Sideways’ line-up has doubled after adding 25 new names to the line-up. Among the additions are ten new international performers.

The international line-up will be supplemented by the loud and experimental hiphop group Death Grips (US), Panda Bear & Sonic Boom (US/UK) (known from Animal Collective and Spacemen 3), folk, surf music and post-punk to Turkish traditional music combining Gaye Su Akyol (TR) and A Tribe Called Quest power-house Ali Shaheed Muhammad (US) together with the multi-instrumentalist Adrian Younge (US).

Sideways’ own house band Ruusut will perform a special show ”Melankolia Live”.

Other international additions are latex covered dreampop duo Desire (US), dark folk performing Emma Ruth Rundle (US), a sold-out show in Helsinki performed pianist Hania Rani (PL), and a requested comeback to Finland offering synth-punk band Kælan Mikla.

Improvisation mastering Irreversible Entanglements (US) and Supersilent (NO) bring a variety of jazz to Sideways, and psychedelic tequila cumbia combined with rock quitars will be showcased by Los Bitchos (UK).

Domestic know-how are brought to Nordis by Samuli Putro, Business City and Sin Cos Tan. Rap selection is supplemented by a great bunch: Hassan Maikal, Ege Zulu, Nelma U, Stepa & Heimo ilman menneisyyttä and Tre-Funk III. And to the friends of honest guitar music we have Radiopuhelimet, Maan Tomu, Stoned Statues and moshimoshi waiting for you.
