The new edition of the festival will see the festival feature another round of top-tier performances in its more than 50 stages and electronic arenas like the Colosseum stage. Other highlights of this first announcement include crowd favorite and dance floor connoisseur Jamie xx, alongside Moderat who will be making the fans dance to their dark electronic tunes.
