XL Recordings

So do Dizzee Rascal, Dan Deacon, Mission of Burman, Go! Team, Throbbing Gristle, Devo

French folks need their festivals too, and one event satisfying that need is Villette Sonique. This year's edition of the festival will invade Paris' Parc de la Villette from June 3-8.

True to its host city's nature, Villette Sonique's 2008 lineup is an eclectic one. How eclectic? Have a look:

Mission of Burma, Clipse, Dizzee Rascal, Deerhunter, Sunset Rubdown, Shellac, Devo, the Go! Team, Throbbing Gristle, HEALTH, Sage Francis, Six Organs of Admittance, Chromatics, Melt-Banana, El Guincho, Dan Deacon, Bottomless Pit, Pilooski, Martin Rev of Suicide, Pan Sonic, Chromatics, Joakim, and Colleen, among others.

There's also a record fair, which is an excellent thing to have at a music festival, if we can say so ourselves.
