The lineup is as follows: Sat March 21 - Hot Buttered Rum & Everyone Orchestra, Fri Mar 27 - The Builders & Butchers, Sat Mar 28 - U.S.E., April 2 - Sebastien Grainger, Sat Apr 11 - Heartless Bastards, April 12 - The Ting Tings, April 14 - Dr. Dog & The Cave Singers, Sat Apr 18 - Vetiver, Fri May 1 - Ghost, May 28 - The Devil Makes Three.
