DiS returns to Leicester in a few weeks time for Summer Sundae festival, and we're very pleased to reveal that Ed Harcourt will be our special guest.

On Sunday the 19th August 2012 in De Monfort Hall, DiS will takeover the second stage of Summer Sundae once again, with a bill that mixes the makers of some of 2012's finest album with some fresh-faced local acts and genuine legends. Our line-up, which this year will run much later this year (so take Sunday off work) in alphabetical order is as follows:

DJANGO DJANGO
ED HARCOURT
GOLD PANDA
HER NAME IS CALLA
HEY SHOLAY
JAPANDROIDS
MAYBESHEWILL
STAY+
THE TWILIGHT SAD

Hold up... what is Summer Sundae? It's music festival that takes place at De Montfort Hall and Gardens in Leicester. We've hosted stages there for several years now, putting on everyone from Wild Beasts and Warpaint to Frightened Rabbit and Los Campesinos. This year the event starts on Friday the 17th August and runs for three nights. It's a lovely boutique festival, with good food and a nice ale tent. If you've not already got tickets, there are a limited number of Day, Weekend and Camping tickets still available.
