The newly announced artists join an already powerful lineup led by Lauryn Hill, who will reunite with Wyclef Jean to perform The Score in celebration of its 30th anniversary, alongside YG Marley and Zion Marley, completing a cross-generational programme rooted in music, culture and diaspora connection.
The new acts announced include, Erykah Badu, one of the most influential and artists of her generation, a UK legend in Giggs, Fireboy DML, one of the defining voices in contemporary African music, as well as an appearance from Dave Chappelle, the award-winning comedian and storyteller whose work has become synonymous with sharp social commentary and fearless cultural observation.
