The Shuffle is one of the major players in Swindon’s cultural calendar, showcasing a vast variety of the town’s local unsigned original talent with old favourites, the up and coming, and musicians fresh on the scene.
From July 11 to July 15 bands and musicians will be invading The Tuppenny, The Victoria, The Castle, The Beehive, and Baila. As per usual Swindon Shuffle is completely free to attend, and this year is partnered up with local charity Swindon Mind to raise money and awareness towards mental health - gig-goers will be able to pledge donations at each venue.
Over 40 local artists will be performing over four days - the line-up includes The Harlers, True Strays, Tasmin Quin, Hip Route, SexJazz, Flour Babies, Moleville, The Oxymora, Canute’s Plastic Army, Matthew Bryant, Grasslands, GETRZ and many many more! On Saturday July 14 Baila will also be hosting after party DJs.
