Deaf Havana, Swim Deep, Three Trapped Tigers, The Xcerts & Almost Fifty More Names added!
We are delighted to bring you a huge chunk more of the Handmade Line-up, and there’s still even more to come.
Norfolk Alternative rockers DEAF HAVANA will be heading up our Saturday night main stage, and Birmingham Indie Pop fivesome SWIM DEEP head up Sunday nights proceedings. They join WE ARE SCIENTISTS, LONELY THE BRAVE and LOS CAMPESINOS! who had already been announced, as well as BIG DEAL, OSCAR, CLEFT, WEIRDS, JOHNNY LLOYD and THEO VERNEY on the Queens Hall stage - with more still to come.
Our final two second stage headliners have also been added in the form of THE XCERTS and THREE TRAPPED TIGERS who join PRETTY VICIOUS in Scholar.
Our third stage will be headed up by the lovely CHARLOTTE CARPENTER, CLUBS, BEANS ON TOAST and GRACE PETRIE AND THE BENEFITS CULTURE, the last of which has curated their stage from top to bottom.
But thats not all the music - see the full line-up (s0 far) below. It’s full of absolute gems.
Our first comedy act is finally out of the bag too, with the masterful ROBIN INCE joining us on Sunday.
We’re also adding a whole load of awesome curators plucked from our local music, performance and arts scene. We’re flattered to have their support and we can’t wait to see what they put together. They are TETRAD, FIND THE RIGHT WORDS, HOUSE OF VERSE, LEICESTER FRIDGE and old friends LEICESTER LO-FI.
In other news we’ll have a whole new layout and a brand new stage for the festival in 2016. We’ve learnt from your feedback last year and we’re really pushing the boundaries of what we can do within The O2 Academy and UoL Students Union… We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Weekend Tickets are now £40, which is still an absolute steal for three days of incredible music, comedy, art, film and photography.

There are no plans for day tickets at present - *if* there is still capacity left these will be released much closer to the weekend - this is partly because we’d love you to come and discover as much new music as possible over the whole weekend.
