The first line-up announcement for this year’s Sŵn Festival has been made, following previous confirmation that Deerhunter will headline the Friday leg.
Among the newly-unveiled acts are the likes of Best Fit favourites Chlöe Howl, Wolf Alice and Waxahatchee, as well as Dutch Uncles and Everything Everything, who will perform as part of standalone events that punters will need to purchase top-up tickets for.
The fest will run from 17-20 October this year around various venues in Cardiff, with tickets on sale here. The line-up so far is as below:
