Among the new names you’ll find Fade To Mind diva Kelela, Phantasy Sound’s rising talent Ghost Culture, grime MC Stormzy and FACT faves Mumdance & Novelist, as well as electronic newcomer LA Priest, aka Sam Dust of Late of the Pier, Danish alt rockers Mew, Las Vegas native Shamir and LA visual artists-turned-electro/R&B duo 18+.
Meanwhile, spoken word star Kate Tempest has confirmed a second separately ticketed show at Brighton Dome – Corn Exchange on May 14 with support from George The Poet and Hollie McNish.
They join previously announced acts Alabama Shakes, Django Django, Ibeyi and Boothroyd among many more. The festival organisers have also announced Great Day Out, a multi-venue music programme on the Saturday of the festival aimed at fans aged 14 and over.
