Munich/Amsterdam. After three legendary editions in
Berlin in 2015, 2016 and 2017 as well as PureCrafted ON THE ROAD
in 2018, the PureCrafted Festival now moves from Berlin to the
gates of Amsterdam: The beautifully situated location Taets Art and
Event Park will offer the unique backdrop for the three proven
components of the festival on Saturday, 28 September: 1.)
straightforward and honest Rock Music, 2.) Motorcycle culture and 3.)
a good portion of New Heritage Lifestyle.
The evening before (Friday, 27 September), the weekend will open
with a PureCrafted club night in the centre of Amsterdam. On
Sunday, 29 September, the Taets Art Event Park will once again
be the meeting place for a relaxed breakfast together before heading
from there to the starting point of this year’s Distinguished
Gentleman’s Ride.
The confirmed bands (more names to be released soon).
If you’re not strong, you need to be fast! At least when it comes to
the English garage Punk Rock Band Bad Nerves: an
infectious mixture at 78 rpm. Equally energetic are the Belgian garage
punk “sons“ from SONS, who give their sound a fine
psychedelic and fluffy note that makes it impossible to keep still. Of
course, Indian Askin don’t need to be introduced
anymore, because this very talented Amsterdam psychedelic Nu-Punk
Quartet has been on the radio, on the concert stages and at music
festivals for three years now and is now attracting more and more
attention abroad. Just like the international band Swedish
Death Candy. Not from Sweden, but from London, where the
band members from Italy, England and South Korea have their homebase
and from where they want to conquer the world with catchy, hard and
fancy Psych-Rock.
PureCrafted: Music. Motorcycles. New Heritage.
Visitors to the PureCrafted Festival are connoisseurs who love
their freedom and individuality. Also this year, they expect the three
proven pillars Music, Motorcycles und New Heritage.
At PureCrafted, Music stands for Indie/
Alternative, Folk, Rock, Singer-Songwriters, melodic Punk Rock and
related genres. In past editions, promising up-and-coming acts as well
as internationally renowned bands such as Interpol, Refused and The
Hives have been presented.
BMW Motorrad is the initiator and title sponsor of
PureCrafted. That’s why there are of course no wishes left
unfulfilled in the area of Motorcycles. In the
so-called Wheels Area of the festival, lovers of motorcycles,
especially of extraordinary custom bikes, will get their money’s worth
and will be inspired by new – and also classic – models as well as
search for high-quality motorcycle clothing, equipment and
accessories. In addition, there will be the breathtaking Wall of Death
shows, in which the famous Ken Fox troop from England will cast their
spell over the audience.
New Heritage completes the overall package: after
all, the impressive General Store at the festival is the ideal place
for authentic fashion, favourites and handmade items. It offers
high-quality, sustainable and durable products such as leather
accessories, clothing and other must-have items from carefully
selected manufacturers and the best brands on the scene.
Of course, PureCrafted is also home to Amsterdam’s most
popular food trucks. They offer a careful selection of delicious,
traditionally prepared dishes and refined drinks, specially adapted to
the festival. Tickets for PureCrafted are available for EUR 25.00
from now on (incl. service fees) on www.pureandcrafted.com/tickets.
