International record distributor and promoter Hostess’s Weekender events have become a Tokyo indie-rock institution within just a few years. The thrice-annual event’s June edition offers a mix of indie veterans and emerging lights. Long-running Icelandic electro experimentalists Mum are back, as are Brit-rock warhorses Travis, British Sea Power and Editors. Norway indie poppers Team Me debuted only in 2011 while Indians are generating press as the alter ego of Copenhagenite Søren Løkke Juul, just signed to legendary indie imprint 4AD.
