Global hip-hop heavyweight Gunna and rising UK rapper Nemzzz are now confirmed to headline on 24 April.
Returning for its fourth edition from 22 to 26 April Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Island, the neo-culture festival continues to fuse music with fashion, sport, art and food.
Atlanta’s Gunna will bring his chart-topping hits and signature YSL sound to the Arena Stage, while Manchester’s breakout star Nemzzz adds fresh UK energy to the line-up. More regional and international acts are set to be revealed soon.
