Circa Waves, Little Comets, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly., The Orielles, Her's, She Makes War, and Eyre Llew are also among those confirmed for the weekender, which will also have "carefully curated" comedy, art, film, performance, and photography bills.
"This year’s lineup is a big step up for Handmade and an important one for us to take," says co-organiser John Helps.
