The second wave of Sled Island 2018 artists is here! Today's list features 60 artists from near and far, including fresh picks from 2018 guest curator Deerhoof. Read on for details!

New additions to this year's lineup include live electronics masters Mount Kimbie (playing a full band set), perennial Sled Island fave and guitar wizard Mary Timony (performing her famed Mary Timony Plays Helium set), electro R&B crooner Harrison Brome and bassy troublemaker josh pan (co-headlining the Sled Island Block Party as well as playing sets at the HiFi Club), plus giddy garage rockers Peach Kelli Pop (joining an already-announced show headlined by Cherry Glazerr at Dickens).



Three new Deerhoof selections have been added to the lineup as well. We think you'll love discovering the experimental rock sounds of empath, Prissy Whip and Solid Freex as much as we did!
