BE 2026

New Lineup Additions: Anna Meredith + Hans-Joachim Roedelius

Surprise… We are pleased to add avant-synthpop artist Anna Meredith and groundbreaking krautrock master Hans-Joachim Roedelius to the 2017 lineup! Anna Meredith is a composer, producer, and performer. Notorious for her acoustic and electronic music, Meredith’s sound is frequently described as ‘uncategorizable’ and ‘genre-defying.’ German experimental, ambient, and electronic musician Hans-Joachim Roedelius — best known as the co-founder of pioneering krautrock groups Cluster and Harmonia — will also join us for a very special performance at the festival. There are many more details to share and a few more surprises to come, so stay tuned!
