I recently went to see Styx and Boston on a double bill. Despite the shocking lack of Mr. Roboto I absolutely loved Styx. Boston was good although I only recognized two songs. My reaction was like: 'Oh so that's who did Amanda and More than a Feeling.'

Anyway, I was at the Roskilde Festival this summer and so I got to see a lot of acts live, the ones I can remember were (random order):

Cat Power
Joan as Policewoman
Santogold
Choir of Young Believers
Band of Horses
MGMT

Lady Saw
Radiohead
Grinderman
Goldfrapp

Efterklang
Queen Ifrica

Robyn
Tina Dickow (Tina Dico)
..and so on.

I'd also have loved to see Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings live, but I couldn't because they played at the same time as some other acts.
