Sled Island 2018 First Wave Lineup Announced

Get your airhorns out! The first wave of Sled Island 2018 artists is here.

We're pleased to announce that we've tapped experimental indie pop titan Dirty Projectors, spooky pop sensation John Maus, heart-wrenching Sled Island alum Mount Eerie, ambient singer-songwriter Grouper and boundary-breaking pop act Lido Pimienta.

Also confirmed is your first round of picks from Sled Island 2018 guest curator Deerhoof. They've selected versatile indie-rock duo Wye Oak, futuristic hip-hop act Shabazz Palaces, fun-loving garage-rockers Cherry Glazerr, ex-Battles composer Tyondai Braxton, cosmic punks Guerilla Toss, electronic improviser Eucademix (Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto) and no wave deadpanners Lithics. Look out for even more of the band's picks later this spring.

Rounding things out are Italian metal legends Ufomammut, revived grunge punks Slow, moody electronic producer Synkro, longform experimentalists 40 Watt Sun (featuring Patrick Walker of Warning), corrosive metal innovators The Body, avant-garde improvisers Oren Ambarchi & Will Guthrie, swaggering garage-rockers Wand, plus vicious shredders Bat Fangs (members of Ex Hex and Flesh Wounds).

The complete Sled Island 2018 lineup, including additional headliners, 230 more bands as well as comedy, film, visual art, special events and conference programming will be announced in the coming months. In the meantime, start exploring today's artists with our handy web player or our new Sled Island 2018 Spotify playlist!
