In terms of show announcements, the weeks leading up to Art Basel Miami Beach are like Crossfade's never-ending Hanukkah.

Every day, we get a new gift, as one culturally relevant musical act after another proclaims its mission to rock the Magic City, Basel-style.

Just a short time ago, Bardot forwarded us an updated version of its Art Basel lineup, a four-day festival of lights and music ranging from indie synth-pop to New York City dance rock.

Check out the complete lineup after the cut.

We already told you about the Neon Indian show back in August, a few weeks before Alan Palomo dropped his sophomore record Era Extraña. But Macy Gray's mid-week DJ set and live performance is new news to us -- not to mention Moby's "intimate session." The biggest surprise of all, though, is DFA Records' party.

Bardot's Art Basel Music Lineup

Wednesday, November 30

Macy Gray with Rich Medina and Martin Luther, plus a screening of The Art of 5 Minutes

Thursday, December 1

Neon Indian with MillionYoung and Contra

Friday, December 2

Moby with live acoustic band and art presentation as well as DJ Gigamesh

Saturday, December 3

DFA secret show with DJ sets by Juan MacLean and Nancy Whang

That's right -- DFA will celebrating 10 years of music with a secret show at Bardot on Saturday, December 3. And while we have no idea who'll be performing that night, we should point out that James Murphy, Pat Mahoney, and Nancy Whang will be in town.

LCD Soundsystem reunion? We'll say there's a 43% chance.
