Grace Jones is slated to headline a new one-day festival in south London called Love Motion.
Organised by Soundcrash and Brixton Disco, the soul, disco and electronic all-dayer will take place at Crystal Palace Park on 26 July as part of South Facing.
Róisín Murphy, Horse Meat Disco, Oli Keens and more are also set to perform at the open-air event.
“Our aim is to produce an event that is fully inclusive and really brings the party!” says Rob Waller, founder and promoter, Soundcrash.
“Completely over the moon that Grace, Róisín, and such an incredible bill have chosen to play this event over many others in town. The Bowl at Crystal Palace being such a cool location should really add to the vibe.”
