London MC Kibo is scheduled to headline The Canopy stage at Reading + Leeds Festival. This marks a significant moment for the artist, who previously stated he would not attend festivals unless booked to perform.
Kibo's latest album, 'Kwengletaria: Ragamyff', is described by him as grime-adjacent, rather than a direct example of the genre. He views the album as a comprehensive presentation of his self-devised mythology, Kwengletarianism, which aims to bring a sense of magic to everyday life.
The artist expressed excitement about performing songs from the new project at the festival, noting that these will be among his first performances since the album's release.
