Sound Clash at Roskilde: Damon Albarn and Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats
Damon Albarn has had his fair share of drama at the Roskilde music festival in the past, with incidents like being removed from the stage and sets being cut short. This year, during Gorillaz's headlining performance, the sound from another stage, where Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats were playing, could be heard clearly. Albarn expressed his annoyance at the situation, leading to Uncle Acid's set being shut down early by the festival organizers due to sound bleeding over. This decision was explained as a result of weather and technical conditions affecting the sound performance. Despite the festival's efforts to address the issue, Uncle Acid's drummer, Jon Rice, expressed his dissatisfaction on Instagram, calling Albarn and Gorillaz "soft as baby ****." The festival made adjustments to the program to accommodate the circumstances.
