The festival, which is based in Bristol, has announced that ‘Braitan’s main pop girls’ will be joining the already star-studded Saturday lineup of Jamie XX, Little Simz, Khruangbin, Fred Again, and many more.

Charli XCX’s career is hitting new heights with her latest album CRASH becoming her first UK number one. The ‘first times’ for the performer doesn’t stop there, as their appearance on the Forward’s main stage will actually be her first time performing in Bristol.

While Charli XCX will perform on Saturday, Forwards will continue over the weekend as they have a whole lineup on Sunday with The Chemical Brothers being announced as headliners.

The action doesn’t stop there, as the festival is also focusing on being a “platform for urgent, forward-thinking conversations”.
