Festival Frolics: Bloc Weekend Goes Karma Crazy.

Following the previous announcement that Kieran Hebden and Richard D. James are booked into the most salubrious of Butlins chalets, dubstep pioneers Magnetic Man have been added to this year's Bloc Weekend bill as headliners alongside Aphex Twin, Warp Records empresario LFO, and Moderat. The trio comprised of Skream, Benga and Artwork have stormed 2010, winding up on as many end of year lists as Christmas lists. With sweat, smoke and strobe in the air, aerobic respiration may be all but implausible in Butlins, Minehead come March...

This year's line up now looks a little something like this:

Aphex Twin (AV Set) * Magnetic Man * LFO * Moderat * Vitalic * Visionquest feat. Seth Troxler * Four Tet * Claude VonStroke * Joy Orbison * Mala (Digital Mystikz) * Beardyman * Dopplereffekt * Black Devil Disco Club * Speedy J * Drop The Lime * Toddla T * Mary Anne Hobbs * Venetian Snares * Overkill * mulletover * King Midas Sound * L-Vis 1990 * dOP * Floating Points * Pinch * Daedelus * Shackleton * Soul Clap * Loefah * DJ Pete * Will Saul * SDC * Addison Groove * Roska * Jimmy Edgar * Al Tourette's * Alva Noto * Global Goon * Legowelt * Orgue Electronique * Mark II [Altern-8] * Subloaded * Placid * Resident Advisor * AGT Rave Cru * Gemmy * Guido * Untold * B12 * Posthuman * I Love Acid * Bodyhammer.
