Pitchfork

With one of the finest names in all of festivaldom and a wide-ranging lineup of old favorites and fresh young upstarts, the Italia Wave Love Festival has plenty going for it. That it takes place right along the water in the lovely port city of Livorno, Italy certainly doesn't hurt matters.

This year's Italia Wave Love Festival goes down July 16-19, and among the many who've responded to its call are Gnarls Barkley, the Verve, the Raveonettes, Stereo Total, the Chemical Brothers, the Ting Tings, the Whip, Chrome Hoof, and Appaloosa.
