This year's Melt Festival lineup is complete! We're a little astonished ourselves as we've never put the finishing touches to our lineup so early in the year.

Five months before acts like The xx, Florence + The Machine, Fever Ray and Tyler, The Creator will conquer the stages at Lake Gremmin, we added more high-caliber acts to the bill with our dear Melt friends Modeselektor (DJ) and Apparat (DJ) leading the way. We're also thrilled to announce that Little Dragon, Westbam and some of the finest up-and-comers such as Rex Orange County, Kali Uchis and Zhu also confirmed their appearances.

Gernot, Sascha and Szary, the boys behind Berlin electro supergroup Moderat, have been amongst the top acts on your bucket list for years. It is fair to say, when they decided to say goodbye to the live stage and go on hiatus last summer, everyone was in a bit of a shock. But since the three of them and Melt are always good for a surprise, we'll bring them back on one single stage; not as Moderat mind you, but as a back-to-back DJ set extravaganza featuring Modeselektor and Apparat spinning tracks on the MeltSelektor Stage. The stage's hosts and curators will also take the stage on Friday, of course: alongside their traditional Modeselektor DJ set, the duo will have plenty of special guests and surprises up their sleeve. Westbam's first appearance at Melt has also long been overdue. Just like Adana Twins and Efdemin, you can catch him behind the decks at Sleepless Floor.

But that's not all. We're excited to welcome Little Dragon back into the fold, the true masters of genre clashing (something we can't get enough of at Melt) who've worked with greats such as Drake, Flume and Gorillaz since we last met. The band fronted by Yukimi Nagano will travel to Ferropolis with new material in tow, just like Mount Kimbie and Fischerspooner.

Just as important as our heroes and legends are, of course, all the smashing up-and-comers that turn Melt into one of the most eclectic European summer festivals. After collaborations with Tyler, The Creator, Vince Staples and Jorja Smith, singer Kali Uchis will grace the stage in the City of Iron with her impressive voice for the first time. BBC Sound of 2018 finalist Rex Orange County will showcase his singer-songwriter skills, and, after providing his flow to Charlie XCX's "Delicious", Estonian rapper Tommy Cash will find his way to Melt as well. US-based DJ and producer Zhu, who rose to fame with his track "Faded" and remixes for Portugal.The Man and Migos will celebrate his Melt premiere.

So, that's it for our lineup this year! In the following weeks, our Pre-Party and Forest programme, as well as info on art installations created at the Art Space for our 20th anniversary last year and other specials, will be announced.

Currently, "Phase 2" tickets to Melt Festival are available at 129,00 EUR. Group tickets are available at 479,00 EUR, and day tickets at 69,00 EUR.
