The National and Massive Attack will headline the Best Kept Secret Festival in the Netherlands when it’s held between June 12th-14th next year.

“We are very excited that these two names stand at the foundation of a beautiful Best Kept Secret 2020,” festival director Maurits Westerik says. “The National played the best show I ever saw of them at Best Kept Secret. Next year they’ll return with a special High Violet show, which feels like homecoming.”




“Massive Attack, one of the most influential acts from England, is one of those acts I would love to see at Best Kept Secret. Both artists immediately reflect the musical spectrum we wish to share with all our visitors; a heart-warming, melancholic performance that injects that euphoric festival feeling, and the timeless, immersive electronics of one of England’s most influential acts, Massive Attack.”

The National’s High Violet album turns ten next year, and they’ll also be celebrating the anniversary at their own Homecoming Festival in Cincinnati.
