Aphex Twin to Headline the UK's Forwards Festival
Forwards Festival, the Bristol-based "festival for forward thinkers," will have the elusive Aphex Twin and iconic songstress Erykah Badu headlining in 2023.
The legendary electronic music producer has been confirmed for this year's Forwards Festival, which is scheduled for September 1-2 in Bristol. He's set to take the stage on the fest's second day along with Arlo Parks and Jockstrap, among others. Bonobo, RAYE, Olivia Dean and more will perform the day prior.
Forwards Festival
Forwards Festival debuted at Clifton Downs in 2022 and takes place in September every year. In addition to booking the high-profile musical performances this year, organizers are reviving "The Information," a conference-like experience that hosts "hard-hitting and powerful talks." The full lineup of speakers will be announced later in 2023 ahead of the festival.
