SweepingTheNation Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 If everyone else is doing one... I did a sizeable list last year, but here's some current and actually thought out suggestions: Potential headliners: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Jarvis, Doves, Maximo Park, British Sea Power, The Hold Steady (they owe SSW one), Eels, Futureheads (as a sop after all that Athena/Uni gig that was never going to happen stuff last year) High up the bil: Grizzly Bear, The Decemberists, Stereolab, Mew, Bat For Lashes, Jens Lekman, Clinic, Los Campesinos!, M Ward, Andrew Bird, Edwyn Collins Also: The Wave Pictures (originally from Wymeswold), Mumford and Sons, Slow Club, Broken Records, Grammatics, Sky Larkin, The Week That Was, Hello Saferide, The Phantom Band, Dananananaykroyd (might not seem like the average SSW band but the equally active The Mae Shi went down very well last year), Lucky Soul, Silvery, Blue Roses, Thomas Truax, Superman Revenge Squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 saw a band called Je Suis Animal last night, would be amazing at summer sundae. They're like stereolab, lush, my bloody valentine, spacemen 3 but with a lot of indie pop in there aswell. was absolutely blown away by them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoppers Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 ...and on the topic of Billy Bragg (as mentioned above) any Leicester-based fans may be interested to know he is coming to De Montfort University on Friday March 6th as part of the Cultural Exchange programme. Just thought I'd mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llcoolphil Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 If they haven't been mentioned, Id add The Streets, The Zutons and The Charlatans to the list. And i love Bon Iver's album and reckon he'd well fit the bill for SSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
