Melt! Festival confirmed

Melt! Festival, fresh from receiving the award for Artist's Favourite Festival at the 2011 European Festival Awards last week, is back for its 14th year in 2011. The event will take place in Ferropolis, Germany, between July 15 and 17.

Reformed Britpoppers Pulp will perform, as well as Swedish electro-pop singer Robyn. UK dance act The Streets will play live too - and it may be your final chance to catch Mike Skinner & co, as he has announced that new album Computers & Blues (reviewed in this week's issue of Hot Press) will be their last. Boys Noize, Tensnake and Cut Copy will also make appearances over the weekend.

A three day ticket (valid for Friday, Saturday and Sunday) costs €104 (plus pre-sale fee) and €5 garbage deposit.
