If Rocking The Daisies is your vibe then today is the beginning of planning your ultimate weekend jol, the first batch of names released to the general public.

The biggest name on the list is that of the first international act announced, a certain Foster The People. You know, them of the ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ and ‘Houdini’ fame.

The LA indie outfit will feature alongside fellow international acts like Berlin-based techno producer Matador and the British Eats Everything.

More on the local line-up from Channel24:
