Must be that time of the week, then. What with new additions to the Matt Groening-curated ATP being announced yesterday, and a handful of additions to the ATP vs. Pavement bill being released JUST NOW, we (read: those actually going to either or both of these festivals) are being spoiled.
Today's confirmations are a pretty wide bunch, which is what we like to see. Still needs more Hip-Hop though. Additions below:
Boris

The festival takes place at Butlins, Minehead from May 10 to May 13. Tickets are already sold out so, unless you want to engage in some kind of unofficial ticket buying, you might find it difficult to gain entrance lawfully.
