The Inner West-focused Sad By Sad West festival is back in Sydney this May.

Sad By Sad West II follows the successful launch of the event last year, and the 2017 lineup features a bunch of great indie acts from Australia and overseas.

The Sad By Sad West II lineup is:

Music: Carb on Carb (NZ) – Pinch Hitter – Long Distance Runner (NZ) – Zzzounds – Pinkbatts – Mc Lovin – New Seddon Dads – Bilby – Sink Head – Lower Body – Subsumer (USA)

Poetry: Allison Gallagher – Toby Fitch – John McCallum – Rory Green – Naif Martin – Holly Isemonger – Amelia Dale – Dave Drayton

The event takes place over three days at three venues across the Inner West:

Thursday May 4 – D.I.Wine & Dine at Cornersmith – $50 (includes paired three-course meal)

Friday May 5 – Beatdisc Records – $15

Saturday May 6 – Red Rattler – $15
