Jamie Lidell, Notwist, Kid606 to Play Sperm Fest

What's in a name? Not much, usually. Unless you happen to be saddled with Panic! at the Disco, AIDS Wolf, or Clap Your Hands Et Cetera Et Cetera. If that's the case, your name is gonna get talked about. Such will undoubtedly happen to the Sperm Festival (yes, the Sperm Festival!), swimming its way to Abaton in Prague on February 25.
