    The line up confirmed so far:
    The War on Drugs
    Sleater Kinney
    Interpol
    Jungle
    Villagers
    Kate Tempest & Eliza Carthy
    Kate Tempest (on her own)
    Hot Chip
    The Fall
    Maximo Park
    Ibibio Sound System
    Father John Misty
    Ghostpoet
    Jon Hopkins
    Neneh Cherry
    Young Fathers
    LoneLady

    Anyone else going to try and get tickets?

    Not even if they were free. Drab dirgers the lot of them.

    I’m struggling to recognise that as a description of Ibibio Soundsystem, Hot Chip or Jungle…

    it’s pretty much the radio6 playlist?

    While I like radio6, I do wish they’d play some more popular stuff, they’re like the Indie kid you knew at uni who burnt himself on his coffee because he drank it before it was cool.

    If you want more popular stuff then head off to radio 1 or 2…

    but I do listen to, and like to discover interesting and varied bands which is what R6 is supposed to be for, no? If that’s what they’re promoting, it sort of misses the point of their remit (in my mind)

    hey ho.

    Just realised they’re still announcing them. The Charlatans and Wire are also playing.

    You’ll find One Direction, and the rest of the mono-tonal stuff that makes up the charts on Radio One.
    I’d really like to know your definition of “more popular stuff”, seeing as how concerts/tours by pretty much all of the listed artist sell out rapidly.
    There’s five on that list I wouldn’t be that interested in: Maximo Park, Interpol, Jungle, Ghostpoet and Young Fathers.
    I’d happily go and see everyone else, though.
    If it wasn’t three or four hundred miles away.

    When I read that list first I thought “Mogwai’ll be playing this”, then they weren’t, now they are. I am fortune teller.

    Also I momentarily got Neneh Cherry mixed up with Paula Abdul there

    Line up looks great – Hopkins will be superb as will Interpol – better than last year’s line up

    so they did the North last year, and the further North again this year. Can we expect them to come to Malvern next year then?

    Newcastle’s not north. Not really. And you know it Mr Stoner.

    Whilst delivering papers,I once found a pron mag in a back lane that featured Mel,or was it Kim?
    I was 14.”Respectable”.
    Best of luck with the tickets. 😀

    Holy crap don’t they GO ON ABOUT IT!! It’s worse than the adverts on commercial radio!

    I tend to listen to it on catch up. That way you can skip them – but yes, the day time shows in particular really do go nuts on the adverts.

    Come on now Dezzy Baby. If you think 6 Music is bad, you’ve clearly never listened to commercial radio recently.

    I did some work in a place that had some god awful commercial thing on all day. Within an hour I wanted to hacksaw my own ears off, and hurl them into another dimension

    Just got a car with a DAB radio, so I thought I’d give 6 another go… all I got was adverts for their festival every single time I put the radio on.

    If it was a choice between 6 and commercial, yes, I’d go with 6, but luckily I’ve got an iPod 🙂

    I obviously seem to have a unique ability to just tune out such stuff, which the Beeb has done as long as I’ve been listening to it, and just completely ignore it.
    Might be worth developing such a skill yourself, saves a lot of unnecessary angst.
    And possibly an ulcer.

    Ah but I bet they’re doing it in a grating geordie bint accent, much like they had to run all their trailers with a grating mancunipudlian bint accent last year.

    Not really. If you’d understood my previous post, you’ll have seen that I just plug my iPod in.

    Lauren Laverne.

    I imagine she might object to being called a Geordie.

    I always confuse the lead singer of the Foo Fighters with the drummer from Nirvana.
