The post-punk Leeds quartet, English Teacher, and Mercury Prize winners Ezra Collective will be making their debut at the summer’s conclusion event.

The Smile, a unique art-rock/post-punk project with Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead will dazzle crowds with their genre-defying performance. The Postal Service + Death Cab For Cutie celebrate the 20th anniversary of their classics, ‘Give Up’ and ‘Transatlanticism’, with Benjamin Gibbard playing both albums in their entirety, commemorating their influential journey. The Kills make a return with their new album, ‘God Games’, showcasing a shift to piano-driven rock that will charm the crowds with an electrifying performance.

Ana Moura who blends fado with African roots and electronica, promises an irresistible celebration of diversity at MEO Kalorama.
