Exclusive: Watch Kamasi Washington in conversation with Sondre Lerche at this year's event

Lana Del Rey has been announced to headline Oya Festival in Norway in 2017, the festival said on Thursday.
Held at Toyenpark in Oslo, the festival will also host The Hellacopters, Mac DeMarco, Angel Olsen, Lars Vaular, Jenny Hval, Vince Staples, Car Seat Headrest, Nils Bech, BadBadNotGood, Charlotte Dos Santos, Julia Jacklin, Sigrid, Silja Sol, Stein Torleif Bjella, Hester V75, Daniel Kvammen, and John Olav Nilsen & Nordsjoen.
Fans of Lana Del Rey have been waiting on new material after she teased tracks earlier this year - she recently announced that she would be appearing at Flow Festival alongside Aphex Twin and The xx.
She shared a photo from the recording studio, after which fans discovered that a new song called ‘Wild Side’ was registered under her real name (Elizabeth Grant) – and written with her go-to co-writer Greg Banks.
