The Atomic Orchestra

The Atomic Orchestra

Classic(s) but not as you know it
Origin
Afghanistan
For fans of
surprises!

If you enjoy unexpected musical collaborations and a surprising twist in the lineup, the Marquee has surely brought a smile to your face on multiple occasions. Think André Brasseur, think Jef Neve with his Marquee Overtures, think Willy Sommers along with Mauro Pawlowski & De Kempenzonen, and of course, last year's performance by Tarkastaja a.k.a. Clouseau. Their glorious set still resonates in Kiewit.

This time around, Pukkelpop presents The Atomic Orchestra; a symphonic orchestra that will perform well-known songs by various Pukkelpop artists. The special guests and playlist remain in the conductor's pocket for now, but on paper alone, The Atomic Orchestra sounds stellar. Twenty-two strings, six brass, six woodwinds, two French horns, two backing vocals, two percussionists, a harp, a guitar, a piano, a bass, a drum, a conductor, and a - for now - noble unknown. Check it out on Saturday August 17.
