Le Guess Who? confirm first bands for 2016
Dinosaur Jr and Swans are among the first bands confirmed for this year's Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht in the Netherlands.

LGW will also feature artist-curated line-ups chosen by Wilco, Savages, Julia Holter and Suuns; the line-ups for those stages will be revealed at a later date. Read the full line-up below.
