# Jessie Ware, Moderat & Kate Boy announced for EB Festival Podgorica
Save the date, readers: On **September 12**, [Electronic Beats
Festival][1]{: target="_blank"} returns to [Podgorica][2]{:
target="_blank"}! After last year's blowout, we're pumped to return to
the Montenegrin capital for another night of A/V pleasure. Check out
what we have in store for you this time:
Ever since Kate Akhurst met Hampus Nordgren Hemlin, Markus Dextegen and
Oskar Sikow Engström during her travels to Sweden in 2011, the native
Australian knew there was a special synthesis in the making. Three years
later, **[Kate Boy][3]{: target="_blank"}** have been picking up plenty
of attention with their synthpoppy debut EP *Northern Lights*, and all
signs point to the Stockholm-based trio rising even further thanks to
their impressive live shows, ultra-cool, imminently catchy electronics
and much-anticipated full-length.
"[I don't really like the silences between songs... that makes me feel
really uncomfortable.][4]{: target="_blank"}" Fortunately for **Jessie
Ware**, that silence is usually filled with wild applause. After the
success of her debut LP *Devotion---*an album of luscious, futuristic
R&B and soul that Hercules & Love Affair's Andy Butler called,
"smart music from an outsider perspective" in his [EB Mag review ][5]{:
target="_blank"}last year---Ware has been excitedly prepping for her
second LP, due out later this year. If lead single "[Tough Love][6]{:
target="_blank"}" is any indication, it's going to be intense.
Headlining the night will be our old pals **[Moderat][7]{:
target="_blank"}**. Each time we've booked the Berlin-based
collaborative collective of Sebastian Szary and Gernot
Bronsert ([Modeselektor][8]{: target="_blank"}) and Sascha
Ring ([Apparat][9]{: target="_blank"}) for our events, the audience
reaction has been off the charts---and for good reason. Their [Prague
performance][10]{: target="_blank"} earlier this year tore down the
house---we can't wait to hear what they'll do this time around.
It's all going down at Stadion Malih Sportova from 7 p.m, [so RSVP
now][11]{: target="_blank"}! Sharing photos? Discussing afterparties
that you should definitely invite a dedicated EB Team to? Sort it out
online: hashtag #ElectronicBeats on Twitter and Facebook.
Update: Head over [here][12]{: target="_blank"} to read our recap of the
fun.
