LCD please be LCD

[The Martini Police]

What are LCD Soundsystem up to? Sounds like them to me.

[clasher]

Don't know exactly what they mean by dance punk, but the notable names that Wikipedia puts in that category are LCD, !!!, Bloc Party,  Bloody Beetroots, FF, The Prodigy, Pale Waves, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (among others). Just to throw a couple of names - not all of them are likely, a few already played the festival, etc...

I believe in !!!, YYY or The Rapture

Don't think YYY are danc punk at all. The Rapture aren't 'kings' of anything.

I agree that The Rapture arent kings but these comments can get hyperbolic so I think it is a fair shout

Great booking. Wasn't expecting them from the description but it makes sense now.

They headlined Bestival in 2018. Didn't go down too well if I recall correctly but great band.

It is so hard to mess up with tomorrow names... I hope something among !!!, Bloc Party, Death From Above, Franz Ferdinand, LCD, The Rapture or WhoMadeWho (it says Kings, so I guess YYY are ruled out).

LCD would sell me alone without any other request for the remaining lineup

I suppose, to appreciate them fully, you need the crowd to be fairly quiet which is a rare thing at a festival. However, they are too popular now to play anything other than main stage.

Everybody was thinking at Paak and it was Jamie Cullum. Maybe it is totally different.

Nothing special, I assume

[Yelo, the Parmiggiana]

Another band that would make me go woooo is TV on the Radio, don't know if they answer to the description (not that they were always relevant so far...)

[Dietediet]

While being the ultimate dance punk band, I just can't relate LCD Soundsystem to the "frenzied guitars" comment.

nor me. The Rapture fits the bill for me

[pryce]

Dance punk could mean different things as well, could be someone like Gogol Bordello 

[johnybegood]

Atari Teenage Riot

[diogozsz]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs announced for Shaky Knees in May.

Bloc Party fit the bill for frenzied guitars, would be well pleased with them but couldn't be seen as 'kings' considering 1/4 of them is female

[OnlyRevolutions]

We Are Scientists could be a shout
