English folk-rock singer-songwriter MICHAEL KIWANUKA has also earned himself nominations multiple honours including the Brit Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, Mercury Prize, BBC Music Awards. His profound ruminations on his own inner turmoil come out in beautifully raw vocals that continue to captivate audiences across the globe.

These will draw attention to social changes around the world and society’s collective responsibility, with the aim to give different causes a voice at the festival and beyond. As an extension of this, all materials handed out during these special parties including flags, banners, bracelets and more are made from recycled or biodegradable materials. 

Highlight Love Revolution Special appearances come from the likes of renowned primatologist, environmentalist and UN Messenger of Peace, DR. JANE GOODALL, former U.S. Vice President and founder of The Climate Reality Project AL GORE, and poet, activist, UNHCR Goodwill ambassador and former refugee EMI MAHMOUD.
