Natalie Prass, Nadine Shah, Stella Donnelly and Jimothy Lacoste join Airwaves 2018 line-up
The next round of additions to this year's Iceland Airwaves sees the formidable Natalie Prass, Nadine Shah and Stella Donnelly join rapper Jimothy Lacoste on the line-up.
Donnelly comes fresh from a series of breakout shows in the UK capital this month, ahead of a reissue of her debut EP Thrush Metal via Secretly Canadian while Prass (pictured above) will be playing tracks from her sophomore album The Future and the Past, due for 1 June release. So-hype-right-now-it's-ridiculous London rapper Jimothy Lacoste is also added along with fireband singer/songwriter Nadine Shah.

Erased Tapes-signed Högni also plays a show at the National Theatre, complete with choir and string section.
