Melt Festival have unveiled another crop of acts set to perform at this year's event. Artists added to the bill include M.I.A, Sampha and Hercules & Love Affair. Check out the full lineup below.
The German festival - celebrating its 20th anniversary this year - has already announced plethora of brilliant artists including Warpaint, Phoenix, The Kills, Glass Animals, Kate Tempest and Bonobo.
Also included in the new additions are The Lemon Twigs, SOHN, and Ritchie Hawtin - along with acclaimed jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington; electro hip-hop pioneer Egyptian Lover; all-conquering Dublin duo Bicep. It's shaping up to be an impressively eclectic bill.
Electronic artist Bonobo looks set to give live airings of tracks from his latest record Migration, while Hercules & Love Affair - who returned with the new single 'Controller' this week - are also a bill highlight.
Known as 'The City Of Iron', Melt's festival site itself is one of the event's most appealing aspects, as it's located at a "former coal mine that is home to a number of enormous cranes and towering diggers, the machines create a truly spectacular backdrop for post-industrial raving - a German speciality." Prepare to see some of the biggest acts at a venue like no other.
Melt Festival 2017 takes place at Ferropolis in Gräfenhainichen, Germany, from 14th-16th July. Tickets are on sale now. Check out the full lineup so far below.
