A little late out of the blocks on this one as BUSINESS has been getting in the way of important things like indiepop, but no matter.  The first Indietracks bands have been announced!

Who

Jeffrey Lewis and The Hidden Cameras have both been announced as headliners.

Also added to the bill are Math and Physics Club, Zipper, The Garlands, The Sweet Nothings, The Wendy Darlings, Next Time Passions and Very Truly Yours.

About half of that lot makes me very excited, and the rest I don’t really know, so the whole exercise is off to a good start from my point of view.

When

The festival takes place this year between July 29 and 31.  This is a week later than usual, so I sure hope you didn’t optimistically book a hotel last year.  I almost did this, but thankfully waited until the date came out.

Where

The Midland Railway Centre of course!  If you’re not familiar, it’s a fully working steam railway, which should have you signing up right there.  Stages include both regular outdoor and indoor stages, but also more interesting venues like the small church and actually on moving trains.

How much

Yeah, it always comes down to that, doesn’t it?

A weekend adult pass is £60, with day tickets at £32.50.  Children get in for a mere £10 for the weekend, or £6 a day.  The price includes unlimited (UNLIMITED!) steam train rides.  These prices are earlybird ones until May 6, when they will get a little more expensive.  So you should probably get one right now then.

Wait, who’s playing again?

Yeah yeah, you just want some videos, don’t you?
