INHALER, FONTAINES D.C., J HUS AND 9 OTHER ARTISTS CONFIRMED FOR PUKKELPOP!

FRESH ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 16

Zero 'sophomore slump' for Inhaler. While their debut album in 2020 often drew endless comparisons with 'another Irish band,' that elephant in the music room has now vanished into thin air. Catch Inhaler back in Kiewit on Friday, August 16th, standing taller than ever. 

Irish invasion alert! Get ready for more green, white, and orange on Friday, August 16th with Fontaines D.C.. This quintet consistently reaffirms their status as one of the most thrilling bands in the alternative music scene. Fountaines D.C. is bound to set the grass on fire at the Kiewit meadow!

For J Hus, music is his heartbeat. British rapper and singer Momodou Lamin Jallow is one of the pioneers in the Afroswing genre, creating a musical identity for young Britons from African backgrounds with his mix of African, Caribbean and British styles. Mission in Kiewit? Confirming his status as a UK rap favorite.

Also on Friday, Hedex, the hero of the new drum 'n' bass generation and Romy, known as one half of The xx and her amazing debut album Mid Air. They can engage in backstage chats with Fred Again..., Stormzy, Jorja Smith, Soulwax, Denzel Curry, and Sigma.
