Le Guess Who? 2018 Lineup

Le Guess Who? 2018 Lineup

Holland’s Le Guess Who? is a more adventurously experimental option to combat the mainstream uniformity of American festival season. It’s niche, and if it’s anything like last year, it will be full of surprises and diversity and revelation.

Back in May, we shared the festival’s initial lineup for it’s 2018 edition, which combined picks from guest curators Asia Argento, Devendra Banhart, Shabaka Hutchings, and Moor Mother. Following sexual assault claims, Argento withdrew from the festival in August, but her chosen artists will remain on the program.

Today Le Guess Who? has revealed its final lineup, widening its carefully curated spectrum deeper into the avant-garde. These new additions include Neneh Cherry, Swamp Dogg, Lonnie Holley, Tirzah, Cass McCombs, Yves Tumor, Hot Snakes, Midori Takada, and many more names from around the globe. Three new special performances have been added as well: Ryley Walker and Kikagaku Moyo, who’ve teamed up to form Deep Fried Grandeur; Yonatan Gat and the Eastern Medicine Singers; and British shoegazers Seefeel, who will perform the entirety of their debut album Quique for its 25th anniversary. Check out the entire Le Guess Who? list below.
