Fall time seems like just festival after festival for Los Angeles this year. This past weekend was Sunset Junction, this coming weekend is Fuck Yeah Fest, and now in October will be the LA Weekly Detour Festival. Everything is being kept very hush-hush for the event - the only thing confirmed by the festival itself basically is that it will be on October 6th in downtown LA.
Last year's event featured performances by Beck, Queens of the Stone Age, !!!, Blonde Redhead, Of Montreal, Oh No! Oh My! and much more, and the rumors swirling around this year's lineup make it seem like it will be just as good if not better (considering that the following bands are only a sample of what will actually show up). So far we have...
Justice*
Autolux*
The Noisettes*
Turbonegro*
The Shout Out Louds*
Satellite Party*
Nico Vega*
Kinky*
Scissors for Lefty*
Bloc Party
The Aliens
The Deadly Syndrome
Pop Levi
* Confirmed
Buzz Bands is also reporting that The Mars Volta is rumored to be playing as well.
All of the ones with asterisks are absolutely confirmed and those that aren't are ones that I've heard enough about from various people that I trust are playing but technically have not been confirmed yet. Kids, this is going to be a fun one.
Justice vs. DFA 1979 vs. Shiny Toy Guns vs. Boys Noize vs. Young Love - Find A Sexy Way To D.A.N.C.E. [Luv Tek Mashup]

EDIT - Those of you reading this post from search engine hits and all that will note that this was a very early post and thus the lineup is limited. For more up to date info, go here.
