The grime legend will be joined on Friday by the likes of Deerhunter, Bonobo, Boy Azooga, Earl Sweatshirt, Julia Holter, Jungle, Kelly Lee Owens, Methyl Ethyl, Modeselektor, Pip Blom, and many more.

Soul singer Jorja Smith will share the Saturday bill with Diplo, MorMor, Octavian, Pusha T, Sinkane, HAAi, Erol Alkan, and more.

The new site is a 10-acre plot situated near Tottenham Marshes, and has four interlinked warehouses on site. The new location is also a hotspot for Enfield Council, who are looking to make Meridian Water a proper community.
