Swindon Shuffle announces line up for this year's musical extravaganza!

It’s that time of year again! The Swindon Shuffle is like our musical Christmas here at The Ocelot, and they’ve just released details of all the bands and acts you can enjoy across four venues from 12 - 16 July.

Featuring headliners like The Tribe, Kid Calico and The Astral Ponies, Diagonal People, Misfires and True Strays, this year’s Shuffle is going to be a sublime ride through the variety of music on offer from Swindon and the local area.

The Swindon Shuffle was conceived and founded in 2007 by Richard Craven, Phil Dyson and Paul Jellings from Songs of Praise Promotions, plus Neil Gammon from Black Lava Promotions and Tim McDonald from Yankeeboy Promotions.

Using the basis of already established city centre music festivals like the Camden Crawl, The Great Escape and the Oxford Punt, the aim was and still is to bring together the community to showcase a thriving local music scene.

The idea for the music festival, and inspiration for the festival name, started as a “shuffle” by the crowd between several music venues on one particular night to watch the performing acts, but this had expanded before even the start of the first festival to be a four day event held across many venues.
