Ah good, I was starting to get worried. A few decent additions there. I'm still slightly disappointed with the overall lineup so far though - there are a few great acts, but there's a lot of fluff too.

The faint the faint the faint the faint!

Oh, I am so, so happy now.

Excellent Hercules is a must see as is Santogold. Must start saving for ticket..

I would give my right nut to go for a pint with Guy Garvey.

I think there's a decent number of bands I want to see at this stage. Wanting to see too many spoils the weekend - half the fun of EP is wandering around with a jug of cider watching people play space-jazz and set themselves on fire.
