Ferropolis, 20 April 2017
The Austrian band Bilderbuch melted Melt-hearts two years ago with their potent bling, bling and ample sexiness, and they're bound to do the same this time as well. With their latest coup "Magic Life' in the bag, a completely sold out tour and even more ecstasy guaranteed, we think it's high time for a reunion at Gremminer See. Also, it's hard to believe but the Belgian duo Soulwax will once again be celebrating a debut in Ferropolis with their long-awaited album "From Deewee', complete with a brand-new live show. We were also happy to be able to confirm HVOB just today: After multiple gigs around the world (including one on the Great Wall of China), they'll be introducing their new album "Silk' together with Mumford & Sons guitarist Winston Marshall.

Never fear, lovers of electronic beats! We've got an amazing update for you as well: Adam Beyer, the Dekmantel Soundsystem crew and Konstantin from the Giegling label complete our lineup on the Big Wheel Stage. Meanwhile, the Red Bull Music Academy is presenting the MeltSelektor Stage exclusively and for the first time. Once again lovingly, meticulously curated by Modeselektor and in cooperation with the Red Bull Music Academy, it's got a fast-growing lineup already studded with the likes of vogue-matador Zebra Katz (Live), Lorenzo Senni (Live), Peruvians Dengue Dengue Dengue, Marie Davidson (Live), Noga Erez (Live) from Tel Aviv and Bassdee.

Gremmin Beach Stage will see Michael Mayer host parts of the lineup with a solo-set followed by a stint at the turntables together with Agoria and Kölsch (DJ). Today we also confirmed Watergate residents Catz 'N Dogz for Claptone's "The Masquerade'- very good news indeed. The lakeside stage will also be played on Sunday this year, a first for the festival. And as if that weren't enough, we'll also be hearing a fat programme from the LA collective Soulection, with Joe Kay, Jarreau Vandal, Hannah Faith, Andre Power and The Whooligan hitting the redesigned stage.

Last but not least, we've got plenty of new names for the Sleepless Floor. Radio Slave, Andrea Oliva, Trikk, Dolan Bergin, Zopelar, Francois X, Red Rack'Em and others will be blurring the boundaries between day and night, rocking spots in a powerful 90-hour programme featuring more than 30 artists.

Besides Weekend-tickets, Day Tickets for Melt Festival are on sale now at 59,00 Eur via our official ticket shop. We've also got limited tickets for the Pre-Party with Fatboy Slim on 13 July, so hurry and get "em while you still can. Newcomers to the lineup include BBC Radio 1 host B.Traits, Berliner Ed Ed and Sweden's "Future Star" Jonas Rathsman.

With the last confirmations and the breakdown by day already in, the lineup for the Melt anniversary is 99% complete. But stay tuned! We'll also be announcing more in the coming weeks, including additional little specials, surprises and changes to the programme.
