INDIE22 Director Mark Noonan said:
After a couple of years away and all the turmoil that included it’s really great to be announcing such huge headliners for INDIE next year. We really feel that we’ve struck a good balance here and with lots more acts still to be announced - we think it’s one of our strongest line ups to date. We are as ever delighted to announce some wonderful new talent who we think could be the headliners of the future.”
