Nelly and Kano to headline Strawberries and Creem Festival

Cambridge’s new independent music festival, Strawberries & Creem, has just announced its headliners for 2016 – revealing legendary US rapper NELLY and UK grime sensation KANO as the acts topping the bill.

With four UK number 1 hits and 13 UK top tens, Nelly is one of American hip hop’s biggest crossover successes – and will headline the event in Cambridge on Saturday June 11th with an exclusive UK festival performance.

Fresh from releasing his hotly anticipated new album ‘Made In The Manor’, Kano is one of the most respected grime MCs of all time – and will join this year’s Strawberries and Creem line-up as a second headliner.

The eclectic mix of music acts on offer also includes veteran reggae selector David Rodigan MBE, comedy UK garage crew Kurupt FM (of BBC3 fame), pioneering grime MC D Double E, the recognisable grime personality Big Narstie and electronic producer duo Snakehips who recently achieved global recognition with ‘All My Friends’ (108m hit on Spotify).
