American rap sensation Yeat, now confirmed for Ruisrock, is a rising pioneer in experimental rap. Also a viral phenomenon, the artist defies the conventional rap song structure and stretches the rules of the English language with his style, which has propelled him to international fame.
In addition to Yeat, another act set to perform at Ruisrock on Sunday is R&B duo Emotional Oranges. Drawing inspiration from funk, the American collective is known for its experimental style and mystery: the members show their faces only when performing live – and even then, fans only get a glimpse of the true identity of these elusive musicians
More names have also been added to the international pop program. Recently confirmed for Ruisrock, Zara Larsson is a big name in Swedish pop, famous for her extraordinary international success. Scheduled to perform at Ruisrock on Friday, the artist has gained attention with her mega hits, such as Lush Life, and her feminist statements.
