The newly announced acts join the likes of multimillion album-selling Norteño group Los Tigres del Norte (performing their first ever UK show), Mexican-American singer-songwriter and one of the most influential artists in Latin America Lila Downs, Argentinian Nu Cumbia singer-songwriter La Yegros presenting her combination of electronica and psychedelic sounds with musical traditions from Argentinian culture.
