Taking place in Paris at the end of the month (31 May and 1 June), the We Love Green festival not only boasts beautiful surroundings in the Parc de Bagatelle, but an international class line-up. Organiser Luc Sarrabezolles has made up this musical guide to this year’s bill.
Lorde – Royals
“We are honoured to have Lorde play her sole, exclusive French live set at We Love Green this summer. Ever since this track was released, we’ve been hooked all winter long.”
Cat Power – Cherokee (pictured)
“From the early days of We Love Green, we dreamed of having Cat Power play our festival. Cherokee is our favourite track off her latest album Sun; a bittersweet love song that really proves her versatility as an artist.”
Foals – Inhaler
“The tense heavy guitars and deep bass lines in Inhaler transports us to the great era of rock’n’roll music in the 1970s. We cannot wait to welcome Foals at We Love Green!”
London Grammar – Wasting My Young Years
“After listening to this track in 2013, we knew we must have them play We Love Green 2014. With a haunting voice and beautiful melodies, their performance is guaranteed to leave the audience gasping for air.”
Little Dragon – Klapp Klapp
“We love this song so much that we chose it for our We Love Green 2014 video teaser. Little Dragon is an exceptional group with a unique style that is rare to find this day. Their energy leaves listeners dancing all night long.”
Sbtrkt – Hold On
“This track represents the exact reason we chose SBTRKT to play We Love Green. It proves the producer’s ability to move all over the genre map by blurring the lines between hip-hop tempo and electro beats.”
Earl Sweatshirt – Hive
“Earl Sweatshirt makes a surprise appearance at this year’s line up, as We Love Green’s sole hip-hop artist. However, his undeniable talent and uplifting spirits are guaranteed to boost the festival’s ambiance.”
Asgeir – King and Cross
“Following his intimate show at our latest garden party, we are now convinced that Asageir is the perfect addition to We Love Green. His mellow vibes align perfectly with We Love Green’s sustainable atmosphere.”
Denai Moore – Everything
“An exceptional voice with perfect rhythm- Denai Moore takes us around in her world through her music. As the new princess of soul, there was no hesitation in adding her to the bill.”
Joakim – On The Beach
“This is my favourite track by Joakim – it’s a cover of Neil Young’s On The Beach, perfectly illustrating his ability to remix tunes into a completely different final products. His music has a personable feeling, promising to offer an eclectic set at this year’s We Love Green festival.”
Riton – Lost My Mind
“This track proves Riton can really produce tunes of every style. We are proud to finally reunite the Ed Banger’s artists Riton with Pedro winter for a memorable back to back set.”
