The first ever European Lollapalooza event has announced its initial acts today (March 2nd), including the formation of a new supergroup between Franz Ferdinand and Sparks.
Also confirmed for the festival in Berlin, which is held on on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September at Templehof Airport, are the likes of The Libertines, Bastille, Sam Smith, Tame Impala and Chvrches.
Belle & Sebastian will be there too, promoting their 2015 album ‘Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance‘. “The beautiful ‘Cat and The Cream‘, is everything that is right with Belle & Sebastian, while the incongruous and fascinating ‘Enter Sylvia Plath‘, in its contrasts, speaks volumes,” our review reads.
“In fact it’s the very wonderful incongruity of ‘Enter Sylvia Plath’ that truly sums up what is brilliant about this album. It has the most Belle & Sebastian title on the record, but is the least Belle & Sebastian track in sound. A total misstep: part euro-trash disco, part human league pop-synth storytelling, but all with their wonderful wistful and thoughtful veneer.”
