Laneway 2010

Here is the first Laneway announcement (via Faster Louder). The first thing to notice is that all the rumours were sadly not true (Yo La Tengo, The Books, Neko Case, Camera Obscura) though I think many of those acts are touring anyway.

Echo & The Bunnymen
Florence & The Machine
Black Lips
The XX
Daniel Johnston *
Sarah Blasko
N.A.S.A
Eddy Current Suppression Ring
Hockey
Dappled Cities
Mumford & Sons *
The Very Best
Radioclit
Wild Beasts *
Whitley
The Middle East
Kid Sam
Dirty Three – Melbourne only

Overall not that exciting for me, though a hell of a lot better than the BDO. Unfortunately the 3D’s are only playing the NZ show, not any of the Australian shows.

(Addition – the artists marked * are not playing Adelaide according to this Mess & Noise thread. The absense of Daniel Johnston makes it even less appealing)
