Video: Indietracks 2009 in 7 Minutes by LastNightFromGlasgow

The Indietracks lineup seems to be pretty much complete now (though a few more bands are still to come) with Everybody Was In The French Resistance… Now and Slow Club both being added to the bill.  Perhaps more excitingly though, the day by day breakdowns have now been announced, giving us a festival that looks something like this:

Friday

Everybody Was In The French Resistance…Now, Allo Darlin’, Veronica Falls

Saturday

The Primitives, Love is All, David Tattersall, Ballboy, Stars in Coma, White Town, The Orchids, Boy Genius, Cineplexx, The Smittens, The Just Joans, Burning Hearts, La La Love You, The Callas, Betty and the Werewolves, This Many Boyfriends, Linda Guilala, The Give It Ups, The Felt Tips, Foxes!, The Hillfields, Urbantramper, Paisley and Charlie, Micktravis, Jam On Bread, Lime Chalks

Sunday

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, The Pooh Sticks, Pale Sunday, Slow Club, Springfactory, Stars of Aviation, Shrag, Secret Shine, Sarandon, The Cannanes, Internet Forever, The Sunny Street, Printed Circuit, The Blanche Hudson Weekend, The Millipedes, The Loves, Onward Chariots, Winston Echo, Standard Fare, MJ Hibbett and the Validators, Be Like Pablo, The Specific Heats, Mexican Kids at Home, The Middle Ones, Yokoko, Clint Play People

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.  On a personal level, the lineup is quite nice for me with a decent split across the days of the bands that I like, though it looks like Sunday has the possibility of being clash central.  Not that it matters too much at Indietracks though.  I had great fun last year watching bands I hadn’t even heard of even if I didn’t get to see all of the ones I would have liked to.

Indietracks takes place between 23-25 July at the Midland Railway Centre in Swanwick, located a little way off of the M1 north of Nottingham.  Bands play across four stages, one of which is located in a moving steam train.  Various workshops and discos happen around the site, and it’s quite simply the nicest place you’ll ever go.  Tickets cost £60 for all three days or £32.50 per day, and can be purchased here.
