Stormzy headlining Day 1 at TRSNMT Festival 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Stormzy, FKA twigs, Michael Kiwanuka and Mac Demarco are leading the latest announcement for Flow Festival.
Also joining Bon Iver in Helsinki between August 14th-16th are Bikini Kill, Chromatics, Koffee and Mabel as Stormzy adds another festival to his extensive world touring behind Heavy Is The Head.
“Heavy Is The Head finds our hero wearing a sort of crown on the cover, staring at the Banksy designed stab vest from Worthy Farm, Union Jack and all, the symbolism still a perfect metaphor for the risks of daring to be black, successful and socially conscious in these times,” our album review reads.
“Make no mistake either, the haters are gonna hate this, which is exactly the reaction he’s trying to prompt. It is, in one way, like a game. Opener Big Michael sets up a narrative that reminds these would-and-could-be’s how far he’s come, played out over a nifty bass that links him to his south London roots, but the ante has been raised, he’s pumped up and throwing all the envy and suspicion back in the direction it’s coming from.”
