The ‘These Are The Days’ creator and the Rizzle Kicks star are among the names taking place in the celebration of spoken word alongside the likes of Dizraeli, Emmeline, Facesoul, Kayo Chingonyi and Sophie Thakur at The Roundhouse in London from 1-18 June.

The ‘Mama Do the Hump’ hitmaker, 31, will join in with the festival fun with his night, ‘Jordan Stephens x Lyrix Organix - Desert Island Dubplates’ on Saturday, 17 June, at the Studio Theatre.
