3-Majówka

The Cranberries with Dolores O’Riordan, Selah Sue, AYỌ, Tarja, Morcheeba, Epica and Lordi came to Wrocław for 3-Majówka. For almost 18 years, we worked on international artist booking for the festival and its associated events.

The Cranberries and 3-Majówka’s international line-up

The Cranberries played the Pergola with Dolores O’Riordan as part of the shared May celebrations of 3-Majówka and the Guitar World Record. They brought “Something Else”, an album that revisited their songs in new arrangements. Enter Shikari, Lacuna Coil and Dog Eat Dog also appeared on the bill.

Over the years, 3-Majówka brought artists from very different scenes to Wrocław. Selah Sue and AYỌ brought soul, Tarja and Epica brought symphonic metal, and Slade and Dire Straits Legacy represented different generations of British rock. Working closely with the Guitar World Record gave some artists a chance to appear in both programmes.

What we did

International booking and contracts
We handle international artist booking for 3-Majówka, from programme proposals and tour routing to fee negotiations and contracts. With the agencies, we agree the touring line-up, performance length, financial terms and payment schedule.
Festival show advancing
We collect and advance technical and hospitality riders, backline requirements and stage specifications. With the festival production team, we plan soundchecks, changeovers and performance times so that each act has the facilities it needs.
Logistics and touring team liaison
We coordinate travel arrangements, transfers, hotels and backstage requirements. We stay in contact with tour managers and the organiser throughout delivery, from preparing the show to completing the booking settlement.

Tarja, Epica and Lordi

Tarja’s voice and Epica’s expansive sound show the festival’s symphonic side. Lordi brought Finnish hard rock and theatrical costumes, while Korpiklaani and Eluveitie combined metal with folk traditions. Slade, Napalm Death and Therion also appeared on the May programme.

Morcheeba, Fun Lovin’ Criminals and Dub FX

Morcheeba brought British trip-hop to the outdoor stage. Fun Lovin’ Criminals combined rock with New York hip-hop, and Dub FX built tracks live from his voice and loops. Dog Eat Dog returned after appearing on the same bill as The Cranberries. Other guests included Steve’n’Seagulls and Electric Light Orchestra by Phil Bates & Band.
