3:21pm Took our time getting to the festival today. I’ll be honest in saying I’m not thrilled with today’s line up. That being said we discovered Amadou and Mariam - a west African blind duo backed by a band of deep talent. If they sound like Manu Chao, for good reason,he produced [...]

In addition to the aforementioned artists and, of course, Groove Armada, this year's Lovebox will also feature sets...
