The electronic contingent at the festival also gets a significant boost with the addition of Welsh producer and composer Kelly Lee Owens, appearing for a DJ set, as well as UK industrial pioneers Factory Floor who recently reactivated after a hiatus.
Earl Sweatshirt – whose work since his Odd Future days has moved towards dense, abstract production and elliptical wordplay – joins New York rapper MIKE, and Fatboi Sharif whose surreal, horror-tinged delivery has earned him a cult following in experimental hip-hop circles. Earl and MIKE – along with production crew Surf Gang – are set to collaborate on the double LP Pompeii // Utility next month and their date at End of the Road comes as part of the European stretch of their Home on the Range tour.
International experimentation comes via Angine de Poitrine, the masked Canadian outfit whose microtonal art-rock has earned them a reputation for live shows that are as intellectually challenging as they are physically disorienting. From Turkey, there's Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek who channel the grooves and psychedelic soul of Anatolian folk, while Bolivian-American duo Los Thuthanaka blend Andean rhythms with Aymara composition and psych rock.
Chicago band Ratboys and Vampire Weekend co-founder Rostam also join the lineup, and Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band makes a return after becoming unlikely heroes of last year's event (with three sets across the weekend!)
Further down the bill, there's dream-pop newcomers Deary, spectral folk artist Nina Winder-Lind, groove-driven R&B singer Brother Wallace and rising experimental voices Kloyd and Shaking Hand round out the undercard. Yalla Miku, Way Dynamic and Another Country $$$$ complete the announcement.
They new waves of artists joins Pulp, CMAT and Mac DeMarco, with a final secret headliner still to be revealed.
