The final additions have been added to the line-up for Strawberries and Creem festival, which has been rescheduled to a later date due to COVID-19.
Expanding to two days, the event will take over its new site at Childerley Orchard near Cambridge in September, with Giggs, Little Simz (pictured), and Amaria BB joining the bill. Additionally, for the first time ever, Notting Hill Carnival will head over from West London to the fields of Cambridge.
Capital Xtra presenters Yinka Bokinni and Shayna Marie will host the main stage, while previously announced acts include Bugzy Malone, Burna Boy, DigDat, Friction, Koffee, Pa Salieu and Tiffany Calver. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic's travel restrictions, PARTYNEXTDOOR will no longer perform at the festival.
The festival is renowned for featuring big names and rising talent from the worlds of hip hop, R&B, afrobeats, dancehall, house, garage, drum and bass, and more. Co-founder of Strawberries and Creem, Preye Crooks said:
"As an event and institution that has been a mainstay in the lives, diaries and cultures of so many of our team and attendees, it has long been a dream of ours to work with Notting Hill Carnival. NHC and their team embody all that our Celebrate Heritage tagline represents, and when we heard the sad news of their postponement this year, we felt there would be no better way than to celebrate the influence NHC has had on all of us than by collaborating with them.
"We're absolutely delighted this year to be bringing the Carnival flavour and spirit to Cambridge, and it will beautifully accompany many of the Caribbean artists already playing at the festival, such as Koffee. It’s a festival first and something we are incredibly excited about."
