Taking place in Market Place on Saturday, September 13, the event will see a range of musical acts take to the free main stage, as well as a number of 'aftershock' events in the evening.

Everything Everything - one of the UK's most respected alternative bands - have already been announced as headliners. Other main stage acts include KOG, Prima Queen, The Clause, better joy, and Burton rising artists Joel Foster and Leah Wilcox.

From 8pm, aftershock stages open across the town. Entry to these venues requires a ticket giving access to over 50 artists performing throughout the evening.

This year's aftershock lineup includes several acts making national and international waves.

These include Stoke's Lissy Taylor, recently signed to Universal Music; Chiedu Oraka, who is supporting Coldplay on their stadium tour; The Bug Club, with new music released on US label Sub Pop; better joy, touring with Amy Macdonald next year; and The Clause from Birmingham, who appear at major UK festivals throughout the summer.
