Last week, we introduced you to KarriereKanonen – an exciting talent-scouting initiative and career-pushing platform by Danish radio. This year again, 12 artists selected from KarriereKanonen’s pool of entered music get to play at SPOT Festival. Hereby we would like to give you a quick overview over the 12 names presented by KarriereKanonen in 2015.
The showcase concerts are on Friday and Saturday – 1. and 2. May, between 15:30 and 18:30 – on the outdoor stage Domen, just in front of Musikhuset in Aarhus. A new feature this year is the free entry to that stage – so there is basically no reason to NOT check out the program!
