Confirmed to headline, in what will be her only German festival set this summer, is the trailblazing FKA TWIGS. The British artist is widely regarded as one of the most original representatives of alternative pop in the last decade, and has been wowing audiences with her captivating theatrical live performance around her latest release, ‘Magdalene’.

Check out the official announcement video:

Joining her will be one of the most exciting and prolific experimental pop musicians in recent years CHARLI XCX, who also works regularly as a songwriter for famous musicians such as Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello (‘Señorita’) and Selena Gomez (‘Same Old Love’).
