This year's festival line-up is almost complete, and today's additions, like José González and Richie Hawtin are definitely something to look forward to. A few of last year's projects will also be continued this year: the Melt! Hotel Train rides again, and the pre-party on Thursday night (14th July) is also on the agenda again. Meanwhile the Sleepless Floor is about to witness a premiere in 2011: under the banner of Groove Presents, the German electronic music magazine takes on the challange of curating the stage 24 hours nonstop. *Newly confirmed acts* Addison Groove | Azari & III (live) | Chase And Status | War Kids">Cold War Kids | Crocodiles | Dadub (live) | Duchess Says | Edit Select | Fake Blood (live) | José González | Richie Hawtin | The Hundred In The Hands | The Knocks | Jacob Korn (live) | Lucy | Miss Fitz | Gadie Mizrahi | The Moroders | Mutter | Maayan Nidam | Noah & The Whale | No Regular Play | Nôze (live) |Christopher Rau | Smallpeople aka Dionne & Julius Steinhoff | The Sound Of Arrows | These New Puritans | Albrecht Wassersleben | We Have Band | When Saints Go Machine | Patrick Wolf | *All confirmed acts so far* A.T.O.L. | Addison Groove | Âme (live) | Anstam | Apparat Band | Atari Teenage Riot | Azari & III (live) | Beady Eye | Bodi Bill | Gui Boratto | Boys Noize Bpitch @ Sleepless Floor: Ellen Allien, Kiki, Chaim, Skinnerbox | Brandt Brauer Frick | Busy P | Carte Blanche | Clock Opera | Console | Carl Craig & Radio Slave B2B | Chase And Status | War Kids">Cold War Kids | Crocodiles | Crystal Castles | Crystal Fighters | Cut Copy | DAF | Dadub (live) | Benjamin Damage & Doc Daneeka | Dananananaykroyd | Dial Records pres.

Besides his gig with Junip, the Swedish singer-songwriter is about to be the first to climb the Gemini Stage on Sunday. After Kings of Convenience’s wonderful acoustic concert in 2010, González is about to ring in the last festival day with delightful feel good atmosphere in 2011 - continuing the tradition. Patrick Wolf also found his way into this year’s line-up. In 2009, he made the clouds disappear with his extraordinary performance, and in 2011, he will make everyone jump for joy with his new album. The Californian War Kids">Cold War Kids and the British Noah & The Whale will also perform songs off their 2011 albums. We Have Band, on the other hand, keep on proving that they are true pros on stage with their debut WHB. In terms of electronic music, we have also something to offer: Richie Hawtin is now part of our line-up, joined by Status">Chase & Status and Fake Blood, who will perform live for the first time at Melt!. Also performing live: Azari & III as well as Nôze, who will arrive with his band. Addison Groove completes the Melt! Selektor Stage’s line-up. With Matt And Kim as well as The Hundred In The Hands, we welcome two duos from New York that will definitely score with their energetic live shows. These New Puritans rather dedicate themselves to experimental soundscapes. With the Danish When Saints Go Machine, we also have fantastic newcomers on board, The Sound Of Arrows present us with fairy tale synth pop, and Crocodiles conquer the stage with a rough version of Dandyism. Dirty guitar sounds are the legendary Berlin band Mutter as well as Duchess Says’ forte. *Melt! Anthem* You should also mark the 18th of April in your calendar. At noon, we will upload this year's Melt! anthem to our website (http://www.meltfestival.de/hymne (http://sut5.co.uk/clickthrough.php?iD=4&iItem;=121616&iLink;=34954674 ...
