Details of Headline Acts

World Party : In the mid-eighties, Karl Wallinger walked out of cult heroes The Waterboys and launched World Party with a surprising hit album and US hit single "Ship of Fools." World Party went on to create a string of successful albums and "Goodbye Jumbo was recognized with Q Album of the Year in 1990 as well as a Grammy nomination. World Party's latest album is DUMBING UP, released in May 2006.

Little Brother: Formed in 2001 in Durham, North Carolina, Little Brother first appeared on the hip-hop scene with their 2003 ABB Records release, THE LISTENING. The album immediately struck a chord with the rap community, garnering praise from the likes of Pete Rock and The Roots, as well as catching the ears of Jay-Z, who recruited producer 9th Wonder to craft tracks for him ('Threat') and Destiny's Child ('Girl' and 'Is She The Reason'). After swift sales and critical praise from virtually all of the mainstream media, the group inked a deal with Atlantic Records in 2004 (information from Atlantic Records site).
