November 17, 8 PM
The group "Samoe Bol’shoe Prostoe Chislo" ("Highest Prime Number") will take to the main stage with their programme "Concert with an Open Mouth". The scenography for the special programme and concert has been put together by a close friend of the group, theatre director Oleg Glushkov, who is well known to audiences for the shows he puts on both at leading Russian theatres and on stages in Europe. A collage of African rhythms, hip-hop break-beats, funk guitar, disco bass, lyrical female backing vocals and psychedelic samples. "SBPC" makes electronic music with groove and energy, combining the seemingly incompatible. Every new album sees the group change its lineup, sound and theme, with the only constants being the principles, the building-blocks that make up the songs, the concerts, and the show.
Formed in St Petersburg in 2006, and releasing their debut album a year later, "SBPC" have been among the leading lights of the Russian independent music scene (whether that be IDM, hip-hop or indie rock) ever since, garnering prestigious awards and continuing to experiment with their sound. The group has released a total of eight successful studio albums and has been the recipient of a number of prestigious music industry awards.
The "SBPC" concert will take place over an hour and a half from 8pm to 9:30pm. Tickets are priced at 700 roubles, and will be available to purchase from 9 November on the Ice Rink page of the New Holland website, or at the rink itself next to the skate-hire pavilion on 17 November. Ticket numbers are limited, and entry to the park itself and the rest of the day’s programme is free of charge. In case of bad weather, the quality of the ice cover may suffer, we apologize in advance and ask you to be careful.
