HARRY, are you going with friends already? I am thinking to come over from Düsseldorf (Berlin next day is too far) and wonder if I could join someone – wouldn't go alone 
BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE are indeed not obviously MP-ish since they appear more "poppy" on records, and they may seem "weird" in the first moment with their wall of sound. But once you realize that it all works together in complex structures and pure musical understanding, you'll find a whole glittering universe of melodies. And I love they guys themselves as well – just great 
Nearly had my ticket for HALLOGALLO Cologne on the desk, but finally cannot go for family reasons
MICHAEL ROTHER live 2005 and was amazing: brilliant soundwaves at the time – you knew where "The Wheel" comes from
– plus adorable straight krautish beats (which you can also find in latest BSS
)
BATTLES are amazing, too – sad their killer-drummer left to go solo…
