Swindon's Big Arts Day 2012 - Line Up Announcement

The Big Arts Day Programming team are proud to announce the musical line-up for 3 of the stages at this year’s Festival. The standard of talent this year has been incredible and it has been a very difficult task for the team to select the artists to perform, but we are confident that, in line with the Big Arts Day vision of promoting local talent, we’ve selected the very best!

We are delighted that headlining this year’s Main Stage is local hip hop artist, AJ, who has recently returned from a tour of Australia and has performed all over the world including at the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China. AJ will be joined on stage by artists from the Big Weekend stable featuring Bully, Takura (chase and status), Bozo, Daine and friends.

The Main Stage will feature a host of genres from a Brass Band, Jazz, Punk, Rock, Indie and Pop offering a mix of new and original material and some great covers too.
