The xx Enlist Earl Sweatshirt, Robyn, More for Iceland Festival

Earlier this year, the xx concluded their Night + Day Brixton event series, which saw the band organize concerts, film screenings, pop-shops, radio shows, and more in South London over the course of a week. Now, the series returns with new guests for a three-day festival at Skógafoss, a waterfall in Iceland. Day + Night Iceland, held from July 14-16, will feature performances from Earl Sweatshirt, Robyn, Sampha, Kamasi Washington, Warpaint, Floating Points, Call Super, and more. The xx and Jamie xx will also perform. See the full lineup below.

The xx recorded parts of their very good third album, I See You, in Reykjavík, which is about two hours west of Skógafoss. “We fell in love with Iceland while recording some of I See You there a few years ago,” the band said in a press release. “We are so looking forward to returning and bringing some of our friends, from near and far.” The festival is limited to 6,000 tickets.
