A couple of festival line-up updates have been announced.First up, the Reading and Leeds festivals. British Sea Power somehow have managed to nab themselves a spot on the Main Stage on the 23rd at Reading and the 24th at Leeds. Across all other stages, notable additions include Mystery Jets, The Music and Seasick Steve. The Dance Stage (hitting Leeds on Friday before heading to Reading on Sunday) is looking like one of the places to be. In addition to CSS headlining, Simian Mobile Disco, Chromeo and Lethal Bizzle (I'd like to find out how he passes off as a dance artist) are part of a pretty solid line-up.
Glastonbury has also finally revealed their full-line up. Obviously, because of its humongous size, I won't put the whole thing on this post (you can take a look for yourself if you so wish on The Guardian's website), but instead some of my thoughts on the line up. First off, it does seem to be incredibly diverse, as Emily Eavis pointed out. The main two Saturday night headliners prove this point - you have a choice of the mainstream hip-hop of Jay-Z or the rather brilliant and atmospheric trip-hop sounds of Massive Attack. Other hidden delights include My Morning Jacket headlining The Park on Sunday night and the John Peel Stage, which is 90% full of brilliant artists.
Out of the two, I'd still make the trip to Reading/Leeds but I'm surprised at how decent Glastonbury looks.
DIGG IT!
