Bit disappointed to be honest Niall but just heard on the wireless that onkly 40% of acts confimed. Hopefully the likes of MIA and Doom will be added. Get armed with the plastic tomorrow morning with all this publicity it will sell out quick, By the way im listening to the live square pusher show you linked to….fantastic, i have never got to seem them live. Are you going to Autechre next month?

Saw MIA last year and she was very average live. Mogwai would be great. I’m sure there’ll be plenty announced to keep us busy by the time it comes around. Doom would be awesome though… *crosses fingers*

Yup, hear MIA is very weak live. Strikes me that she’s not up to much with out the Diplo remixes.

It’s not bad but needs more electronic acts and a few more interesting alternative acts too – a few suggestions would be jackson and his computer band, dfa 1979, deerhoof, tapes n’ tapes
