Like an actual Venn diagram, artists from different spheres (okay, the diagram has circles, but you get the point) of the experimental music world will converge on various venues in Bristol, England from May 31 to June 3 for the 2007 Venn Festival.

Among the artists performing at the festival are Faust with Nurse With Wound's Colin Potter, Sunn 0)))'s Stephen O'Malley and Peter "Pita" Rehberg as KTL, Spring Heel Jack with Mark Saunders and Spiritualized's J Spaceman (or Jason Pierce), Vladislav Delay/Luomo, Pixeltan, Ghostigital, Goldfrapp/Portishead side project Quadrode, Lawrence, Soft Circle, Yellow Swans (an acoustic set), A Hawk and a Hacksaw (with the Hun Hangár Ensemble), and Maher Shalal Hash Baz ("revolutionary and humble pop from Japan," according to a press release, and of no relation to my Irish-descended self).

Though there are still several acts yet to confrim, the rest of the Venn Festival's current lineup is below.
