The FREE event has announced that Sunday's New Music Stage will be curated by local rock outfit Rolo Tomassi who have always been firm supporters of the festival. Kate Hewett, Tramlines Booker said, "Rolo agreed to play the festival ages ago and we promised them that if we could expand the New Music Stage to two days, the second would be theirs. We've literally only just confirmed Sunday but Rolo have done us proud. Headlining the New Music Stage on Sunday will be Gallows, supported by Rolo, Grammatics and much more. It's been a rush, but it gives Sunday a real boost and is a crucial step in building the weekend programme."
