From Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 October, Cardiff city centre will play host to four days of Swn (or sound, if you don't speak Welsh). Those attending can expect only the best in new and emerging acts, as well as well established headliners.

Other bands that make up the strong lineup so far include Manchester's NO CEREMONY///, PINS, Errors and This Many Boyfriends.

Swn Festival is financially supported by a government initiative, the Welsh Government's Major Events Unit, but is also funded in part by the PRS for Music Foundation.

This year, organisers will be working with co-hosts Moshi Moshi, NME Radar and The Line of Best Fit to name but a few, so you expect plenty of great new acts. Tickets will be on sale soon at the Swn Festival 2012 website.
