Hamburg is the city where the Beatles were once started out. And it comes naturally that the city’s festival Reeperbahn Festival is a power plant for young bands waiting to be discovered. One of them are Pip Blom, a young band based in Amsterdam, who have been touring with names such as Garbage or Franz Ferdinand. We sat down to talk with them at the Beatles statue - where else?
With headliners such as Charli XCX, Rosalia or Miley Cyrus, this year’s Primavera Festival proved that 50/50 lineups are possibly and that they should be the new standard in booking business. NBHAP editor Louisa attended the colourful fiesta in Barcelona, that will hopefully lead the way for more inclusive festivals.
