After Madonna, David Bowie is the latest biggest star on earth who H&M has invited for a special project. This time, it is not about fashion but about a music and culture festival.
Bowie would be the first ever programmer.
The first edition of this event named H&M High Line Festival will take place in New York City from 9 to 19 May. Not only will David Bowie be the programmer of the festival but he will also introduce through the festival his own tastes and the bands he likes. His choice proved to be as brilliant as eclectic with bands such as Arcade Fire, Air, Laurie Anderson, Deerhoof, Ken Nordine, The Polyphonic Spree, Meow Meow, The Secret Machines, Daniel Johnston, Bang one has Can All-Stars, and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. So open your eyes and ears to this special choice !
The English actor Ricky Gervais will also present his one man show. The program is not limited to these concerts, since there will also be exhibitions of photographies of Claude Cahun and Laurie McLeod, as well as a one hundred years retrospective of the Spanish cinema.
Part of the income will be given to an organization which already collaborates on a NYC project of the opening of a park in West Side.
