Conciertos de Parliament 2025

Glastonbury Festival is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world and a template for all the festivals that have come after it. The difference is that Glastonbury has all the best aspects of being at a festival in one astonishing bundle.

Recording both as Parliament and Funkadelic, George Clinton revolutionized R&B during the ’70s, twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from several late ’60s acid heroes: Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Sly Stone. The Parliament/Funkadelic machine ruled black music during the ’70s, capturing over 40 R&B hit singles (including three number ones) and recording three platinum albums. Clinton and many former Parliament/Funkadelic members continued to tour and record throughout the ’80s as the P-Funk All Stars, but the decade’s disdain of everything to do with the ’70s – especially the sound of disco – resulted in critical and commercial neglect for the world’s biggest funk band, one which in part had spawned dance music. The early ’90s saw the rise of funk-inspired rap which re-established the status of Clinton & Co. as one of the most important forces in the recent history of black music. Parliament/Funkadelic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

P-funk-meester, bandleider, songwriter en producer George Clinton blijft terugkeren naar het Amsterdamse “Mothership”, ook dit jaar weer. En daar krijgt het publiek pas genoeg van als Clinton himself zegt dat het genoeg is. Tot die tijd kun je niets anders doen dan je overgeven aan de roes van zijn legendarische P-funk. George Clinton wordt gezien als uitvinder van de funk en blijft jaarlijks verrassen met nieuwe shows, nieuwe nummers en natuurlijk klassiekers als ‘Atomic Dog’.
