A few weeks ago, the first lot of bands were confirmed for this year's SWN festival. That lot included some pretty great names, all in all including Spectrals, Standard Fare and Perfume Genius. Now the next set of acts have been announced and it's similarly shaping up to be another good year down in Cardiff, as ever.
Here's who will be bringing the party to Wales later in the year. Sorry for the caps. I don't have the time nor the inclination to type every last one of these bands' names out on a keyboard once more. You'll just have TO MAKE DO.

The festival runs from Thursday 21 til Saturday October 23 inclusive in various venues across the Welsh capital. Stroller wristbands are still available and give you free and priority access to shows in the 'stroller' area of the festival, this is subject to the individual capacity of each venue, mind. You can get a 3-day stroller wristband for £45, a Saturday one for £25, a Friday one for £15 and a Thursday wristband from £10. They are available now from here and here.
