La Prima Estate 2024 is back, the festival in Lido di Camaiore in the historic location of Parco BussolaDomani. Having confirmed the formula of the previous edition, the festival will take place over two weekends in June, from Friday to Sunday (14-15-16 / 21-22-23) with four artists on stage each evening.
The first announcements reveal the artists who will perform during the first and last of the six scheduled evenings and denote a strong rock inclination of this first part of the billboard.
FIRST WEEKEND:
Friday 14 June | JANE’S ADDICTION – Dinosaur Jr. – Sleaford Mods + 1 tba
Saturday 15 June | to be announced
Sunday 16 June | to be announced
The first weekend will be inaugurated by JANE’S ADDICTION, a legendary alternative rock band, recognized as one of the most innovative and non-conformist of all time. Perry Farrell stands out as one of rock’s most visionary and enigmatic frontmen: his voice soars with vivacity, vulnerability and vitality. Guitar god, Dave Navarro conjures riffs that are psychedelic and epic at the same time. Stephen Perkins’ tribal rhythm remains hypnotic and transfixing. The band created a sound that the world had never heard before and thus fits into the Olympus of legends.
Before them, DINOSAUR JR. will take the stage, another American band that has made an enormous contribution to the influences of alternative rock. Mascis’s drawling voice and distinct guitar sound, harking back to the classic rock of the 1960s and 1970s and featuring extensive use of feedback and distortion, were highly influential in the alternative rock movement of the 1990s.
What Dinosaur Jr. produces is nothing other than a beautiful new version of the rock continuum: riffs, power, rhythm and desire, with an eye towards the future and its infinite variations.
In the 90s Jane’s Addiction and Dinosaur Jr. are joined by the English SLEAFORD MODS, the post-punk band that has inspired countless musicians of the genre since the second half of the Noughties and boasts a strong link with the rock of Jane’s Addiction, confirmed by the recent collaboration that saw them work side by side. The rock escalation of Friday 14 June undoubtedly makes the first evening of the festival an unmissable meeting between past and present, in a dialogue between generations that only music can give to the public.
SECOND WEEKEND:
Friday 21 June | to be announced
Saturday 22 June | to be announced
Sunday 23 June | FONTAINES DC – KASABIAN – Shame- Wu-Lu
From rock of the past to contemporary rock. The closing Sunday will feature the alternative rock of the Irish band FONTAINES DC and the pop-rock of KASABIAN, accompanied by SHAME and WU-LU.
FONTAINES DC are among the most loved bands on the contemporary alternative scene. With an irresistible mix of post-punk, alternative rock and lyrics full of intensity they are currently considered one of the best rock bands around. This is demonstrated not only by the acclaim from the press and the always sold-out shows, but also by the power of their live shows: listening to them and seeing them perform is a breath-taking experience. Co-headliners KASABIAN are an English band formed in the late 1990s who have achieved 6 number one albums in the UK and have sold over 5.5 million albums worldwide. The group have won a BRIT Award, seven NME Awards, four Q Awards and have headlined major stages around the world, including Glastonbury. The evening at La Prima Estate is completed with two other incredible bands from the contemporary rock scene: SHAME, a post-punk band that debuted in 2018 with their first album and which has already won critical acclaim with this, and WU-LU, British producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer with post-punk tones full of depth, skate-park screams and veiled hip hop at the height of the great artists of the contemporary scene.
This is the first round of announcements for La Prima Estate 2024. In the next few days the names of the remaining 4 evenings will also be revealed which will complete the program of these summer weekends at Parco BussolaDomani in Lido di Camaiore.
