Popkomm's Blog

The best news of any good news anywhere in the world today is that Berlin’s legendary masters of indie-disco club nights, Karrera Klub, is holding a very special night with us at Popkomm this year! Can you tell we are pretty, pretty pleased about it? Details about the club and the line-up will be found here very soon. Keep you Karrera Klub eyes peeled for more info!

Popkomm is spending the weekend as a guest of the Swiss Music Export Office at the very lovely Gurten Festival in Bern/Berne. As well as seeing some great acts over the 3 days we will be there, we will also be meeting with Swiss music business friends and folk. Really looking forward to it and, remember, you can follow our adventures on twitter.

The very talented Rich Aucoin (led by Rich Aucoin) will lead the Canadian charge at Popkomm this year. Following a great performance at this year’s Great Escape festival, we are thrilled to add them to our programme for 2010 as well as include the band as one of Popkomm’s recommended artists at Berlin Festival. Result!

Norman Cooke, A.K.A. Fatboy Slim, has been added to what already seemed to be a packed line-up at Berlin Festival this year.

More Popkomm artists have also been announced for the Berlin Festival line-up. De Staat, Spleen United, Therese Aune, Cast Of Cheers and Yes Cadets are all performing there. More news about this and other artists HERE
