Cardiff’s Sŵn Festival have revealed the first details surrounding this year’s leg of the annual music showcase event.
The fest will return later this year, running from 17-20 October, with Deerhunter unveiled as the first headlining act.
More artists will be announced on 10 June, when wristbands are set to go on sale. But before then, they’ve given us a little taster of what calibre of bands to expect, with Bradford Cox and co scheduled to play the Friday night.
Deerhunter’s show will be included in the price of a one-day or weekend ticket, as well as being available at a standalone price of £14 here.
