Hot Chip, Simian, Justice Go Wild in the Country

So do Underworld, Ricardo Villalobos, Soulwax Nite Versions, 2manydjs
Hot Chip, Simian, Justice Go Wild in the Country

Though its name may conjure images of some unfinished John Mellencamp/Dwight Yoakam filmic vehicle (or, um, girls in bikinis and cowboy hats), Wild in the Country is, in fact, quite a formidable dance festival, rolling into its 15th year June 30.

Hertfordshire, England's Knebworth Park will rattle at the strains of such dance luminaries as Hot Chip, Ricardo Villalobos, Simian Mobile Disco, Justice, Underworld, Soulwax Nite Versions, 2manydjs, Tiga, Erol Alkan, Tiefschwarz, and mess of others, some of whom will jostle the waking dead as the end is nigh for the festival's 6 PM-6 AM bill.

No word about on-site camping on the festival website, but one could hardly be blamed for catching 40 winks around the 5 o'clock hour, right?
