Lovebox 2009

I posted this on Other Dance forum but didn't get a response, thought I'd try in here.

On the Lovebox website it says that NERD will be playing on the Saturday:

Headlining one of our most eclectic and adventurous line ups to date, Duran Duran will be playing their only UK festival gig of 2009 on the Saturday night supported by rock/rap crossover collective N.E.R.D featuring Pharrell Williams. LOVEBOX will also be showcasing the very best in new and emerging talent with the hotly tipped Florence & The Machine, joining Friendly Fires and Fat Freddys Drop also confirmed for the Saturday night bill.

Sunday night will be headlined by Lovebox founders and sure-fire party starters Groove Armada who will be premiering a brand new live show featuring material from their forthcoming album that promises to set Victoria Park alight, and will be their only 2009 festival appearance. The band will be joined by Simian Mobile Disco and further acts to be confirmed shortly.

when the news was written it didn't specify a date on the original source, now it says the dates on the Lovebox site I would say that is correct.

The line-up details are indeed on the Lovebox site, and the line-up on eFestivals has been updated to reflect this. Both Duran Duran and NERD are confirmed as playing on the Saturday.

Cheers 5co77ie. I see it's been updated now to say unknown day. Doesn't Neil trust their official site?!

[5co77ie]

It doesn't say unknown it says Saturday.

Looks like that was amended at the same time as I posted!

Bizarre that that part of the site doesn't mention Ladyhawke for Sunday, who is definitely playing.

At the top of the headliners announced article is says:

SUNDAY: GROOVE ARMADA | LADYHAWKE | SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO

then is says:

Ladyhawke is back once again, and if she needs moral support from her compatriots we're absolutely sure she will be getting a lot of love from one of New Zealand's very finest musical exports, Fat Freddys Drop who will be taking control of the Main Stage on Saturday afternoon with their dubbed up reggae, ska and fat bass funk (and their cpomplete lack of apostrophe).

Apparently Fat Freddys Drop are very good, according to my bird's mate who lives in Australia.

Sounds like my cup of tea so will check them out.

Wasn't tempted by this initially but now i've seen NERD and Duran are on the same day it looks far more appealing
