The full line-up for this year’s AVA London event has now been announced, with electronic music and digital arts communities taking over venues including The British Library, The Standard, KOKO and HERE at Outernet for three days of conferences and performances.
Musician, visual artist, philanthropist and climate activist Brian Eno will present a keynote with EarthPercent, an organisation he co-founded to address climate and biodiversity challenges, whilst singer-songwriter Charli XCX will talk about her career in the music industry to date. Other speakers include Grace Ladoja, an accomplished music manager to artists including Sarz, Beyonce, WizKid, Skepta and many more — as well as being the founder of Homecoming Festival and Platform, and co-founder of Metallic Inc — along with legendary French artist, musician and DJ Laurent Garnier.
A club night held at KOKO will then feature a line-up of cutting-edge artists including Marlon Hoffstadt, DJ Boring, Or:La b2b Spray, Amaliah b2b Danielle, Byron Yeates, DJ AYA, Aika Mal and Sloucho.
Recognising the importance of education, creativity and community, AVA London will be offering a community-focused ticket for the Thursday, which is designed specifically for younger people making their way into the creative industries. The ticket will provide access to workshops with Resident Advisor, TraTraTrax and Foundation FM, as well as the community talks programme at The British Library & The Standard (but not the keynote talks at The British Library).
