There will be two outdoor stages, and an indoor speakeasy, showcasing UK and EU talent, both live bands and DJs, as well as circus performers vintage stalls, crazy decorations, projections and all sorts of other madness. Artists are working on various installations with all sorts of mediums, so you can expect some of the best that the second city has to offer.

New to 2014, ticket holders will have the chance to attend dance workshops held by some of Europe’s leading professionals, with a diverse programme offering lessons in lindy hop, jazz steps, right through to modern and street dance too.

Further new additions to Swingamajig 2014 are the Vintage Cinema and Electric Hamster racing, allowing festival goers an opportunity to retreat from the madness of the party by escaping to a haven of 1920’s decadence.
