Artist News Festival Line-Up Update Gigs & Festivals

Festival line-up update: iTunes Festival, Leefest, Tramlines and more

By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 20 June 2013

So, Apple’s free-to-ticket-winners iTunes Festival has emptied a set of new names into its artist bin; and they are Kings Of Leon, Sigur Rós, Paramore, Vampire Weekend, Ludovico Einaudi, Rizzle Kicks and Bahamas. All align with the likes of QOTSA, Jessie J and Justin Timberlake. So, that’s big.

Speaking of big, news next of a sizeable new carriage of first class acts added to this year’s Tramlines: Johnny Borrell & Zazou, Charlie Boyer And The Voyeurs, Dog Is Dead and 65daysofstatic, who’ll recreate their multi-speaker AV ‘event’ ‘Sleepwalk City’ – as features digital installations based on the notions of noise and collapse – especially for the festival. They all join existing Tramlines players like Lianne La Havas, Toddla T Sound, David Rodigan MBE, The Selecter, Tensnake, B Traits, Theo Parrish, New Young Pony Club and The Invisible.

And now to the remainder of today’s festival news…
