Hove Festival continues to take shape. Continues to look GOOD...

The line-up of Norway’s Hove Festival – one of a handful of DiS-associated events going down this summer, y’all – is taking shape very nicely.

The five-day festival, held in the beautiful surroundings of an island just outside Arendal in June, is managing to balance environmental responsibilities – see this DiScussion for further details – with a line-up to rival that of any well-established festival, in the UK and abroad.

Srsly yo, check this bill so far…

Queens Of The Stone Age
The Killers
My Chemical Romance
Slayer
Kaiser Chiefs
Arcade Fire
Amy Winehouse
The Hold Steady
Mastodon
Lamb Of God
Me First & The Gimme Gimmes
Neurosis
Chimaira

Gojira
Hatebreed
CSS
Incubus
Clipse
Interpol
TV On The Radio
Damien Rice
Tokyo Police Club
The Noisettes
Bright Eyes
The Long Blondes
The Presets

A veritable swathe of Norwegian bands are also confirmed, including 120 Days, She Said Destroy and a band called Flying Crap. Flying Crap? Brilliant!
