According to that NME article, tickets go on sale tomorrow morning in the U.K. I don't know
if it will sell out instantly like Glasto does, but with a line-up like that it might.

manimtired - if you can make this festival happen for you, do check out the chemical brothers - especially if they play at night. their light show is mind-blowing.

i caught them this summer in NYC - amazing integration of lights, projections, lasers (no sharks), and music. the wall-o-LEDs they had backing the entire stage must have cost millions to build. it was beyong impressive, and they used it really effectively. it was one of the rare shows where i really didn't mind being at the back of the venue (mccarren pool), leaning against the sound booth. i have some pix somewhere…

t'was on the level of daft punk (tho i preferred DP, but it's a close call). walking out after the show, somebody yelled out "THAT WAS AWESOME! FUCK THE PYRAMID!!!". made a lot of folks chuckle.
