Indietracks looks like it's going to be even more fantastic this year! It takes place on a 1950s steam railway in the Derbyshire countryside, and as well as enjoying the bands, you can have unlimited trips on the railway, visit the museum and farm and enjoy late-night indiepop discos!
There's over 60 bands playing this year including The Wedding Present, Los Campesinos!, Darren Hayman, The Bobby McGee's, The Kabeedies, KateGoes and The Wave Pictures. Hope you can come along! There's further details at www.indietracks.co.uk
