Dinosaur Jr. (US)
Dinosaur Jr. is one of the most important and influential bands of the American alternative guitar and indie rock scene of the 80s and 90s with their strong combination of loud, distorted guitars and touching melodies. After the re-relaese of their first three albums in 2005, the band re-unites in the orginal Jay-Lou-Murph constellation for a set of shows. Since then, they haven’t stopped playing live and even made two new, excellent albums. Dinosaur Jr. anno 2012 sounds as loud and fresh as ever and forms a suiting act for a festival that’s even older than this dinosaur.
