One of 2015's most promising new festivals just got even more exciting, with London's Citadel Festival adding the likes of Despacio, Anna Calvi, Kurt Vile and more. Full dates and ticket details are below.
The new event at London's Victoria Park had already confirmed that it would be co-headlined by Ben Howard and Bombay Bicycle Club - but now it grows even more interesting.
Curated in collaboration with Wilderness, Communion, Superfly, Soundcrash and Time Out London, the July event has now also added Roots Manuva, Jimi Goodwin, Honeyblood and more - including a long list of comedy and spoken word acts.
Most exciting of all is the addition of Despacio - the soundsystem and ultimate longplay disco experience by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy and 2ManyDJs. We've been along many a time, a believe us when we say it's a night like no other. Read our review of their debut London show here and behind-the-scenes interview here.
Not only that, but Anna Calvi will be performing with the Heritage Orchestra. We saw their first collaboration in London last year and it was beautiful - see our review here.
Citadel Festival takes place at London's Victoria Park on 19 July, 2015. See below at the bottom of the page for ticket details.
