By The Sea have announced the first wave of acts playing this year’s festival, which is taking place for a second year at the Dreamland Amusement Park in Margate. If you like to mix eclectic music tastes with the adrenaline of smacking someone in a dodgem, this may just be your bag
Headline sets this year will be provided by the Super Furry Animals, who are teasing new music as we speak, and Wild Beasts.
Also joining the bill are Mystery Jets, Jagwar Ma, The Big Moon, Let’s Eat Grandma, Anna Meredith, Joe Goddard, Ibibio Sound Machine and Bill Ryder-Jones.
By The Sea takes place at the very tail-end of the festival season, happening on the 30th September to the 1st October - tickets are available from this Thursday (5th May).
