“I am a passenger … and I ride and I ride.”

Yeah, get ready to ride with Iggy Pop later this year when the legendary US rocker comes to headline the Tinderbox festival in Odense.

The long-time, oft-shirtless rock star has been at it since the Vietnam War was raging in 1968, and over the last decades he has pumped out hit after hit – either as a solo artist or with his successful band, The Stooges.

His biggest hits include ‘The Passenger’, ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’, ‘Lust for Life’, ‘Real Wild Child (Wild One)’ and ‘Search & Destroy’, to mention but a few, while he’s also collaborated with other artists, such as Queens of the Stone Age and most recently Arctic Monkeys on his latest Grammy-nominated record ‘Post Pop Depression’.
