The U.K. festival circuit is set to welcome a new addition this summer with the arrival of Diaspora Calling!, headlined by the legendary Lauryn Hill.
The event will make its debut on British soil on Aug. 7, taking over the 65,000-capacity Milton Keynes National Bowl in England.
Alongside a rare appearance from Hill, the inaugural U.K. edition of Diaspora Calling! will feature fellow Fugees founding member Wyclef Jean as well as YG Marley and Zion Marley.
Additional acts across two stages are expected to be announced in the coming months.
According to a press release, the event will also feature a street food village and other immersive art installations.
Established by Hill in 2016, the first edition of the Diaspora Calling! took place at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre in New York, with the intention of showcasing artists and musicians from Africa and the African diaspora.
