Elsewhere at the festival, Joyce Manor will commemorate the 10-year anniversary of ‘Never Hungover Again’, Nothing will perform 2014’s ‘Guilty Of Everything’, The Hotelier will celebrate a decade of ‘Home, Like Noplace Is There’ and Thursday will perform a set comprising tracks from two of their most celebrated albums, ‘War All The Time’ and ‘Full Collapse’.

Last year’s edition of the festival was headlined by Denzel Curry, Death Grips, Converge and Bane.

Action Bronson’s last album, ‘Cocodrillo Turbo’, came out in  April 2022. In a statement about the album and its title, he said: “I first came up with this album while in the water. I’ve spent many lifetimes in the water. I’m just a water man. I was born in the water, I’m a water sign.”

Back in 2020, the artist spoke to NME about what his goals for the future were, sharing that he would be “venturing into whatever else I can possibly do”.
