Plus some other bands that seem to be on the poster but not listed on any of these dates that I'm seeing.
That's a lot to digest. Point is, there's a shit tonne of bands that I'd love to see (Franz, Mystery Jets, Cut Copy) and would be interested to see (The Ting Tings, Foals, Friendly Fires, The Virgins, CSS, She & Him) and, um. I can't go.
Luckily, les Inrocks and sponsors iDTGV will be posting videos and photos in their Festival blog over here, for those of us unable to swim across to Europe.
If you do happen to be in France, there's some ticket info over here, although a majority, if not all, of the Paris shows are currently complet. That's French for "sold out."
I mean, frankly, whose idea was this whole "Atlantic Ocean" business, anyway...?

I am also a non-fan of that whole "Atlantic Ocean" thing.
