Festival line-up update: Iceland Airwaves, Unsound, CMJ and more

By Aly Barchi | Published on Friday 30 August 2013

Making up a large part of today’s FLUU are the massive initial artist listings (Fuck Buttons, The Dismemberment Plan, HAERTS, Glasser, Savages and Menomena amongst them) attached to NYC-based marathon showcase fest CMJ, which has barely even started to disclose its usually unquantifiable line-up.

Holding its own in the face of all that, meanwhile, is Iceland Airwaves’ final wave of additions, which names Fucked Up, Jagwar Ma, Ásgeir, Nite Jewel and MONEY as the very last acts aligning with main players Björk, Sigur Rós and Kraftwerk.

That all said and done, it’s now time to scan lists of the latest acquisitions to the above; plus Poland’s Unsound and Yorkhire folkfest Musicport:
