Plan B is delighted to announce that the 7th Accelerator festival will be an expanded two day event at a new, 5000 capacity site in Stockholm. Previous years at the festival have included the likes of Sonic Youth, Joanna Newsom, Devandra Banhart, Silver Jews, LCD Soundsystem and Cat Power, and this is the third successive year that Plan B has been media partner.

Promoters Luger say, “It?s still going to be the one time of the year when we try to gather all of our favourite acts, and still keep an intimate feeling - but we felt it was time to do something different after six successful years.”

Tickets are available from Ticknet
