Festival line-up update – 19 Dec 2012

Detestival

So, Sidmouth’s deceptively-titled (in that it lasts eight days) Folk Week has just published an initial list of artist names, and will thus host the likes of Show Of Hands, Lau, Capercaillie and Nic Jones Trio between 2-9 Aug 2013.

Earlier in the year than that, death-blues twosome Wet Nuns have invented a new alternative to any average festival. The band’s all-new Detestival, as will overtake Sheffield’s Queens Social Club at the end of March, is set to feature such special guests as Hookworms, Bo Ningen, Wolf People and – self-evidently – Wet Nuns themselves.

Daft Punk are also rumoured to be playing next year’s Coachella, but since that isn’t a certainty yet, it won’t appear in the following official festival line-up update:

DETESTIVAL, Queens Social Club, Sheffield, 30-31 Mar 2013: Wet Nuns, Wolf People, Bo Ningen, Hookworms, KULT COUNTRY, John J Presley, Blood Sport. wetnuns.com/blog
