25 Mar 2011 Art Brut to headline Saturday Night!
We’re pleased to announce the Saturday night headliners at Good Weekend will be indie rock legends Art Brut!
With a track called “Good Weekend” we sort of felt we had to get them along for our first year, and we’re pretty confident they’ll put on a hell of a show
