Hit The Deck Festival is proud to announce its second wave of bands confirmed to appear at this year's events.

Among the new additions are US metallers Attack Attack!, genre-blending quintet Sonic Boom Six, Rolo Tomassi and Canterbury, as well as the legendary additions of Jonah Matranga and Walter Schreifels, who will join ex-Movielife and current I Am The Avalanche frontman, Vinnie Caruana, on the acoustic stage. That’s not all, there’s also the cream of the crop from the UK’s blossoming underground, with the likes of Empress, Evarose, The James Cleaver Quintet and Natives and many more amongst the confirmations.

Hit The Deck 2013 takes place across Nottingham’s Rock City, Rescue Rooms, Forum and Stealth venues on April 21st, as well as in Bristol the day before on April 20th for the first time, at the O2 Academy 1 & 2, Thekla, Fleece and Exchange venues.
