Indie rockers Noisettes are confirmed to bring their explosive live show to the Main Stage on Saturday 16th July. GuilFest fans can expect to join frontwoman and bassist Shingai Shoniwa in singing 'Don't Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go)' alongside tracks from their most recent album, 'Wild Young Hearts' and perhaps a few new songs from their third album due for release this year.

Ian McCulloch's Echo and the Bunnymen will be bringing 'The Cutter', 'The Killing Moon' and 'Nothing Lasts Forever' to the Main Stage as they support Roger Daltrey on Friday night.

All the way from Tuam in County Galway come the Irish rockers renowned for their live performances - The Saw Doctors, who return to GuilFest to perform on the Main Stage on Sunday.

London Drum and Bass and Dubstep duo Nero will headline Friday night in The Kane FM presents Funky End Dance Tent.

Whilst headlining the tent on Saturday will be Pendulum (DJ set) back by popular demand following their fantastic DJ set at GuilFest back in 2009 when they stole the show so expect an incredible performance from these guys this July. Supporting them on Saturday night is dubstep act Modestep (DJ Set).
