The 2009 Hillside Inside lineup is taking shape, and the newest additions are Sam Roberts Band and Stars.

The two acts will join Bedouin Soundclash, K’Naan, Great Lake Swimmers and others for the Feb. 7 Guelph, Ont. indoor festival. The inaugural Hillside Inside festival was held earlier this year with headliners City And Colour and The Weakerthans.

Sam Roberts Band will play a string of Canadian dates with The Stills leading up to the festival, and lots of U.S shows after it. Stars will be resting from their Australasian tour before the fest.
