Festival Season

The festival season itself may still be months away but the period between February and April is usually pretty exciting in its own right as the line-ups for the major festivals are announced.

Today the Isle of Wight (UK) festival, Bestival, made its first announcements with the line-up to include :

– Hot Chip
– The Flaming Lips
– Gil Scott Heron
– LCD Soundsystem
– Dizzee Rascal
– Four Tet

as well as :

Chase & Status / Echo and the Bunnymen / Simian Mobile Disco / Delphic / Rolf Harris / Marc Almond / dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip / Ellie Goulding / Fat Freddy’s Drop / Flying Lotus / Kitty Daisy & Lewis / Stornoway / Tinie Tempah / Vitalic / The Cuban Brothers / Chilly Gonzales / Beardyman / Tunng / Hurts / Gaslamp Killer / The Vegetable Orchestra / Ulrich Schnauss / The Twinkle Brothers / High Llamas / The Antlers / Archie Bronson Outfit / Beth Jeans Houghton / Mixhell / Glen Matlock / Samuel and the Dragon / The Japanese Popstars / The Lost Brothers / Hear We Go Magic / Goldhawks / Countryside Alliance

The festival runs from Sept 9th until Sept 12th and is interesting for us here in Ireland as alot of the artists also tend to end up on the Electric Picnic bill.
