Cruïlla, Barcelona's big summer music festival, has added new names to its line-up, with British synth-pop band Years & Years and soul singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka joining the likes of Kylie Minogue, Love of Lesbian and Dorian at the event's 10th edition in July.

A day before Years & Years and Kiwanuka play on Saturday July 6, will see master of African reggae Tiken Jah Fakoly perform, along with power rock trio Berri Txarrak, in one of their final appearances before they hang up their instruments for good.

Cruïlla announced the first acts that will play in Parc del Fòrum in November, in the shape of Minogue, US rock band Garbage and UK band Bastille. French jazz pop singer Zaz, Catalan indie band Love of Lesbian, and Barcelona outfit Dorian were added in December.

Things kick off on the Thursday with the likes of rappers Natos y Waor, hip-hop artists Ayax y Prok, and Catalan trap singer Lildami. Friday will see British band Foals and Spanish indie rock artists Vetusta Morla on the line-up with Australia's Gang of Youths and DJ Amable.
