It is not hard to imagine French indie pop darlings Phoenix sitting in a room together. Ideas bubbling. Song sketches effortlessly turning into a bigger picture and the four longtime friends and (soul) brothers spending hours getting lost in the joy of playing music together. All while their music is doing the talking and a subconscious understanding kicks in. With their seventh album to date, Phoenix have returned with a refined and charming sound on "Alpha Zulu". A conversation about the value and stimulating effect of art, the privilege of recording inside a museum and the most rewarding moments of making music together after over two decades.
This year's c/o pop Festival is packed with an incredibly diverse program - be it the c/o pop festival itself, the c/o pop convention, the New Talent Day or the Super-Samstag.

NBHAP looks closer at the 2018 line-up and found five reasons to celebrate.
