Grace Jones added to Common People line-up

Having already announced Fatboy Slim at the top of the billing for the Saturday, Southampton-based festival Common People have now unveiled Grace Jones as the headliner for the following Sunday.

Making its debut later this year, Common People is the brainchild of the Bestival organisers who are looking to bring their unique blend of fun and music a little earlier in the year.

Talking about the new announcement, curator Rob Da Bank said, “Grace Jones is a global icon in music and style, and an all-round radical lady, who has made some of my favourite records... She also put on one of my favourite festival performances ever, at Bestival, so I can't wait to watch her at Common People!”

Along with Grace Jones, the festival have also unveiled performances from Years & Years, Secondcity, Waze & Odyssey and Jeremy Underground.
