Same drama as last year but got there in the end.  Had to purchase one ticket at a time, still worked out around 15 euros cheaper per 3 day pass than last year though so no complaints! 

Yeah, never really understood it, some great tracks on it. They were deep in Grinderman mode around then though as well, so maybe that's where Warren and the boys were more focussed. 

not seen this formally announced yet but PUP are playing a small club gig in London on July 4th. tickets on sale now (around £31)

The secret act by all accounts is Skindred.

I've told it here before but happy to repeat:   I asked Nick Cave specifically about this and he said the band and in particular Warren Ellis really push back on playing anything off the album and that he thinks it's a shame as he "thinks it's a great album. And funny." but that it's unlikely to change.
