Surley you must have heard of Soulfly and Max Cavera?  Amazing band.

I have been listening to Earth Crisis,  Idles and Turbowolf on Spotify this week, all good bands if you're into that sort of thing.

I really like hacktivist, they'r kind of a UK rap metal band.

Feed the Rhino are blowing me away with their new album, it's a much cleaner guitar sound that most of the bands on this lineup, I expect them to be great live.

Thanks for this. Just listened to their Stones album and these are now very high up on my must-see list :D

"Joining the Gorillaz 2018 UK exclusive headlining slot are South African trio Die Antwoord, ‘Rollin’ rap-rockers Limp Bizkit.

 

That makes it sound like those are the 3 headliners to me.

but we know that Limp-Talent-&-The-Bad-Back-Fred-To-Hide-Poor-Sales aren't on the Lion's Den, so they're not the three Lion's Den headliners.

Are we expecting a lineup today?  I thought it was supposed to be Fridays and Tuesdays but not seen anything teased today.


Edit:  They just posted on twitter that The Copper County (formerly Wild West) district line-up is landing at 5 pm today.

I'm certain The Specials were listed on the website as Town Centre last year and I can remember being pretty confused as to whether there were two main stages or not as MIA and Cypress Hill were both listed as being Lion's Den (last year was my first Boomtown). Think it's listed like that as they don't fit into the usual Trenchtown reggae/dub lineup. 

They'd surely be far too big for Town Centre, even if playing across from Gorillaz? Would be dangerously busy.
