Netherlands-based festival Le Guess Who? has announced the lineup for its 2017 edition - and it's quite frankly amazing.

The first curators have now been announced for the 11th edition of the festival, each hosting a range of inspirations and befriended artists, and also performing themselves. Perfume Genius has invited Bulgarian women's choir Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, Mount Eerie, Aldous Harding, Weyes Blood, and Pharmakon.

Grouper has brought along William Basinski, GAS, Keiji Haino and more; while hip-hop act Shabazz Palaces has invited jazz legend Pharoah Sanders, OCnotes, and Natasha Kmeto.

Alongside these names, the festival - which runs from 9-12 November in Utrecht - will also feature Jenny Hval, tUnE-yArDs, Sun Kil Moon, Liars, The Bug vs Dylan Carlson of Earth, Julie Byrne, Kelly Lee Owens, Jane Weaver, Moor Mother, and James Holden.

In all, over 150 artists are set to perform in venues ranging from theaters and pop venues to churches, galleries, and warehouses.
