Festival line-up update: Iceland Airwaves, Rewind, Parklife Weekender and more
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 30 January 2014
The Flaming Lips will head up this year’s Iceland Airwaves, which is very, very cool. As Iceland. As is the rest of the bill as it stands, in that it features East India Youth, Jaakko Eino Kalevi and groovesome twosome Jungle.
As well as that, Ellie Goulding has been given headline billing at the first event confirmed for this year’s Eden Sessions, and so will entertain the Eden biodome on 8 Jul. Yay.
But wait, I’m coming over all nostalgic. Which must mean it’s time to talk a bit about 2014’s trio of Rewind parties, which look sassily back over popstars past, and rightly so. Featuring three line-ups which vary only slightly, Rewinds North, South and Scotland (which is apparently too northerly to class as North) all have the likes of the Boomtown Rats, Rick Astley, T’Pau, The Sugar Hill Gang and Hall & Oates playing in amongst them.
Oh, and Damon Albarn is doing Rock Werchter in Belgium.
