The Black Keys, Florence &M and Wilco are worth going themselves.

I only have two concerts this summer actually, Emil Jensen and Bruce Springsteen. I've never been to a festival in my whole life and don't really miss it either

I posted there but did not succeed.

Haven't listened much to either of those

I guess I should check them out on Spotify and see if it makes me want to go. 1600 SEK is a lot of money.

If they announce Noel Gallagher or someone like that that I really like, I'll book the ticket right away. Right now I'm having trouble deciding.

1600 SEK is something around 150€ isn't it? It's fairly expensive, indeed, specially given it's not a worldwide famous festival like Glastonbury or Coachella, and the line-up is good but not a killer.

For The Black Keys, give a quick listen to Lonely Boy (you'll have listened to this a good amount of times, I'm sure), Little Black Submarines (best song of last year imo), Gold On The Ceiling and Stop Stop all of them from their latest album. They're fantastic.
For Wilco, Jesus Etc, Impossible Germany, I Might and You And I are safe bets, and are constant highlights on their live shows.
And for Florence, well, they only have two albums so it's easier to choose notable songs... Dog Days Are Over, You've Got The Love, What The Water Gave Me and Drumming Song come to mind.

Looked more closely on the picture and realized that the only names I even recognized was Blur, Bon Iver, Fiest and Mazzy Star. I have no idea who the other are, I have never heard of them xD I feel really out of touch xD

It is a three day festival, and they're gonna announce more artists. So I don't think it's very expensive. It's just that there are no bands that I really like playing. Just bands I wouldn't mind seeing.

I'll listen to those songs.

At least you'll know bands like Muse, Arctic Monkeys or The Killers? If not, you're completely out of touch, yes
