Yeah so I guess I'm with Matt on this one.

Why are Lana Del Rey and Portishead above the prodigy an QOTSA? That's a brilliant announcement

[HOHEY]

Because this place needs more threads, I just thought I'd set up one of these so we can keep track through the announcement-heavy months. When more get announced please do post them in here, particularly for the big acts at obscure Euro festies. I've tried to stick closely to relevant acts to R+L and from start of August to mid September, but I'm flexible on both those I guess. Also, don't you dare even think of quoting this post and bolding the ones you like.

There's no R+L category anymore actually now that you mention it

[dentalplan]

Because so many people were crowding around it taking pictures every day.

[mrtourette]

Very efficient in shutting down leaks when they appear.

The Prodigy are apparently playing Oxygen fest in Ireland on the 12th July according to their website listings: http://www.theprodigy.com/live_show/oxegen/

I'm pretty sure Oxygen haven't announced anything yet for 2014 though so they must have jumped the gun, may see an announcement in the next week or so from them then

Naw man he's just watching European festivals in 2014.

On a serious note, today I accidentally clicked on the "Other Dance" section of the forum and the first thread was "BANGFACE Belgium" lol.

[dentalplan]

Can't stand festivals that call themselves a 'Weekender'.

[Babyquack]

Did you mean to post that on the T board?

[dentalplan]

Oh right.
