Main Stage

1 | 2 | 3 | 4

The big focus 2008's weekender was of course by on the main stage. With big name sounds from pop, dance, electronica, indie, rock and world music it’s not hard to see why. 08 saw an eclectic line-up of star performers from rock extroverts The Flaming Lips, to pop icons Goldfrapp and The Human League, to the latest indie sounds of Young Knives and Lightspeed Champion. Groove Armada will of course be wowing the Lovebox crowd with a blistering set on Saturday night. Fans of world music will be in for a treat with Manu Chao closing Saturday night, and Seun Kuti performing live on Sunday afternoon with Egypt 70 – the band who used to play behind his father, the legendary Fela Kuti. French Eurovision entry and electronic pop artist Sebastien Tellier will also on stage the same day as drum & bass innovator Roni Size and indie pop hero Jack Penate. As if that wasn’t enough, we’re always keen to champion exciting new talent at Lovebox, so we’ve also given main stage slots to two incredibly hot new bands Ladyhawke and Young Blood Brass Band.
