Does anyone know if they'll be any more announcements? There doesn't seem to be as many bands as last year.
On the other hand, who's going to see what?
I'll be watching: Wild Beasts, Tindersticks, The Breeders, Foals, Interpol etc etc. Can't wait.
And also, who will replace M.I.A?
Looks like Twilight Sad may be replacing MIA
Can't believe it's so soon!
Don't really
know much Twilight Sad, hmm may check them out.
That's really good
if Twilight Sad are replacing MIA, I think they really deserve (and could pull off) a good festival slot.
I'll
shall have to check them out live then.
they'r amazing
at Beirut when they supported most of the crowd was just stood there like they didn't know what had hit them.
*wishes he was going

*comforts scatterheart*
*appreciates wecancreate
tears nearly hit my desk
And yes
I fucking wish I was going
I'm going!
It's all about Grinderman for me. Looking forward to Elbow and Stewart Lee too.
Also, early copies of the line-up had Bill Drummond down as doing something in the literary arena, but he's disappeared off the later line-ups. Anyone know anything? I just read 45 and realised what a genius he is.
Isn't it a FABULOUS book?
I totally fell under his spell after reading that. Same with Julian Cope's biog.
Take a looky here: http://www.the17.org/opening_chapter.php
There seems
To be around 30 bands who haven't been announced yet. Very strange considering its in 2 weeks. I can't wait for this festie, it will make a nice change to Download/Reading. Am looking forward to
Julian Cope
Mars Volta
Grinderman
Breeders
Interpol
Bill Bailey
Rich Hall
Deus
Broken Records
Blondie
Guilty Pleasures DJs
S'gonna be fantastic
.
Mars Volta vs Sigur Ros
I saw Mars Volta in Manchester in March, so it might have to be Sigur Ros, maybe? Unless Cedric lures me in with his dancing o_o
I wish I had got tickets for this!
I am counting down the days
Interpol, BSP, Howling Bells, Gravenhurst, Black Kids, Franz, Fields, Mars Volta, Johnny Foreigner and Elle S'apelle for me.
Announcements?
It does seem wierd that they haven't announced all the acts yet. There's definitely quite a few to be announced for the Uncut stage, and probably a couple for the main as well. My only guess is that seeing as it sold old so early this year they haven't felt any rush to get things in place earlier...
come to see
The School, opening Huw Stephens' stage on Sunday around 2pm! http://www.myspace.com/theschoolband

Yeah the comedy line up is amazing.
If it's anything like last year you'll have to turn up about 3 hours before anything you want to see though.
Apparently the tent will be far larger this year.....
and (crucially) there will be screens outside too.
I hope this is the case.
:)
Cool, can't wait to see Wild Beasts and also erm Johnny Foreigner.
