Skepta announced as headliner at London’s We Are FSTVL 10th anniversary next month

London grime legend Skepta has been announced as the latest name on 2023’s We Are FSTVL line-up, which will mark its 10-year anniversary from August 25 to 27.

The renowned MC and producer, known for hits such as That’s Not Me and Shutdown, has had a huge influence on the grime scene, both as a solo artist and as part of UK rap collective Boy Better Know, pioneering the sound of grime in the capital and overseas.

Skepta has since taken the dance music world by storm, with the launch of new house music label Más Tiempo with fellow Boy Better Know member Jammer.

The two released collaborative EP Mas Murder earlier this year, celebrating the project and label launch with a massive show at KOKO Camden on April 30.

The pair has released further material under the new house music label, including new track Touching My Body, featuring Cambridge-born soul singer Etta Bond.

Skepta will be headlining the Solid Grooves stage and is one of the latest acts to be announced on the bill, with fresh names including Shonky and Jackmaster also added to the Solid Grooves line-up, which already included heavy-hitters Seth Troxler, PAWSA, Dennis Cruz and Silvie Loto for the Saturday instalment of the festival.

We Are FSTVL celebrates its milestone 10th anniversary at Damyns Hall Aerodrome, Upminster, with some of the biggest acts in the dance music world, including The Prodigy, Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, East End Dubs, LF System, Amelie Lens and ANOTR, with many more acts announced across the full weekend.
