Lovebox 2019 - Friday

After a fantastic debut year at its new location of Gunnersbury Park, Lovebox returns this year with an incredible line-up for 2019.

On Friday night, Lovebox will welcome back the globally celebrated American artist Solange, two years on from her epic performance on the Noisey Stage, where it was reported that she ‘broke free from the hospital’ to perform an unforgettable headline set. Following the release of her debut record ‘A Seat At The Table’, which went to number one on the US Billboard Charts. In the wake of this seminal album, came performance art shows at the Guggenheim Museum, the Chinati Foundation in Marfa and London’s Tate Modern. At the end of 2018 Solange revealed that new music was on its way, making this sure to be one of the most hotly anticipated performances in London this summer.

Lovebox are also thrilled to have 2 Chainz, J Hus, Cypress Hill, SG Lewis, Tiffany Calver, and Tara Lily added to the line up. They will be performing alongside, another stand-out act to join the line-up today is American hip-hop collective BROCKHAMPTON (UK EXCLUSIVE). The group received global attention after the release of their third studio album ‘Iridescence’, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. In its review of BROCKHAMPTON’s sold-out performance at London’s KOKO last year, DIY magazine deemed them as ‘the most exciting group on the planet’.

American rapper, television personality and author Action Bronson will bring his signature personality and hip-hop style to Lovebox this year. Although over the years Action Bronson has become a celebrated food-enthusiast and TV personality, with his own talk show ‘The Untitled Action Bronson Show’ and food channel with Viceland, he has also established himself as a key player in the global hip-hop scene. The two time BET Award-nominated artist has released five studio albums, collaborating with legendary acts and producers including the likes of Ghostface Killa, The Alchemist, Raekwon, Wiz Khalifa and more.

Lovebox will showcase the best of Britain’s home-grown talent this year, with a performance from British hip-hop artist Loyle Carner, who first rose to prominence after the release of his debut album ‘Yesterday’s Gone’ in 2017, which received highly-coveted nominations from the Mercury Prize and the BRIT Awards (Best Male, Best Newcomer).

Another exciting British talent to take the stage this year will be Northampton-native rapper slowthai, who has gained buzz around the country largely due to his exhilarating sweat-fuelled live shows, typically ending with him wearing nothing but his underwear… slowthai was included on BBC’s ‘Sound of 2019’ poll as well as Vevo DSCVR’s ‘Ones to Watch 2019’.

Other acts not to be missed at this year’s festival include American rapper and hip-hop artist Cupcakke, celebrated for her unapologetically honest lyrics and videos, Further talent comes in the form of North London grime artist Tion Wayne.
