Some of these mid-sized festivals have really upped their game this year at providing a bit of variety and difference in the line ups (to their usual offerings). If I wasn’t at the Maccabees show I’d have been all over this.  

Excellent!! Surprised at Vampire weekend, but they've got plenty of good tunes and should go down very well!

He'd be awesome... an early slot on the Pyramid perhaps?

As above, serious step up in quality headliners.  I hope they add more to the undercard (Gabrielle listed 3rd on Sunday?) but I think they have decided to go for bigger headliners and less on the undercard.     Its very guitar / indie orientated, which suits me, but I wonder how it will change the dynamic of the audience compared to previous years where pop got very decent representation high on the bill (Raye, Jess Glynn, Sugababes, Becky Hill)

Saw them at V Festival in, I think, 2007. Awful. Really dull, no engagement with the crowd and I didn't enjoy it at all. However, their early stuff remains a good listen and I have had a go at their newest album which I liked. So a second chance for KoL. Still don't think they are a "good" headliner, but there are not many of those about anymore.
