Artist News Festival Line-Up Update Gigs & Festivals
Festival line-up update – 30 Jan 2013
By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 30 January 2013
Several of today’s FLUUs are Yorkshire-based, as it happens, so why not start with those.
First, alphabetically, is indie-fest Beacons, as has just named Django Django, Eats Everything, Egyptian Hip Hop, Floating Points and David Rodigan amid its very nice initial ‘phase’ of artist additions. Meanwhile, Leeds’ city-central pop/rock do Live At…well, Leeds, oozes allure via first-confirmed guest players like AlunaGeorge, Peace, King Krule, Laura Mvula… and Darwin Deez. Likewise – in terms of being in Yorkshire, that is – this year’s familial and machine-themed Deer Shed ensigns its first names; specifically Willy Mason, The Milk, solo Supergrass man Gaz Coombes… and Darwin Deez (again). The kids really love Darwin Deez.
Keeping far away from Yorkshire (and Darwin Deez) this FLUU season is Oslo’s Øya, which – according to a list of its new bookings – is to host Slayer, Azealia Banks, Disclosure and Alabama Shakes alongside Blur, Angel Haze, HAIM and co.
Also worth a mention, is that Finland’s Flow Festival, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, is offering a 10% discount of tickets to UK residents. The festival announced its first run of acts last week, including The Knife, Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, Solange, Azealia Banks and Of Monsters And Men. More ticket details available here.
