Check out Portishead concert movie announcement.

Attention! On the 19th of May, an episode of The Simpsons with music composed by Sigur Rós will be aired. More attractions will follow: the musicians will also be shown playing a cover of the series’ opening theme. As the press announcement says, no band has ever contributed so much to the production of the series.

This will be a new opening and an event that Poland has not yet seen. As par of the Sacrum Profanum Festival, we would like to invite you to six concerts, in which classical music will be mixed with rock, ambient, and pop, and music created by the greatest artists of our times: Frank Zappa, Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, and Aphex Twin will resound. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

On Thursday evening and night (the 18th/19th of April), Polish Radio Two will return to last year’s Sacrum Profanum Festival, where two culminating concerts recorded by the station took place at the Tinning Plant of ArcelorMittal Poland on the 15th and the 16th of September: Polish Icons and the performance of Icelandic group Sigur Rós. Jacek Hawryluk and Bartek Chaciński invite everyone to experience this night of extraordinary music.

After eight years, the Wrocław duo Skalpel returns with a new piece: If Music Was That Easy. The premiere will take place in a few days, on the 20th of April, on the If album prepared by British record label Ninja Tune, on the occasion of the Record Store Day 20! Apart from Skalpel’s piece, the two-record vinyl album will include previously unpublished works by artists such as: Bonobo, Fink, Herbie Hancock, Dobie, and The Invisible’s Dave.

The news of Emika’s new album has officially been confirmed. On her website Emika informs that her new album DVA will be released by Ninja Tune on the 10th of June and will contain 15 new songs.

After the great success of last year’s Polish Icons concert, awarded the title of Kulturalny Odlot (Cultural High) in a Gazeta Wyborcza poll, among others, the second edition of the project awaits the fans of the Sacrum Profanum festival this year. Its central figure will be Witold Lutosławski. On the stage in the Tinning Plant of ArcelorMittal Poland, artists connected with iconic record labels such as Ninja Tune and WARP: Clark, Oneohtrix Point Never, Mira Calix, and Emika will take on the master’s works. The concert begins at 6p.m. Tickets will be available for purchase starting tomorrow (Friday, the 5th of April) at 10a.m. via the www.eventim.pl portal and at three InfoKraków Tourist Information Network points: on ul. św. Jana 2, at the Wyspiański Pavilion (pl. Wszystkich Świętych 2) and at the Tourist Services Centre (ul. Powiśle 11). Until the end of May, the tickets are PLN 79, and later – PLN 99.
