HOLY SHIT NIGGA!!!!! GOAT LINEUP
mbv, the knife, arctic monkeys!!!! holy fuck. thank you based nialler
Was devastated The Knife weren’t part of the initial line up but still had hope since knew they were free that weekend! Delighted they’re there.
Also, isn’t that Black Uhuru song in your playlist Max Romeo’s ‘Chase the Devil’. Just being pedantic at this stage ha – cheers for the quick lineup info!
Any chance of putting this into a podcast? Damn playlist won’t work on iPhone or ipad. Have to play each song individually – a pain when you’re on the move
