Quart of the best bands
13 June 2006
With no Glastonbury this year, Norway's Quart festival has picked a line-up which is the envy of many music festivals.
From 4 to 8 July, around 60,000 music fans will head to the town of Kristiansand for the festival, which this year features Artic Monkeys, We Are Scientists, Placebo, The Raconteurs and Pharrel.
Kanye West, Tool, Depeche Mode, Muse and Rufus Wainwright are also all heading to the southern Norwegian town to perform.
Despite the big names the Quart manages to keep a relaxed atmosphere, being held in the Odderoya Park, which even has its own lake where festival-goers often take a dip, although they should be warned that the park was once used a colony for plague victims.
As well as the music, the festival also includes theatre, art and film although music inspires most of what is on.
A clubbing zone will also be in place for those who want to dance the night away.
