Dozens of fresh names have joined the lineup for this year's edition of the German festival.
Forty acts have been added to the bill for this year's Melt! Festival, taking place just outside Dessau from July 17th through 19th.
The lineup additions cover rock, disco, house, techno, hip-hop and more. Naturally, a few bands and live acts feature among a strong contingent of DJs, with Hercules & Love Affair, Toro Y Moi and Mogwai locked in. Hudson Mohawke, Max Graef and Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons (who recently announced their debut album) will drop more electronic fare in their live sets. A growing cast of selectors includes Zenker Brothers, Soul Clap, Lawrence and Borrowed Identity. These names join the likes of Autechre, Sven Väth, Rødhåd and more.
As usual, a number of stages will be in action, including The Big Wheel, Sleepless Floor and Ferropolis. Read Andrew Ryce's review of last year's event for an idea of what to expect.
