Hamish Jolly, promoter: “Absolutely delighted to have the lineup we have for this year. There is a great up and coming/DIY scene in Scotland at the moment and we have tried to reflect that. Getting The Cribs as headliners has been something we have tried to do from day one so having their only Scottish date this year is a real coup.”

When you look at also having the likes of Discopolis, Meursault, Three Blind Wolves, Miaoux Miaoux, Katie Sutherland and Kassidy, among so many other artists. I think we can expect a really special day”

Kassidy’s Lewis Andrew: “We haven’t played the capital in a while now and it always greets us with great shows. The last time we played Liquid Rooms the crowd were electric and blew us away. This time we are going to take it to another level.”

New signing to Chemikal Underground, Miaoux Miaoux: “Really excited for Haddowfest 2012, it’s just what Edinburgh’s music scene needs right now. Can’t wait to share a stage with some great bands”

Katie Sutherland: “I’m really happy to be playing Haddow Fest. Just finished my new album and can’t wait to try out the new songs for the first time. See you in October!”

Sounds like a great day out!
