Still relishing in the success of their 2024 Isle of Wight Festival appearance, Island punk group ‘The Pill’ have announced a concert in Norway, taking place next month. On Saturday 10th August the trio of Lily Hutchings, Lottie Massey and Rufus Reader will make their way to Oslo for a performance at Revolver, a venue in the centre of the capital city. The concert is being billed as an afterparty for one of Norway’s biggest music festivals, Øyafestivalen, which will host Pulp, The National and IDLES as headliners this year. The Pill are among 4 bands that will perform after the main festival closes its gates each night. Irish group Cardinals, American rock band Nourished By Time, and University – a 4-piece from Leigh – are all scheduled to perform on 7th-9th August respectively. Speaking about their upcoming Norway concert, The Pill says:
“Norway is definitely the furthest we have ventured as a band to sing about our silly antics. “It’s so crazy to be a part of it and we’re so excited. “On the off chance any Norwegians are reading this… see you there!”
Last month, The Pill drew fans to the River Stage at the 2024 Isle of Wight Festival when they performed a 40-minute, action-packed homecoming set, full of jokes, shout-outs and raucous ‘jank punk’ music. Later this month, The Pill will perform at Southampton’s Life in Death Festival and in October will take to the stage at Portsmouth’s Wedgewood Rooms for the 2024 edition of Night Currents Festival.
Good luck to these young people.
In my humble opinion, having heard ‘Bale of Hay’ I think Poundland Wet Leg.
I am trying to decide who is more offensive to the ears …..
