These newly announced acts accompany an already exciting bill featuring the likes of Newcastle psyche outfit Blown Out, dark techno producers Giant Swan, and The Bug Vs Dylan Carlson of Earth.

tQ will also host a stage and full details on that, including the lineup, will be announced in the coming months.

Started in 2007 by Emma Thompson and Verity Gardner as a platform for independent artists in Salford and Manchester, Fat Out’s first festival was in 2010. Now in its third instalment, Fat Out Fest prides itself on the celebration of independent events amid the surplus of “commercially-led festivals”.

The event will take place from April 14-16 at Islington Mill in Salford and in surrounding warehouse venues with more acts, instalments, workshops and performances pieces to be announced. For tickets and more information, click here.
