So yesterday Bodytonic announced some of their line-up for Electric Picnic.

Despite my co-contributor Padraig's assertion elsewhere on this site that Bodytonic wouldn't deliver a line up with big names, they have signed a couple of acts that sound extremely attractive:

LAURENT GARNIER LIVE featuring Benjamin Ripert (keyboard) and Philippe Nadaud (sax)
TIEFSCHWARZ
COLDCUT LIVE
ANDREW WEATHERALL
METRO AREA
BODYTONIC SOUND SYSTEM
KRAFTY KUTS
RADIO SOULWAX LIVE
IAN POOLEY
BACKLASH DJ's
NATHAN FAKE LIVE
FISH GO DEEP feat Tracey Kelliher
DANCEPIG
TODD TERJE
SPLITLOOP
CHARLES WEBSTER
HYSTEREO
STEREOTONIC DJ's

In particular, live performances by Nathan Fake and Laurent Garnier jump right out. These two sets (I know we've all seen Garnier before, but live!?) would sit comfortably on any electronic music fan's wishlist. I'll also enjoy Radio Soulwax (I hope this means Soulwax will also play over the weekend), Andy Weatherall and Krafty Kuts. I'm not familiar with Tiefschwarz, Coldcut, Splitloop or Metro Area, but there seems to be a lot of buzz on the int0rweb about their announcements.

What do you guys reckon?
