Second announcement

[SweepingTheNation]

Starting this for tomorrow. In case you missed it, Drowned In Sound now have the hall on Sunday and have today announced the Futureheads, Los Campesinos!, Frightened Rabbit and Errors.

(Does this mean there's something new in Rising on Friday?)

[eFestivals]

oooooooOOOOOO .... nice bands.

Read 'em on eFestivals at 8.30am tomorrow.

another clue "this band name is almost like a girl's name, but not quite" (they're belgian)

I just asked a Belgian friend and he's asked someone else who said it must be Isbells(if so they're very very good)

also this one

This young lady, while pretty, ain't no sissie

Could this be Feist??

[SweepingTheNation]

Or the American band-with-female-singer-of-same-name Lissy Trullie (they supported the Cribs on tour last year)

[butchwade]

If they're Belgian, Soulwax would have been nice.

Unfortunately I am at a complete loss how to get a girls' name out of that!

Excellent announcement, I think I'm going now! Futureheads and Frightened Rabbit ftw

More than suited with what's been announced last couple of days esp Liam Frost

[SweepingTheNation]

Some good stuff there. The Invisible are a really fascinating live band, not that far from TV On The Radio. The Megaphonic Thrift sound interesting (MBV/Sonic Youth say reviews) but that's a poor band name.

[Marshall]

some excellent bands amongst that lot. Not keen on Turin Brakes though and gutted it's not just Brakes. they used to be pretty big though would've thought they'd headline

[pepin]

listening now and they're ace. definitely sound like those bands

[SweepingTheNation]

If you'd read the thread about headliners, which presumably you did given it's all you've gone on about, you'd have seen this much quoted post from Rob Challice:

We have announced at least one headliner.

There will be a further list of artists announced on Wednesday. Out next headliner will be announced mid April.

Thanks

Rob Challice / Summer Sundae

im sorry but as annoucements go this has to be the most underwhelming of all.........i have been to every summer sundae but cannot justify spending £100+ on the lineup of hasbeens and never will bes that have been cobbled together so far....this used to be the best festival in the midlands....it is not even looking like the best festival in leicester.......FFS give us some headliners

[Teessider]

Happy soul eh? You know spending £100 and coming isnt compulsory don't you?

[ceph]

Just means 1 less person who's queing for the orange tree tent.

the announcement so far seems pretty special to me.

The whip

sunshine underground

los campesinos

go team

frightened rabbit

futureheads

liam frost

tuung

erland and the carnival

Mumford and sons

based on no more bands i like playing that equals £10.00 per band! Every single one of them is worth more than £10.00 to see. I'm excited about seeing what the fuss is all about with regards to The Fall. Wheres the best place to start with them?

I can understand people being underwhelmed as a lot of those are not mainstream names, or are on the verge of being mainstream. But with all due respects when has Summer Sundae ever been a festival that champions the well known drivel that V Festival and sometimes, Reading and Leeds does?

Most of the stuff so far is quality new/ relatively new music and I suggest people actually give it a listen first before dismissing it because they've not heard of it.

Big Session, Andy. Big Session. (Although how happy they'll be with a festival The Proclaimers are headlining I can't say)

[llcoolphil]

they've had a hell of a lot of albums

[llcoolphil]

And whilst Im thinking, we appearto be lacking some dancey dance so it must definitely mean that Rob will be announcing Yoda in April. Fact.
