Last month, Hamilton, ON's annual Supercrawl announced its return, with a killer-looking lineup set to hit James Street North from September 12 to 14. Since it's a Supercrawl, and not just a regular crawl, organizers have now expanded the lineup.

The new batch of performers include Hamilton's own the Arkells, who'll bring their peppy indie rock to the Hamilton International Airport Stage on September 12. There are some bigger indie rock names as well, with Broken Social Scene main man Kevin Drew set to perform alongside Dan Boeckner's Operators project, new Arts & Crafts signee Lowell and pop-punk legends Teenage Head.

Edmonton dance pop party animals Shout Out Out Out Out have also been added, alongside the Dirty Nil, Oh Susanna, Harlan Pepper, the Beaches, Illitry and Dead Tired, the new project of Alexisonfire's George Petit.

Need more? The Daptone Soul Revue, featuring Charles Bradley, Antibalas and more, is set to arrive. There's also an appearance from Arcade Fire's Sarah Neufeld, Constantines' Bry Webb and Lost in the Trees, among many others.

These acts will join previously announced artists like Spoon, Four Tet, How to Dress Well, Hamilton Leithauser, Jessy Lanza, Kode9, Ikonika, DJ Spinn and Scratcha DVA.

There are even more artists available, along with more information about the festival, over here. Plus, Supercrawl will be announcing a secret pop up show in the coming days featuring an artist from the 2014 lineup.
