---

New additions are set to join Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Pet Shop Boys, The Killers, Caribou, Kelly Lee Owens, Slowthai, Whitney, ionalee/iamamiwohami and many more at the mountain-top Spanish festival in July.

Bilbao BBK Live unveils the second wave of acts bound for the Biscayan capital in July 2020. Today’s new additions, including FKA twigs, Bomba Estéreo and Perfume Genius, will join acts including Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Pet Shop Boys, The Killers and many more from 9th to 11th July in Bilbao.
 
Avant-pop genius FKA Twigs prepares to make her Bilbao BBK Live debut. With her latest album Magdalene, Tahliah Barnett has undoubtedly secured her place as one of the greatest artists and performers of her generation and her performance is certain to be a true festival highlight.
 
Bomba Estéreo, led by Colombians Li Saumet and Simón Mejía, bring their irresistible mix of electronica, cumbia and Latin sounds to Kobetamendi. Their mesmerising live performances have become a mainstay on festival bills across Europe, the U.S. and Latin America, and anyone who has seen them on stage will understand why. This is a band that never fails to get the crowd dancing!
 
Seattle-artist Perfume Genius also stars. Since his 2010 debut, Learning, Mike Hadreas’ songs have soundtracked a myriad of television shows and films.  With latest album, No Shape, achieving great success, this is sure to be one of the most anticipated festival performances.
 
Fresh from announcing a new studio album, Triángulo de Amor Bizarro are also lined up to play Bilbao BBK Live, along with Dublin band Inhalers, Australian Stella Donnelly, and leading Spanish artists La Bien Querida, María José Llergo and Xabi Bandini.
 
These new acts join a whole host of musical stars in Bilbao from 9-11 July, including Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Pet Shop Boys, The Killers, Caribou, Kelly Lee Owens, Four Tet, Supergrass,  ionalee/iamamiwohami, The Rapture, Slowthai, Whitney and many more.
