Commenting on the addition of D'Angelo, Bluesfest festival director Peter Noble said, "When Bluesfest confirmed Kendrick Lamar we had the guy who produced the best record in Hip Hop this year, and now we have the guy who recorded the best current record in R&B: D’Angelo."
"We now have playing at Bluesfest, on the same stage and on the same night, the two most important innovators in Rap and R&B today."
The new acts will join the 2016 bill next March alongside heavyweight names such as Tom Jones, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Brian Wilson, The National and more.
