"The festival has always focused on presenting artists who are singular and one of a kind, who push the sound and state of the music forward. This year is particularly special for us, with a lineup that continues to read like a playlist of taste, focused on artists that we love. Artists who are your favorite artists' favorite artists. Stylistically diverse, singular and soulful."
