Reporting the festival line-up news, the Guardian said: “Additions to the Pyramid stage – joining previously announced big names such as Guns N’ Roses, Elton John and Lizzo – include the Master Musicians of Joujouka, the Moroccan group from a small village in the Rif mountains who play a deeply involving form of drone music.”

The appearance by the Master Musicians of Joujouka will see their return to Pilton, Somerset, after a triumphant Pyramid Stage set at the 2011 festival.
