Le Guess Who? expands programme for 2022

The Utrecht festival has revealed four new projects for its 15th edition this November.

Le Guess Who? has confirmed Manchester collective GNOD, who will perform at the four-day event and also bring Holy Scum and Moundabout. Mexican DJ and artist Coco Maria has also been announced for the upcoming festival, presenting a live edition of her Worldwide FM Club Coco show. As part of this, Coco Maria will welcome Anatolian singer and multi-instrumentalist Derya Yildirim, Mexican cumbia-punk outfit Son Rompe Pera and Bogotá band Romperayo.

Elsewhere, Le Guess Who? will host the third iteration of Hidden Musics, a project that explores localised musical traditions. This year Hidden Musics will feature Algerian singer Cheika Rabia with dancer Esraa Warda, flamenco artist Lole Montoya and a collaboration between Egyptian musician Nancy Mounir and Utrecht’s The Flare Quartet.

Utrecht-based contemporary art and music platform Uncloud also makes a return to Le Guess Who? with Hinako Omori and Hatis Noit joining the programme. The Uncloud line-up will also feature previously announced performances from Mabe Fratti and a collaborative show from Sote and audiovisual artist Tarik Barri – whose video for Sote’s track Life we premiered in May.

These latest additions to the line-up join the likes of Jana Rush, Nia Archives, Zebra Katz, CURL, Marina Herlop and Moor Mother. Le Guess Who? takes place in Utrecht from 10-13 November. Head to the festival’s website for further information.
