Disclosure, real names Guy and Howard Lawrence, has been quiet of late, but their meteoric rise over the past two years has been remarkable, coinciding with pop's convergence with deep house in the U.K. and to a degree in the United States. With the added spotlight, fame and resources, the "You & Me" producers have the ability expand their live event brand WILD LIFE to something greater then what it has been in the past — a one-off show that features either just Disclosure or Guy and Howard and a few friends. They have announced a brand new WILD LIFE Festival this summer with the help of their friends U.K. soulful drum 'n' bass group Rudimental. "Latch" singer Sam Smith, Wu-Tang Clan and George Ezra, will headline the festival.
The lineup is pretty electronic focused, as one might expect with being curated by Disclosure and Rudimental, with additional names like Jamie xx and Seth Troxler set to perform. The two groups made the announcement via a Facebook post.
WILD LIFE will take place June 6–7 at the Brighton City Airport, on the southern coast of England.
The full lineup will be announced on Thursday and pre-sale tickets will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. GMT. You can register for the pre-sale on the festival's website.
Guy & Howard are currently being sued for allegedly using stolen lyrics that were sold to them by a London songwriter's ex-boyfriend, which she claims became tracks "Latch," "You & Me" and "White Noise." Disclosure have denied the claims and the process drags on.
Rudimental make some of the most powerful music videos. Watch the clip for "Waiting All Night" below.
