15-16/4
Ida Nielsen & The Funkbots (DK)
For six years, Ida played side by side with Prince, both in the studio and on tour, and that experience left a lasting mark on her music. Her distinctive slap technique, playful sense of rhythm and commanding stage presence have made her one of Europe’s most acclaimed funk bassists. In 2019 she was voted among the world’s ten best bass players by Music Radar, alongside names like Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten.
Since her years with Prince, Ida Nielsen has devoted herself fully to her solo career. Together with The Funkbots, she delivers a high-energy funk show packed with strong melodies, tight grooves and subtle nods to her former mentor. Her latest album More Sauce, Please! (2023) showcases her range as a musician and bandleader, blending virtuosic slap bass, rap, soul and pop into a vibrant funk universe full of humor and attitude.
