What lesser known bands would you like to see?

[addsend]

On smaller stages, or low down the NME/Main stage?

I'd love:

Broken Bells

Wintersleep

Girls (again)

Surfer Blood (again)

Twin Shadow

James Yuill

Johnny Flynn

Warpaint (again, maybe an NME appearance)

Villagers (again, see above)

Shotgun Crackers

The Rifles

Oh, and I know they're not "lesser known", but since I'm making a thread... Who'd like to see Animal Collective show up?

I was disappointed when Fight Like Apes pulled out last year so hopefully they'll be back. Really wanted to see Lafaro on the BBC stage but they clashed with Weezer so hopefully they'll appear on the FR line-up somewhere.

Not that I'm wanting them but Juliette Lewis was on Alan Carr's Chatty man last night, and he said something along the lines of "so Juliette when your off playing reading and leeds whats it like"

I can't remember what he actually said. So that could mean the new romantiques are playing, unless Juliette and the Licks are getting back together.

Or he was just refering to a past appearance.
