Roskilde Festival 2015 is coming closer and with it once again a week-long celebration of music, summer and life. Among the 175 confirmed acts of this year’s line-up, you can find besides all international names also a great bunch of local acts from Denmark. They will not only perform during the main festival days, but to fire up the festival in style a big part will already play the warm-up days on the Roskilde Rising and Apollo Countdown stages.
To help you put together your personal festival schedule, Good because Danish will introduce a couple Danish names in our “ID”-series for Roskilde Festival 2015 – today with the profile of Daniel Scheffmann, guitarist in Danish shoegaze-guitar pop quartet TÅRN:
| Name: | TÅRN |
| Date, Time and Stage of Roskilde show: | Sunday, 28. June – 14:00 – Rising |
| Genre: | Shogazery dream pop with a twist of acid. |
| Number of band members: | 4 – Asger, Hans Henrik, Erik, Daniel. |
| Homebase: | Copenhagen. Originally from Odense. |
| Roskilde Festival is… | a place to get fucked up and go to nice concerts. And get fucked up. Like any other danish musician, playing at Roskilde Festival is a dream coming true. |
| Favourite Roskilde Festival memory: | A couple of years ago me and Erik from TÅRN hung out the whole week. I guess we became really good friends that week. I especially remember we saw The Strokes at the Orange stage and drank a lot of that shitty wine they sell at the festival. I puked all over Erik’s face. Nice concert though. |
| Name of (imaginary) Roskilde camp: | “I-PLAYED-A-GIG-AT-THIS-FESTIVAL-FUCK-YOU!-CAMP” |
| Must-see show at Roskilde Festival 2015: | Paul McCartney and Father John Misty |
| Roskilde-virgin or Roskilde-veteran? | Veteran… although I’m not one of those weird guys fooling around in costumes. I have visited the festival 7 times. |
| Party camps or “silent and clean“ area? | I don’t really care. |
| Beer or Vodka? | Beer. Although the Danish singer Johnny Madsen once said: “Frisk luft og vodka – det er der ingen der tager skade af”. |
| Warm-up concerts or main festival days? | You have to do both. Or else you can’t experience both TÅRN and Paul McCartney. |
| Gringo Nachos or Buggi Burger? | I don’t know. I only eat tarteletter as soon as the festival area opens. |
| Shower or no shower? | No shower. It makes no sense showering at Roskilde. It’s like showering before playing a football match. |
