Nightmare Before Christmas

Les Savy Fav, Battles, Caribou, Four Tet, Toro Y Moi, Surfer Blood, Flying Lotus, Total Control, Wild Flag, Oxes, Theo Parrish, No Age You know the score by now: a hugely influential figure from the indie underground agrees to headline and curate a weekend of bands at a windswept Butlins and this Christmas it's not only the smart and self-aware quartet LSF – their pigeonhole-defying oeuvre having variously embraced hardcore, punk-funk, emo, art-punk and math-rock – but the NY 'supergroup' Battles with their math-metal cum motorik jazz and the beguiling, psychedellic popster Caribou, who'll no-doubt be overflowing with dance-pop electronica.
