Indietracks Music Festival 2011

Butterley Station, Butterley Hill, Ripley, Derbyshire, DE5 3QZ, England MAP
early bird £60 for the weekend

New Yorker Jeffrey Lewis, and Toronto's The Hidden Cameras are the first headline acts to be announced for this summer's Indietracks Festival.

Lewis has become one of the front-runners of the anti-folk movement, performing across the world with a diverse range of artists including Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Devendra Banhart, Thurston Moore and Beth Orton. The Hidden Cameras have released seven albums including three albums and an EP on Rough Trade, and are the brainchild of singer/songwriter/guitarist Joel Gibb. Their live performances are often elaborate, high-energy shows, featuring go-go dancers in balaclavas and choirs.

The festival has also announced seven further artists from across the globe: Math and Physics Club (US), The Wendy Darlings (France), The Sweet Nothings (UK), Next Time Passions (Greece), Very Truly Yours (US), The Garlands(Sweden) and Zipper (Spain). Further headliners and day bands will be announced shortly.

Over 40 indiepop bands will be playing at the festival across four stages: the outdoor stage; the indoor stage, the church and on the steam trains themselves. The festival will also host a range of art and craft workshops and a selection of discos after the bands finish. For the line-up details as available please click here.

The festival, now in it's fifth year, takes place from Friday 29th until Sunday 31st of July, is held in the grounds of Butterley Station, a picturesque 1950s steam railway in Derbyshire. The site houses a whole range of lovingly restored steam diesels and locomotives.
