By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 25 February 2014

Highlights of today’s somewhat unruly-sized FLUU are Warpaint’s DIY-confirmation for Glasto, Bestival’s Sunday night headliner, the first stage of artist additions at Benicassim, a bumper update at the USA’s super-pop-marathon Bonnaroo, and a whole lot more.
