. Additionally, panels and talks will focus attention on the challenges and trends resulting from the constant merging of the "Creative Industries".
