If all those bands in the Top 20 played any festival, it’d be the best ever… apart from perhaps MGMT who are rubbish.
Anyways – more news when we get it folks!
Oh, and tickets are on sale now… try www.wegottickets.com as they don’t charge stupid amounts for booking fees.
More from Best Fit
Yeah, could live without MGMT from that list. But how glorious would a MBV / Jesus and Mary Chain / Magnetic Fields combo be?
Too good to contemplate… I think I’d explode if MBV and JAMC were on the same bill!
