Arrivals will be featuring its first ever line-up this year that includes Bobby Friction, Anish Kumar, Nabihah Iqbal, and Nikki Nair.

Earlier this week, it was announced that the entire line-up for the Shangri-La event was released. Festival goers can look forward to seeing Knecap, Bob Vylan, and Lambrini Girls among other artists.
