Wakestock has confirmed Glaswegian rockers TWIN ATLANTIC as one of the latest additions to the line-up. Also announced is DJ JAKWOB who will be bringing his full live show to Wakestock this summer. Other acts added are DOG IS DEAD & London’s newest band THE HOWLING. 

Wakestock also announce the return of this year’s Battle of the Bands competition. With so much up and coming talent across Wales they want to give the hottest new Welsh band a chance to play Wakestock 2013. The competition winner will be chosen by Radio Cymru’s Lisa Gwilym, and the winning band will open the East Stage for Twin Atlantic on Sunday 14th July.

Lisa is a champion of new music in Wales and commented:

“Supporting new Welsh music is something I’m very proud to do on my show on C2 BBC Radio Cymru, and on S4C through “Stiwdio Gefn” and “Pethe”, so I’m very excited to once again be judging the Wakestock Battle Of The Bands. I was so pleased last year to be able to give one of my favourite new bands – Swnami – the chance to play on such a big stage, and I know that Wakestock was one of their highlights of 2012. There’s so much exciting new Welsh music around at the moment, and it’s a pleasure to be able to give someone a great opportunity”

So, if your band have what it takes to raise the roof at Wakestock, why not send a demo through to [email protected]  entitled “Battle of the Bands 2013”. Make sure you include some info about the band, and links so they can listen to your music online. This is a fantastic opportunity for any band and could be the start of something huge! Good luck / Pob Lwc!
