Pierre's work with Phuture, messing around with a Roland TB-303 to create early acid tracks such as the seminal cut from 1987 (below), was crucial to the development of acid house, and he'll be sure to talk about his history, the 303, his 'wild pitch' sound and more during his interview onstage with DJ Mag's Carl Loben.  Keynote interviews will also be staged with Eats Everything, Martyn Ware from the Human League (interviewed by Dave Haslam from the Hacienda), Audiofly and AND.ID fro Mobilee, while Darius Syrossian, Jimpster, Skream, Dave Clarke and Paul Woolford have all recently been confirmed to DJ at the event.

• Dan Kavanaghs guide to surviving on tour
  Read more about Dan Kavanagh's guide to surviving on tour at MusicRadar.com As drummer for touraholics like Jamie Lenman and Godsized, Dan Kavanagh knows a thing or two about life on the road. Here we start a new series in which Dan tells you all you need to know about surviving on the road. So like many before you, your band is going on the road. Well done, this is a huge step to becoming a successful MUSIC an. But what will it be like and how do you prepare? Hopefully some of the things I've learned along the way might help you out, as proper planning can make your life a whole lot easier. This is a list of things I wish I could've read ten years ago. Cost You need to be ready for the price of your van, fuel, crossing charges, toll roads, merch, accommodation and food. That adds up fast. Advance the shows This is contacting each VENUE finding out who your point of contact is and getting all the details re load in, soundcheck, stage times etc. This is also your opportunity to mention any technical requirements your band may have. This is pretty standard stuff, but can build a relationship that makes the show day a lot easier. It also makes it harder for promoters to then stiff you on the rider if you have one (always specify the size of the bottle of JD!) The ride Make sure you've got what you need to be comfortable in the back of the van. A travel pillow is an absolute essential for long hauls, maybe also a blanket if it's winter and your van's drafty. I either like to sit up front so I can get a good look at the places I'm traveling through, or if I'm in the back I just like to zone out with my iPod. That's actually one of my favourite things in the world, and I save up records if there's a tour on the horizon. Get settled in, watch the world go by and get inspired by some new album on the way to a show - what could be better than that?! Have your passport on you, not in a bag in the back. Survival It can be brutal out there. A lot of people, small spaces. Make

It’s a typically unconventional entrance from a band who are doing things their way.As pop’s ever-baffling array of genres now ranges from skwee to (really) charred death, Baltimore’s Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally’s music doesn’t fit comfortably into any of them. Although their six albums have been labelled dreampop and shoegaze, neither tag quite captures their blend of the Cocteau Twins, 60s folk, the gentler side of My Bloody Valentine and the Ronettes’ wind-tunnel pop.
