Other artists set to perform at the sold-out festival include Fat Freddy’s Drop, Kora, Benee, L.A.B, Shapeshifter, Bailey Wiley, State of Mind, The Leers, Headland, Scribe & P-Money, and Ultraviolet. Organisers said in a written announcement that they hoped to have Sultana, Ocean Alley and Bootleg Rascal at a second Electric Avenue concert on April 24, which would be free for all ticket holders. “Everyone involved is committed to delivering this second show, and if the show in April is still unable to proceed we’ll be working to reschedule to a later date.”
