Groove Armada, the headline act on the Saturday

JERSEY Live organisers have announced their final headline act for the September music festival.

Electronic music duo Groove Armada will perform on the main stage on the Saturday night of the two-day event. Scottish rock trio Biffy Clyro will support them on the Saturday.

The festival begins on 4 September and is held at the Royal Jersey Showground in Trinity.

Indie rock outfit The Magic Numbers complete the Sunday line-up, which is due to be headlined by The Jam frontman Paul Weller. The Magic Numbers is made up of two pairs of brothers and sisters who formed the band in 2002.

    Groove Amada. They were famous once – weren’t they?

    Biffy should be headlining.

    A band who is playing at Wembley Stadium a week after Jersey Live deserves a headlining slot.

    Biffy before Groove Armada?! I love both but I think JL have the running order badly wrong here. Will be a mass exodus from the arena after Biffy.

    Let’s face it, no one will ever agree who should headline.

    At least they’ve kicked off Tiny Tempah or whatever he’s called to the dance tent… where I’m sure he’ll go down a storm. Although it’ll annoy all the teenage girls!

    Groove Armada are incredible live and they are incredible; a great act to follow Basement Jaxx last year. I’ve seen Biffy as well, who are also good… but at the end of the day just another rock band.

    Good day for JL though, I was thinking of giving it a miss, but think I might just go buy my ticket now!

    #5,RBB, perhaps we should ask them if they could sing:

    “If you’re fond of Sandeels and Cor-bi-ère”?

    Imagine the Youtube lookups for “Groove Armada in Jersey” that would follow.

    Not forgetting

    “Quaint little villagers here and there” (Probably “villages” in the original lyrics).

    A nice juxtaposition for those millionaires, Rozel.

    Either way, another rival anthem for “Beautiful Jersey”. I will be humming the tune all summer long in anticipation of them playing it, a very catchy number.
