So, as of yesterday’s post, we know how the groups are looking. The upcoming week will see four games per day, so in a week’s time we should be starting to have a feel for how the results are starting to shape up.
As a reminder, we’re about to start the group stages, with eight groups:
- Group A, with Jean-Michel Jarre as favourite, but any of the other three could qualify
- Group B, a competitive group containing Depeche Mode, Sparks, and Kylie Minogue
- Group C, another competitive group with Erasure, Saint Etienne, and Massive Attack
- Group D, with Goldfrapp, Kraftwerk, and Hot Chip
- Group E, with Pet Shop Boys and three other strong contenders
- Group F, with Röyksopp, OMD, Air, and Enigma
- Group G, with David Bowie and The Human League
- Group H, with New Order and three other strong teams
The excitement begins (and potentially also ends) tomorrow. Stay tuned!
