yeees. it's sold out the first time in its history and the location is just awesome.

[Karlos Santos]

Wow that is a good line up.
I saw Metronomy and Passion Pit last week, both were excellent.
I saw Skream last week... really really boring (i know people will disagree but...)

!!! are a must see they are awesome live. James Holden is from my neck of the woods and a bit of a legend.
MSTRKRFT and Royksopp also great live and a no-brainer.

In fact theres too much there to comment on.
Dont go see Erol Alkan hes a Borefest. hahaha seriously "Whooooooshh Boom Boom whooooshh boom boom" for 2 hours. snooze.

Looks really impressive dude. Have fun!!!

Yeah I can't wait to see Metronomy, Animal Collective, Phoenix, Moderat, Aphex Twin! and Digitalism again (one of the best live acts I've ever seen). Also very exited about Foals, love their stuff, hope they have a good live show.

[Karlos Santos]

Foals do a great show. I DJd for them about 2 years ago and they were great . They all look into each other really intensely like they are jamming on stage, loads of energy.

I missed Animal Collective at Glastonbury, gutted.
Aphex Twin will melt your brain

Digitalism are good live, i think ive seen them and played their music too often to be objective but you will love them even though they are a bit shambolic they whip the crowd up big time.

I have to say i love Phoenix . They are just so melodic but interesting with it.
I love this Alex Metric Remix.

I so wanna go to that festival..!

me 2!!!! and it´s just 20 min from my hometown...i could cry but i couln´t get some days off and it´s a damn expensive festival.

[bergen]

That's too bad earl! It's not as expensive af some festivals though *cough*Roskilde*cough*... and IMO a much better lineup. And 20,000 people sounds much better than 100,000 or something.

[dacuba]

Rock Werchter in Belgium was great too. Look for Pukkelpop.

Damn, it's like 10 min driving and I could host someone.

I went to Pukkelpop in 2006. Fucking fantastic. Daft Punk, Radiohead, Beck, Justice, Hot Chip... It was an epic lineup that year.

Sadly I'll be gone back to Iceland by the time Pukkelpop comes around this year.
