Following up their one dayer earlier this month, Tusk has announced dates and the first batch of acts for its 2014 festival. Taking place between 8–10 October in and around Newcastle's Star & Shadow, the festival hosts performances by Hijokaidan, Borbetomagus, Norbert Möslang and Aine O'Dwyer, with more to be announced.

Tickets are on sale now, and there's a deluxe early bird offer that comes with a copy of Ambarchi/Campbell/Flower's Live At Tusk Festival 2013 LP. More acts, plus talks and a film programme will be added in the coming months. More details here.
