Melt! Festival Announces Line-up

The Melt! Festival, held in Ferropolis, Germany, has one of the more unique settings for a festival. There are no muddy fields here – think five huge coal mining diggers towering in the Ferropolis Peninsula sky, surrounded by Lake Gremmin. A festival celebrating all things techno, hip hop and guitars, this year will see Editors, Franz Ferdinand, Bjork, The Gossip, Booka Shade (left), Boys Noize, Teenagers, Gui Boratto, Sascha Funke and a host of others take to the stage. Tickets are pretty cheap (considering the talent on hand) so get onto mirkomarken.de or tixforgigs.co.uk/melt for more info. Festival info at meltfestival.de.
