Frankie Cosmos, Skinny Girl Diet and The Just Joans are among 19 artists and DJs added to the Indietracks festival line-up this week.
They’ll join The Wedding Present, Cate Le Bon, Martha, Joanna Gruesome, The Tuts and dozens more performers at the festival, which takes place on the weekend of 28-30 July 2017 at a picturesque 1950s steam railway in Derbyshire.
Other bands joining the bill today are: Luby Sparks (all the way from Japan), Baby Arms, Stephanie Goodman (formerly of Shrag and The Blue Minkies), The Pooches, The Understudies, Enderby’s Room, Cult Party, Crywank, Me Rex, Milk Crimes and John Doe (a collaboration between Mammoth Penguins and Sophie Barkerwood from Haiku Salut).
The following DJs have also been confirmed: Offbeat, How Does It Feel To Be Loved?, Sweet Revenge and Evripidis’ Jukebox; plus Glasgow’s Bum Notes karaoke with Ruby Waters.
Indietracks is a celebration of independent, creative and DIY pop music, with bands playing across the heritage railway site, including its main outdoor stage, in a locomotive shed, a tin tabernacle and on the steam trains themselves.
Around 50 indiepop and DIY bands from across the globe will be playing across four stages at Indietracks, and the festival will also host a range of art and craft workshops and a selection of discos after the bands finish.
This is the 11th annual Indietracks festival, which takes place at the Midland Railway in Ripley, in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside. The site houses a whole range of lovingly restored steam diesels and locomotives. Festival goers are able to have unlimited rides on the steam railway over the weekend and full access to other railway attractions and museums.
Previous headliners at Indietracks have included Teenage Fanclub, Saint Etienne, The Go! Team, Camera Obscura, Gruff Rhys, Edwyn Collins, Los Campesinos! and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.
