Also among the first wave of announcements is an exclusive collaborative curation between Brooklyn's Sacred Bones Records - home to Moon Duo and Amen Dunes among others - and Santiago's Bym Records, who have given us The Holydrug Couple, Föllakzoid and more. Both labels will curate a bill of artists from each of their rosters on the festival's main stage with full details forthcoming.
