We're very happy to present you the confirmed (almost) final lineup for the 2013 Essen version of our experimental music festival DENOVALI SWINGFEST.
The festival takes place on 4 days - October 3th till October 6th 2013 - at the WeststadtHalle in Essen. Those who are not familiar with the nice venue can find further information at www.denovali.com/swingfest.
The 2013 Essen edition of the festival will feature 21 artists on the regular days and a pre-event with 2 artists on Thursday October 3rd. Their sets will as always be as long as a real club show (around an hour). We'll hopefully be able to announce the last act for Sunday within the next two weeks.
