Festival Line-Up Update: Camden Crawl, Meltdown, Sziget and more
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 15 April 2014
Placing high amidst today’s fresh and fascinating insights into the ever-changing scenery of international festival listings are the following bits n bobs of line-up gossip:
• An influx of acts over at this year’s multi-sited Camden Crawl, aka the snappily-named #CC14, that includes Phil Hartnoll, Laurel Halo, D/R/U/G/S, PINS and Rainer.
• The news that Grandmaster Flash and Scratch Perverts will split an exclusive, one-off double bill at man-from-UNKLE James Lavelle’s edition of Meltdown festival, whilst Jeff Mills, Trentemøller, James Holden and Rosie Lowe also join the M-Down bill.
• The addition of Outkast, Manic Street Preachers, The 1975, Wild Beasts Miles Kane and Mount Kimbie to this year’s QOTSA/Calvin Harris, Prodigy and Deamau5-featuring Sziget.
So, that’s that. And this is more of the same…
