HIT The Deck are pleased to announce the latest additions to this years lineup.

Joining the bill in Bristol on April 19 areThe Blackout, Kids In Glass Houses, Hawthorne Heights, Neck Deep, The Maine, Kristopher Roe, and Seahaven.They join headliners Brand New, Saves the Day, Memphis May Fire, The Summer Set and Palm Reader amongst others that have already been announced.

Kids In Glass Houses singer, Aled Phillips, is excited about his bands return to the events, saying: "Hit The Deck was the first festival we ever headlined and that makes it pretty special for us. Nottingham and Bristol have always been great cities for us to visit. It's a great way to kick off the festival season and Brand New are playing too, which ain't half bad. We'll be doing something a bit different with our set this time around, but I think we'll keep that under wraps until a later date. People will just have to wait and see."

Ohio's Hawthorne Heights have confirmed that they will be playing the festivals as part of their 10 Year Anniversary of 'The Silence In Black and White' tour, with singer JT Woodruff saying, "We're extremely excited to bring our 10 Year Anniversary Tour of our first album, The Silence In Black And White, to the UK! It's hard for us to believe this will be our first appearance on the Hit The Deck Festival, but better late than never! We're thrilled to make Hit The Deck part of this special tour! We hope to create some everlasting memories for all (ourselves included)."
