Hailing from Benin in west Africa, singer Angélique Kidjo has been labelled ‘Africa’s premier diva’ by Time magazine. Her musical influences are diverse and include Afropop, Caribbean zouk, Congolese rumba, jazz, gospel and Latin. She’s sure to lift the spirits of the crowd as she takes her upbeat rhythms to the West Holts Stage.
Following Angélique is a performance from the Park Stage by JARV IS…, the eclectic rock band led by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker. Formed in 2017 to perform at Sigur Rós's Norður og Niður festival in Iceland, the group was ‘conceived as a way of writing songs in collaboration with an audience’. Their debut album Beyond the Pale was released in 2020 to widespread critical acclaim.
