We have a very diverse set of line-up additions for the GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR curated Weekend 1, Nightmare Before Christmas festival this December. Heading up the additions is the legendary "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC, the biggest selling comedy recording artist of all time; selling more than 12 million albums, winning around 30 Gold and Platinum album awards and three Grammy Awards. This will be the first time he has ever performed in Europe, and his show will feature video screens and numerous costume changes! Here's the full list of new additions:
"WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC
NOMEANSNO
JOSEPHINE FOSTER (solo)
WHITE MAGIC
EMERALDS

I'd be interested in seeing Boban Markovic. So far it looks like it's going to be a pretty diverse line-up.
