Hi All,

I am completely sure this list will change the closer we get to September 10th but I have been pretty impressed with the first batch of lineup announcements and all of my research and "listening whilst working" sessions have yielded the following top 3 tunes that may very well be festival highlights:

• The Antlers - Kettering
  
• Papercuts - Future Primitive
  
• Nurses - Caterpillar Playground

Anyone else with a provisional "top 3" at this early stage or am I the only one of that ilk?!

Not of songs, but I've been very impressed with Nurses, Black Mountain and Ladyhawk so far. Three bands on my must-try-and-see list already, that I wasn't already aware of, that is.

Guess we won't get another announcement until after SXSW now, around the end of March time. So plenty of time to get familiar with the rest that has already been signed up.

Haven't even started any research yet but these 3 leapt to mind as soon as I saw the most recent announcement.

Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell - Letters To Lenore
Dengue Fever - Tiger Phone Card
The Unthanks - Lucky Gilchrist

[eagles69]

from the bands that I had not heard of before the announcement I would say

Deer Tick - Smith Hill
Elliot Brood - Write it all down for you
Joe Pug - Hymn 101

Dengue Fever - Sni Bong
Black Mountain - Wucan
Felice Brothers - The Big Surprise

Was already a huge fan of Dengue Fever before they were announced, but the other two have been brilliant finds. I'd never previously tried the Felice Brothers due to not liking The Duke and the King, but Yonder Is The Clock is a truly great album.
