Architects, Machine Gun Kelly, Sleep Token and more are set to play 'the UK's first alternative hip-hop and rock festival', ALT+LDN.

The Clapham Common event – which takes place on August 30 – will see these rock acts performing on the same bill as Playboi Carti, Lil Yachty, The Kid LAROI and Lil Skies to reflect 'the sound of the modern youth revolution'.

A press release describing the event announces: "Forged from the inescapable world of hip-hop and alternative culture that has come to lead the way over the past 12 months, ALT+LDN is a celebration of a fire new subculture no longer defined by genre boundaries or backgrounds.

"It’s about kicking against the norm, ripping apart the rulebook and celebrating individuality – with the raddest names in the game touching down for a Bank Holiday Monday you’ve never seen before."
