Illuminations will return to London this autumn with more movies and talks among the live music and art installations.
The festival series, now in its fourth year, looks set to be as diverse as ever in 2015. Oneohtrix Point Never aka Daniel Lopatin will perform alongside special guests and a live A/V set at Village Underground on November 8, and Holly Herndon will bring her ever-evolving A/V experience to Oval Space on November 4.
Modern goth Zola Jesus will play her first UK show in over a year at the Islington Assembly Hall on November 7 and Mica Levi will bring her trio Micachu and The Shapes to Oval Space on November 5.
Also on the bill, Texan native Josh T Pearson will play his first headline London show for over four years at St John at Hackney Church, Brooklyn metal band Liturgy will join noise-rockers Three Trapped Tigers at The Dome, and New Jersey prog-punks Titus Andronicus will play Village Underground.
Curated by London promoters Rockfeedback, this year’s series will also include an expanded cinema programme with special screenings of Heaven Adores You, the documentary on the life of Elliot Smith, They Will Have To Kill Us First, about the banning of music in Mali, and Rain The Colour Blue with A Little Red In It – a Tuareg homage to Purple Rain.
Tickets go on pre-sale exclusively through Dice on July 22, and on general sale on July 24 at 9am for all events from Rockfeedback and Illuminations (note that Titus Andronicus is already on sale).
