The Flaming Lips & more for Indian Summer

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Rapture, Annuals, & Optimo

By Neil Greenway | Published:


Indian Summer, which takes place at Victoria Park, Glasgow on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July has announced the first acts for this year.

Playing over the weekend are The Flaming Lips, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Rapture, Annuals, and Optimo (Espacio). Optimo will be curating their very own area this year due to overwhelming response from fans last year.

Organisers PCL are keen to let fans know why they're not revealing all at once. "The concept is for you to get to watch best-loved bands in a great, laid-back setting, and also get to sample some new, breaking music that you might not have discovered otherwise. We're releasing the line-up slowly and call it a weekender because, for us and the type of music lover this appeals to, every act is an attraction. This goes for the well loved headline acts, the breaking UK acts, the more obscure or cult artists, and to a selection of US acts we predict will be entering your conciousness pretty soon. We wanted to create something that's not simply a headliner driven festival like many others, and I think we hit the nail on the head last year; there was a fantastic atmosphere from the word go at 2pm last year. It's not some complicated grand plan though, we're driven pretty simply by daydreams of the kind of event we ourselves have always wanted to go to in Scotland."

Tickets are available now priced £65 for the weekend - click here to buy.
