If last year was anything to go by, you'd better start your music marathon training now. There's nothing better than a weekend of gigs in Brighton... but when the line-up includes more gems than your ears know what to do with, it can turn into a cross-beachside-town-sprint to catch them all.

We can't tell you who's playing where just yet... but we can tell you who's in line to grace the multitude of stages. The bouncers might not be pretty, but the line-up so far sure is. From Ping Pong playing Aussies to blood-sucking vampires - wrap your bloodshot eyes around this lot:
