# c/o pop 2012: Editor’s Choice It goes without saying that, if you're attending Cologne's **[c/o pop festival][1]{: target="_blank"}**, you're gonna be seeing our excellent [Touch Yello performance][2]{: target="_blank"} -- last tickets available [here][3]{: target="_blank"}. It's *virtually* (see what we did there?) the coolest thing to see that features Yello, unless you count an amazing dream one of our editors had last weekend....that was a *heck* of a show, at least according to him. But what else are you going to see? There's plenty of options, but we've gathered our five must-see performances for your perusal -- take a look, mark your calendars, and see you soon (we hope!) 1\. **Soap&Skin** Beautifully dark orchestral pop that's as unsettling as it is catchy. This is the kind of live show that makes your emotions surge. 2\. **Light Asylum** The NYC goth destroyas have been taking Europe by storm lately thanks to frequent tours; if you haven't seen their powerful, dancefloor-killing live show yet, then now's the time. 3\. **Dillon** There's a reason [Dillon][4]{: target="_blank"} was an EB covergirl: she's absolutely charming live. 4\. **Prinzhorn Dance School** We don't usually go in for the more 'polite' forms of post-punk, but this UK duo have won us over with their latest LP *Clay Class*. We're very much looking forward to seeing them in person! 5\. **La Femme** Surfy proto-punk done by models. Lovely to see, lovely to hear, and hey, it's summer!
