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

Think that the following would go down well-

Karima Francis - will be big female singer songwriter this year

Jake Flowers - Understated folk

Dodos - Bought an album on a whim and am enjoying it

Gaslight anthem - in the absence of the Boss

...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.
