Sunday:

Megafaun - one of my favourite bands, unmissable

[Infinite Jest]

My only must-sees are Midlake and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. I'm looking forward to this fest because there's a lot of good bands, but no-one that I'm obsessed with seeing. So I'm free to go with the flow and go wherever seems interesting at the time . Whereas last year I didn't move an inch from the main stage on Sunday (which was great because I saw three of my favourite bands, but this will be great too...)

[MrSimonW]

Friday: Rue Royale, Sarabeth Tucek

Saturday: Allo Darlin or Treefight for Sunlight, Timber Timbre

Sunday: Woods,

Still not sure on Sunday, there's a lot of good bands but not so many essentials.

Very difficult job restricting this to 2 a day, especially on Fri & Sun

[GTG]

So, what are Megafaun like live, then? Been listening to them a lot today and hearing a lot of good things going on but it's a bit like listening to an unthemed compilation/sampler. Every track sounds like it's by a different band. Just wondering if there's more of a consistent 'vibe' in their live set.

[Joe_the_Great]

Fri: Best Coast, Lykke Li,

Sat: Wild Beasts, Zola Jesus

Sun: Wild Nothing, Joanna Newsom

Also must see sometime over the weekend: Cider Bus, Portaloos, varies nice food stores, maybe the circus workshop as well

[Nigey_boy]

Fri: Best Coast, The Fall

Sat: Allo Darlin', Austra

Sun: John Grant, Wild Nothing

[GeordieMartin]

Friday - Sarabeth Tucek - The Fall

Saturday - Phosphorescent - Nathaniel Rateliff

Sunday - Midlake - John Grant (Sunday is TOUGH!)
