XX, Booka Shade & Foals for Melt

Serbian fortresses, Mexican drive-ins and now huge hulking coal mining diggers towering into the sky. These international festivals sure do it better than the Brits. Yes, the latest festival to announce its summer line up is Germany's Melt Festival, promising "a true industrial rave experience" between 16th - 18th July at Ferropolis. Massive Attack, the XX and Booka Shade are amongst the first big confirmations, with Foals making up on last year's cancelled gig, Modeselektor curating the Meltselektor stage and video-icon Chris Cunningham visiting Germany for the first time.
