Sorry for the delay!! Here comes a scoop for you.

Long time no see! This is nob for the artist info. Now, again, there are some additions to the festival line-up.

-SHERBETS-
Bengy plays two consecutive years. We will be able to hear his singing and playing the guitar at the Green Stage on Friday.

-Breakestra with DJ support from Peanut Butter Wolf-
-EGO-WRAPPIN'-
They both play at the White Stage on Frieday.

-SAIKO-POD-
For Friday at the Field of Heaven. What kind of music do they play? 'It's like trance music by AOA'(by one of the org staffs.) This year's FOH will blow your mind! Friday and Saturday will be a trance day and Sunday will be for chill-out.

-JUNO REACTOR-
Though as mentioned before, it's been confirmed that theyare playing the Green Stage on Frieday. Their trance music together with African percussions will never let you stop dancing!

-Two Lone Swordsmen-
They played the last year's Elektraglide party in Tokyo and they are coming to Japan again to play the White Stage on Sunday.

-Tegan & Sara-
The Neil Young's favorite will play the Red Marquee tent on Sunday.

-Wilko Johnson-
It's been officially confirmed that he will play the Sunday Session held during the Sunday night of the Red Marquee.

I went to speak to Hidaka Taisho to get more scoops for you.

n. 'Those acts who are officially announced today are not enough for us to make up a scoop for fujirockers....'

H. 'OK then. How about D12? They are the guys who play with Eminem. They should play somewhere on Sunday. Eminem COULD play with them.

n. 'Really? Then, Sunday will be the day for Eminem fans. Oh yeah! But how about the rumour that New Order will be joined by Billy Corgan on stage?' H. 'Nothing's confirmed.'

n. 'But it was mentioned in the N*E magazine...'

H. 'I just haven't heard of it yet.'

n. 'I see. We just have to wait then and if he is there, we would be bloody lucky! Are there any other acts soon to be confirmed?'

H. 'There could be a dance act well famous in England playing Sunday evening at the Red Marquee tent.'

n.'You cannot tell me the name, can you? It seems we won't be able to sleep for the whole weekend.'

On the official homepage, if there are no '...and more' at the bottom of the stage line-up, is this mean that those stages won't have anymore additions?'

H. 'Yeah, that's right. Also, some bands may play between the circus performances at the circus tent.'

n. 'Really? How many stages are there this year? You are doing the 'Rookie A Go Go' this year again?'

H. 'Yeah, it's like a rock bar only open at night and its capacity will be around 300'

n. 'We seriously won't have time to sleep! It´s good that there are many alternatives to choose from.'

H. 'Moreover, the Sunday Session will be the mixture of all sorts of music. Finally, there will be another band playing after the headliner of the Sunday Green Stage.'

n. 'It's like Todos Tus Muertos two years ago and Soul Flower last year, isn't it? The final question. Please give us a clue for the special guest of the FOH and the secret guest for the pre-festival party!'

H. 'No, I can´t tell you that. you just have to wait untill the weekend comes!'
