Esbjerg Fuzztival 2019: Electric Citizen Added to Lineup

So, uh, there are 150 tickets for Esbjerg Fuzztival 2019 next May in Denmark. That’s it. 150, total. I don’t have sales figures or anything like that, but I have to think they’ll be gone long before next May comes around. I’ve seen people on the social medias lauding fest — or the fuzzt, as it were — for its sense of curation in the lineup, and I have to agree. Having kept periodic tabs, I’m particularly interested in Electric Citizen being added. I know they’re doing a date in Sweden sometime in the Spring as well, and as they’re RidingEasy labelmates with BlackWater HolyLight, and as both bands have new records out, I have to wonder if they’ll be on tour together in Europe. That’d be a good show, but more to the point here, they fit well in a varied lineup for Esbjerg Fuzztival 2019 that indeed seems meticulous in its mission, importing quality acts of diverse sound while showing loyalty as well to native Danish heavy. It’s not a revolutionary approach, necessarily, bringing in good bands local and otherwise, but it works. And it’ll sell out.

Electric Citizen will return to Europe supporting their 2018 album, Helltown (review here), that found them digging into the heavy rock and regional roots alike. After its somewhat glamified predecessor, Helltown has a pointedly straightforward vibe, but as ever, the band brings a character to their work conveyed through instrumental and vocal presence. It seemed to fly under the hype radar, but they continue to make quality records and it’s good to know they’ll be back out abroad next year. One imagines tour dates are forthcoming.

From the social medias, here’s the Esbjerg Fuzztival 2019 lineup:
