Let’s talk headliners, shall we? First up, we have the British grime sensation, Stormzy. Known for his politically charged lyrics and electrifying live performances, he once got so carried away on stage that he ended up playing his set in the wrong venue. Talk about an unforgettable show!

Next on the roster is the dreamy American singer-songwriter, Steve Lacy. Armed with an indie-pop sound that’s smoother than butter, he’s also a multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire. He’s so multi-talented that he once accidentally played the wrong song during a live gig, but the crowd couldn’t get enough of it.

And then there’s Dominic Fike, the American rapper and singer-songwriter who’s a genre-bending wizard. His style has been compared to the likes of Frank Ocean and Tyler, the Creator. Dominic is so eclectic that he once rocked up to a festival in a dress, and guess what? He absolutely slayed the look.
