Malian singer Rokia Traoré and Congan band Mbongwana Star are the latest names to be added to this summer’s Glastonbury Festival line-up.
Though still to be confirmed by Glastonbury organisers themselves, multiple listings on Songkick have displayed both appearances, with Mbongwana Star set to perform Worthy Farm on Saturday 25th June. A set day has yet to be announced for Rokia Traoré, mind.
Both appointments continue Glastonbury’s continued support for the best in world music (something that many regular visitors appreciate as the perfect opportunity to broaden their musical horizons).
In a recent interview, Emily Eavis confirmed that the full Glastonbury 2016 line-up will land in April, following yesterday’s announcement of the initial attendee-list. Listen to her full interview here – meanwhile you can stream various outputs from both Rokia Traoré and Mbongwana Star below:
