More than 50 new acts have just been announced, including Beirut, Two Gallants, Eugene McGuinness, The Black Lips, Youth Movies, Cherry Ghost, Emmy The Great and Hush The Many.

Modeled on The Great Escape, the festival hopes to highlight the best breaking Welsh music, hence the inclusion of the likes of Llwybr Llaethog, Pappy, Plyci, Brigyn, Eitha Tal Ffranco and Llan Clan.
