UK soul singer Michael Kiwanuka will headline, performing material form his Danger Mouse-produced sophomore LP, Love & Hate. He’s joined by Mackensize Scott, a.k.a. Torres, who cemented her place as one of indie-rock’s preeminent songwriters with her 2017 LP, Three Futures. Rounding out the bill are LA indie-pop duo Blissful; rising Icelandic artist Glowie, who just signed with Columbia Records; Icelandic R&B artist Auður; and Icelandic songstress Sylvia
