Norwegian punk popper Ida Maria is the perfect opener on the main stage to get everyone ready for a night of music to dance and sing to. Her insanely catchy pop hooks and star-kissing indie tunes will make you fall in love, jump around and generally feel that all is right in the world. Ida Maria hails from the most northerly part of Norway and has been described as the point at which The Strokes meet Amy WInehouse. NME hailed her as one of the traffic-stopping successes of the talent-discovering Great Escape this year and we’re thrilled she’s joining us here in the intimate atmosphere of the Sugarhill main stage. myspace.com/idamaria
