Arctic Monkeys confirmed as headliners, they will probably play the midnight shift at Marion Bay, leaving Fleet Foxes to do the Lorne slot. There are still heaps of bands to come, with only Arctic Monkeys really appealing to me at this stage, but Easy All Stars could be a bit of fun. I’ve always had the opinion Fleet Foxes best writing is done on their Twitter page and not with their guitars.

Update: Crystal Castles are added to the bill, along with Aussie favourite Josh Pyke and up-and-comers Papa vs Pretty. I hope that Crystal Castles are able to perform better than their Big Day Out set, which I can only describe as underwhelming.
