The hits just keep on coming.

Norman Music Festival announced another slew of acts on Monday morning.

Organizers updated the roster for NMF's eleventh rendition with the following acts: Chastity Belt, My Brightest Diamond, Cheyenne (Reunion concert), 18andCounting, New Tribe, Looprat, Curved Light, Husbands, Digisaurus, Zigtebra and Laine.

NMF's scheduled three-day run April 26-28 in downtown Norman is already pretty jam-packed with national talent so it's surprising to see the lineup grow. 

In addition to headlining news concerning Tune-Yards, Parquet Courts and Japanese Breakfast, I also shared an update last month about some NMF acts you should research.

Monday's announcement is also somewhat of a homecoming affair for Shara Nova — formerly Shara Worden, but better known as My Brightest Diamond — who's in the running for coolest musician to ever live in Sapulpa as a youngster.

Her resume includes working with 2018 Oscar nominee Sufjan Stevens and touring with The Decemberists. Nova recently teased news of an upcoming album on her website. She's also joining NMF headliner Tune-Yards on the road as an opening act.

It's been fun watching the new NMF acts roll out and seeing a lineup filled with numerous female-led acts. A full festival schedule should be ready in the near future.

Blink and festival season will be here.
