By Staff

The festival takes place from 7-10 November.

Le Guess Who? is an annual gathering of eclectic music lovers and a celebration of sound. We are happy to collaborate with the festival for the first time, hosting a pop-up radio station alongside COSMOS, a worldwide music community brought together by LGW. Stationed in the festival's main hub, TivoliVredenburg, we will be inviting artists from the lineup - and some special guests - for chats and to play some music. Tune in live via channel two on our website, or come join us at the festival! The last tickets are available here.

Already confirmed for this year's line up are King Jammy, Aba Shanti-I, Arooj Aftab, Cõvco, Theo Parrish, HiTech and many more. As always, LGW also invites some co-curators to collaborate with on programming. This year, the curators are DARKSIDE, Crystalmess, Arooj Aftab, Bo Ningen, Mabe Fratti and Touching Bass.

As well as our on-site collaboration, we will be broadcasting episodes from the festival's COSMOS initiative, beginning today, July 22nd, and running every first Monday of the month from then until November. COSMOS is a globe-spanning initiative that amplifies local scenes from around the world - the first episode platforms the Santuri East Africa music school from Nairobi.
