Morrissey was one of the headlining acts of this year's Glastonbury and out of a sudden it seemed like the concurrency was surprise act Radiohead.
The new set features a collection of his own solohits, new solomaterial, some songs by The Smiths and a cover from Lou Reed's "Satelitte Of Love", the classic that's featured on "Transformer".
According to some British reviewers the new show by Moz was equal to Smiths-standards. As reported before, you can see Morrissey Thursday 4th August in Belgium at Lokerse Feestren.
PAKT is: Chris Ruiz and Gio van Oli, two Electro-veterans that will probably ring a bell with most people close to the scene as they used to be two third of And One.
Right on time for their debut gig at the M’Era Luna Festival in August 2011, PAKT are dishing up their first single "Freiheit", and described as an electronic anthem that unleashes an onslaught of sly grins, massive bass, friendly aggression, ironic paroles and catchy melodies on a society that is going increasingly soft in the head.
The "Freiheit"-single is topped-off with the mighty b-side smasher "Angriff."
