Zero Point Five is one of the most played bands on Luxembourg national television and radio stations.  This high-energy act boasts an instrument repertoire including everything from banjos and mandolins to guitars and fiddles.  Their sound can be described as an explosion of musical flavors: pop, folk, Celtic and country with a Luxembourg twist; their music having been compared to Mumford and Sons and the Zac Brown band. 

Four members of Zero Point Five will be performing a 45-minute playlist of original music as well as traditional Luxembourgish songs that have been lovingly passed down through the generations.  Songs will be performed in a mix of English and Luxembourgish.

National Day, June 23^rd, provides the perfect backdrop for this virtual event. It is a Luxembourg holiday honoring the Grand Duke’s birthday, traditionally celebrated with live music, dancing, food, and fireworks at a host of festive, open-air parties throughout the country.

To help complete the ambiance of Luxembourg on National Day from your own living room, the LACS is also offering a National Day Celebration Kit for purchase on its website.  The kit includes a Luxembourg-themed t-shirt, pin, a mini flag, book, CDs, Moutarderie de Luxembourg (mustard), Deluxe steak seasoning from Kalmes Restaurant in St. Donatus, Iowa, and some Luxembourgish recipe cards.  A National Day Kid’s Mystery Box is also available for purchase.
