"Say what you want", Texas plays Knuedler!
It's been 21 years since the very first Rock um Knuedler. Back in 1991 it was a very modest affair with 5 acts on 1 stage. This year it features 19 acts on 3 stages with Texas headlining.
(ADW) It's been 21 years since the very first Rock um Knuedler. Back in 1991 it was a very modest affair with five acts on one stage.
Fast forward to 2011 and now the line-up boasts 19 acts on three stages with Texas headlining! Quite a journey for Luxembourg City's best known free rock concert that takes place on Place Guillaume II (or Knuedler in Luxembourgish) and Place Clairefontaine this Sunday.
The festival's recipe is quite simple. The chefs, Luxembourg City Tourist Office together with the Rockhal Centre de Resources, select the finest local rock music “ingredients”, mixing differing styles to produce sounds to everyone's taste. The icing on the cake of course being a headline international act and this year Texas comes to Luxembourg.
Six years after their last album “Red Book”, Texas sets off on a greatest hits tour. The band from Scotland will once again play hits like “I don't want a lover”, “Inner smile” and "Say what you want".
The lead singer of Texas, Sharleen Spiteri, who launched a solo career, admitted, "it made me realise how great it was when all the members of Texas are in the same room". During their European tour, however, this is more likely to be the same tour bus.
Texas plays on Place Guillaume II main stage at 10:15pm. However, we should not forget the long list of local acts that precede the Scots.
