Other acts announced alongside Crookes include Aussie soul singer Don West, iconic 1970s funk group WAR, London-based producer BexBlu, R&B artist Charlotte Dowsson, Brother Wallace and The Josh Barry Experience. They’ll be joining Mercury Prize-winning headliner Little Simz, Afrobeat collective KOKOROKO, the infectious Obongjayar, celebrated neo-soul musician Lady Wray, and so many more.
