Crystal Castles should be banned, not promoted on an NME tour. A guy hits keys. A girl jumps up and down and screams. Possibility of something new and interesting there, I'll admit...but no. It's just noise, and crap noise at that.

Great to see Friendly Fires included in this tour. I've seen them play live twice and they have been fantastic and inovative on both occasions.

This made my day, love Crystal Castles live. One of the best lives acts i've seen. And I must say, it's not 'crap noise'.

Great line-up! Looking forward to Team Waterpolo, saw them with Joe Lean In January and they completely blew the Jing Jang Jong off the stage. White Lies should be interesting too.
