The XX – Pared down electro pop, The XX are a must see for a chilled out set at Latitude, Pukkelpop and Way Out West.
Chief – Hailing from America these lovely boys will be bringing their dulcet tones to Latitude and Reading and Leeds. Get involved!
Mumford and Sons – Off the success of their album Sigh No More, Mumford and Sons will make you cry in a good way at Benicassim, Latitude and Bestival.
I Blame Coco – Sting's daughter has infiltrated our office stero with her catchy electro pop and we can't wait to see her at Reading and Leeds.
Kids In Glass Houses – After meeting KIGH's lead singer, Aled at T4 On The Beach, we're smitten with their emo pop tunes. Catch them at Reading and Leeds.
Frankie and the Heartstrings – If you're at Reading and Leeds, Latitude or Summer Sundae you have to watch this band who are taking the airwaves by storm.
