New Belgian festival and& finalises 2018 programme

The new festival and summit and& is set to make its debut this year at Belgium’s Leuven on 2-5 May.

Those confirmed for the event’s inaugural edition this year include deep house duo Bicep – for which they’ll be performing live – Berlin-based producer Laurel Halo, Planet Mu’s Jlin, Legowelt, Joy Orbison and Ninja Tune’s Jordan Rakei amongst others.

Extending beyond music, the event’s carefully-curated programme will set out to explore the intersection of health, technology and creativity with a host of speakers, inventors, thinkers and entrepreneurs enlisted for the summit. Speakers include NY-based designer and storyteller Stefan Sagmeister, winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize Shigeru Ban, SPACE10-founder Carla Cammilla Hjort and others.
