Couleur Café festival has announced 8 new acts, including Nigerian global sensation Tems and US new school rapper and singer JPEGMAFIA, for the 2024 edition.

Taking place at the foot of the Atomium in Osseghem Park from 28 to 30 June this year, the popular festival has already secured the likes of Action Bronson, Tyla, Fatoumata Diawara and STIKSTOF, among many others.

On Thursday, the festival released the names of 8 more acts for the next addition.

Leading the way is Nigerian singer and Grammy Award-winning Tems, whose resumé boasts of collaborations with the likes of Drake, Future, Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Wizkid. Known for her unmistakable voice, her set will doubtless be a festival highlight to close off the weekend on Sunday.

Unconventional rapper JPEGMAFIA will also be performing on Saturday. Born in New York City but raised in Baltimore, JPEG continues to break down the walls of rapping, production and singing with boom-bap beats, RnB, and trap, which all resonate with the essence of 2000s rap while bringing something new to the table.

Ghent-based Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul, renowned for their impressive live performances will also perform on the Saturday with their idiosyncratic and wonderfully ironic electro tracks, infused with techno, funk, and soul elements.

The festival also announced, dancehall legend Busy Signal – who will be whining up waists on Saturday night with his energetic style and distinctive voice, bringing the sounds of Kingston to Brussels.

The remaining names announced on Thursday include futuristic dub artists Alpha Steppa & Awa Fal, the French dub crew Tetra Hydro K, Spain's reggae duo Iseo & Dodosound and and finally, with the highly awarded English jazz saxophonist, Nubya Garcia.
