Excellent choices chap! 'We Are Scientists' will be a definite highlight...its weird, they always strike me as being a band who don't know how good they are...been listening to them a lot since they were announced for Kendal and their albums are all really strong.

Shed 7 are a fantastic band live - never yet see them do a bad gig - and I've seen them a lot. My favourite song is On Standby mind you, followed by Bully Boy.

They had 2 outstanding tv moments.

Bully Boy on the Big Breakfast with added hair and Going For Gold on Top of the Pops - the best suit ever worn by anyone (Witter looked like he was about to go in the oven)

!

Warning - not for the faint hearted

I've been listening to them since they released their first album years ago and seen them 5 times since and they never get boring. Turns out they're quite the comedians too which makes for great onstage banter. Really can't wait to see if they play any new stuff

Bombskare played Wickerman just about every year I went. Real good time Ska with a full set of brass and major skanking. Also from Edinburgh so they play here a lot obviously and have a good core following.

Break out the rude boy clobber and away you go. If you are not impressed I'll buy you a pint and a pork pie hat.

    • Yesterday was was Primavera is all about and a reminder of why I come back every year. I saw 9 acts, very diverse in terms of genre and vibe, and most of them were great.  Highlights:   The Cure - have wanted to see them for years. Finally caught them and it was immaculate. Robert Smith's vocals at his age are incredible. The band sounded exactly like the albums which is impressive. 2.5 hours with basically no filler somehow.  Viagra Boys - what a front man! So much energy. Non stop moshing. Sound was great, vibe was top notch. Again 10/10 for me.  Rilo Kiley - basically what pipan said. Not a huge crowd but nice vibe, good sound. Different from the other acts I saw.   I also enjoyed the late night electronic stuff with Aurora Halal and KI/KI being fun. Caught some of Skrillex before Aurora Halal and it was cool in it's own way but not really my thing so we left.  
    • Dream Blink day    Blink - Turnstile - Neck Deep - The Story So Far 
    • The vibe for Avalanches was spectacular, but i totally understand not wanting to wait in a queue for however long it was.   I had to miss Ethel Cain to queue. Bit annoying, but I had never seen the Avalanches before (either live or DJ set) and it was every bit as joyful as I hoped.   Great little stage, either way.
    • The Smashing Pumpkins are also a shout
