Farr Festival 2017, has announced their second wave artists to join their line up. First up is Nao, one of the freshest and most gifted artists in R&B was also nominated for Best British Female Artist at the Brit Awards 2017.

Through a unique live set, Leeds-based outfit Submotion Orchestra will bring their diverse mashup of electronic bass, entrancing vox elements, ambient, jazz and dub tropes along for a truly fantastic performance. In addition to this, PMR Records affiliate SG Lewis will share his emotive and nocturnally-flecked soul to the live stage.
Next in line is Panorama Bar resident Tama Sumo who will join the festival for her second appearance, who is sure to heat up the woods with her brightly-hued, funky, feel-good selections. In addition, acclaimed French selector Ivan Smagghe and Disco Halal head honcho Moscoman are also both set to unleash some heavy damage under the canopy of Bygrave Woods.
