‘WOODSTOCK 40 YEARS!’

It's 40 years since the cornerstone event of the hippie era, of course we're talking about the Woodstock Festival here. Last year The Cosmic Carnival played the Woodstock aan de Maas festival, where the whole '69 line-up was carefully reconstructed, with The Carnival performing as Arlo Guthrie and The Grateful Dead. This year, we'll be playing at the annual Blommenkinders Festival in Roosendaal and the Gorcums Hippiefestival in Gorinchem, the latter playing as The Band. Check tour dates for more information!

‘ONDER INVLOED!’

In the summer of 2008, music journalist Matthijs van der Ven invited TCC to participate in his project ONDER INVLOED. We played a couple of songs by artists that have been of influence to our style and repertoire, while Matthijs filmed the event. The Grateful Dead's 'Ramble On Rose', The Byrds 'You Ain't Goin' Nowhere' and Bobby Dylan's 'I Shall Be Released', performed by The Carnival and now online at onderinvloed.com, plus an additional interview. Coming soon: The Cosmic Carnival live @ Onder Invloed At Home!
