Although this was announced two months ago, I only learned today. And since there is no thread for it, one needed to be started.
The curator for the 10th anniversary U.K. fest, taking place December 3-5, is...
Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Don't be embarrassed, I crapped my pants as well. Best part is, they will be putting on a (very modest) tour including nine stops in the US.
But back to the fest, for there is so much more. 40 acts will be on the bill, and the ones so far have been choice picks. Just a few days ago, a new slew of additions were announced, and at the top was...
"Weird Al" Yankovic.
Damn, ruined another pair of pants? I know not everyone appreciates the man, but at least appreciate the idea that GY!BE personally chose him to be a part of the festival. This will be "Weird Al"'s first European show ever. It's just too fantastic to be true.
Anyway, the rest of the stellar lineup, thus far, goes like this:
NEUROSIS / BARDO POND / THE EX / DEERHOOF / THE DEAD C / BLACK DICE / FRANCISCO LOPEZ / TIM HECKER / MIKE WATT / SCOUT NIBLETT / WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM / MARISSA NADLER / GROWING / RANGDA / NOMEANSNO / JOSEPHINE FOSTER (SOLO) / WHITE MAGIC / EMERALDS / DANIEL HIGGS (LUNGFISH) / BOBAN I MARKO MARKOVIC ORCHESTRA
Across the pond and costing £165.00, I assume no one here will be attending, but it is a festival certainly worth discussing.
