Artist News Festival Line-Up Update Gigs & Festivals
Festival line-up update – 18 Feb 2013
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 18 February 2013
So we begin today’s FLUUs at the 20th ever T (In The Park), as Team T reveal that the festival’s Slam Tent will feature the dance-y likes of Richie Hawtin, Seth Troxler, Eats Everything, Joy Orbison and a back-to-back DJ-off by Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann. Non EDM-fans can find consolation in the fact that Mumford & Sons, Rihanna and The Killers are headlining T overall.
Oh, and what’s this? It’s only the 65daysfostatic-starring ArcTanGent, as is based in the idyllic confines of Cheddar, Somerset. Non-cheesy new additions to that festival – specifically Fuck Buttons, Future Of The Left, Bo Ningen, Gallops and Talons – make for a fine billing when considered alongside the already-named Rolo Tomassi, Johnny Foreigner, Islet and Brontide. Hurrah for that.
But what of Jake Bugg, who’s going back to his spiritual beginnings by headlining Splendour festival in Nottingham, aka the city of his (relatively recent) birth? Well, that’s about the size of it really, bar an enthusiastic speech by Bugg, who says: “It’s great to be headlining Splendour in my hometown. It’ll be my biggest crowd to date. It’s hard to believe I was playing the courtyard stage two years ago! Thanks to everyone in Nottingham for their support”.
Yes, thanks Nottingham. Thanks a bunch. And thanks, too, to this lot:
