Blanck Mass
Why: Experience and you'll depart expressing sensations of purity, your body cleansed by expansive lucid onslaught.
When: 3.30pm, Red Bull Music Academy.
Friends
Why: I'm His Girl.
When: 1.05pm, Shacklewell Arms.
Grimes
Why: You sense that Boucher will expand the live thing sooner rather than later thus opportunities to catch her one-woman show may become fewer and further between. Also, tickets to witness the fitness required tend to be snapped up sooner than they're shoved up online thus this year it may be a case of seeing her in the great outdoors or not at all.
When: 6.15pm, Village Mentality (in association with The Quietus).
Julia Holter
Why: Her doleful, sepulchral tones and the drones of spectral piano that perfume Ekstasis with a fusty and funereal odour may be better suited to deserted catacomb or collapsing cathedral than they may to the jostle beneath canvas tarpaulin although amidst the bleeps and blurts emanating from the festival's four corners (Com Truise, Fennesz, Julio Bashmore and more beat-mongerers besides play) Julia Holter may proffer the afternoon's most affecting outpour.
When: 12.30pm, BleeD Music/LANZAROTE.
Liars
Why: It's been a long, hard wait since the release of Sisterworld and at any rate it'd be a fuck to follow – it was utterly consummate. However the penetrative Kraut-y stylings of No. 1 Against The Rush indicate the work has been completed in accordance with an uncompromising ease. It may be the WIXIW highlight both immediate and enduring although by God it'll surely resound celestially in Victoria Park surrounds come the 2nd...
When: 3.40pm, Eat Your Own Ears.
Mazzy Star
Why: Subdued sing-alongs aplenty (Fade Into You, Into Dust, etc.), theirs may prove one of the sets of the summer; let alone this brief sojourn way out east...
When: 9.50pm, Village Mentality (in association with The Quietus).
Peaking Lights
Why: The pair's son Mikko would surely be the best special guest were he to toddle on for LO HI although Indra and Aaron's dub-pop ought to shine radiately irregardless; come heck or high rainfall.
When: 2.45pm, BleeD Music/LANZAROTE.
Rocketnumbernine
Why: Thus infectious jazz propensities are to be joyously fused with the relentless throb of electronica to emit an explosive kind of aural ecstasy few others on the bill may fabricate.
When: 12.50pm, Village Mentality (in association with The Quietus).
