The second wave of artists for a multi-venue music festival in Ipswich have been announced - including the second headliner.

Brighten the Corners Festival is returning in June once again, showcasing local and national artists across five stages in Suffolk's county town.

A number of exciting up-and-coming artists have already been announced, with more now being added to the bill.

Headlining on Saturday night will be Music of Black Origin and Kerrang! award-winning act Bob Vylan, with rapper OneDa, Welsh Music Prize winners Adwaith, Waldo's Gift and HotWax also added to the list of artists to perform.

Marcus Neal, festival programmer, said: "We are so proud to announce the second wave of artists including Bob Vylan who we are certain will bring the Corn Exchange to its knees with their infectious energy this summer.

"Elsewhere across the programme we continue to bring a broad and diverse range of performers to Ipswich, from OneDa’s Mancunian hip-hop, Welsh language indie-pop from Adwaith, the hypnotic psychedelia of Mandrake Handshake and SILVERWINGKILLER’s dystopian breakbeats."

Tickets for the festival are available online.
