Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, CSS, and !!! will all perform at the 2007 Italia Wave Love Festival, as will the Good the Bad and the Queen, Scissor Sisters, Kaiser Chiefs, Mando Diao, Shitdisco, Joan as Police Woman, Tunng, Mika, and Bob Geldof. (They're so excited about Bob Geldof they listed him twice on their website!) The Italanglish-titled festival also includes a ton of local Italian acts.

Italia Wave will take place July 17-22 at a festival village called Sesto Fiorentino, just outside of Florence. The 250+ events associated with the festival kick off on the firstnight with a performance by Nitin Sawhney at the Piazzale Michelangelo in the heart of the city itself.
