A lineup of renowned global names set to appear at the 15th Arsenal Fest (June 26-28) in Kragujevac has gained yet another addition. On the festival’s final night, June 28, Michael Kiwanuka will take the Main Stage at the Knežev Arsenal.

The acclaimed British singer-songwriter is currently promoting his fourth studio album, Small Changes, released in November last year.

Kiwanuka (37) seamlessly blends rock, soul, and folk in his distinctive songwriting style, leading many to consider him a successor to legends such as Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding. His debut album, Home Again (2012), earned him widespread acclaim and popularity in the UK, while his second album, Love & Hate (2016), propelled him to global fame, garnering fans worldwide.

The richly arranged album Kiwanuka (2019) earned him the prestigious Mercury Prize, while his latest release, Small Changes, confirms that Kiwanuka is currently at the peak of his creative powers. The audience in Kragujevac will have the chance to experience his deep, emotional voice and hear career-defining hits such as “Cold Little Heart”, “Love & Hate”, and “Home Again”.

Speaking about live performances, Kiwanuka offers an interesting perspective: “We artists don’t actually go on tour to make money. That’s why we put on big productions and lose everything. Touring is the time when we connect with our fans, and they are the only reason we have the best job in the world.”

On the third night of the 15th Arsenal Fest, June 28, the already announced legendary British group Faithless and the French crossover band La Femme will also take the stage.

Looking ahead to Arsenal Fest 2025, global stars Massive Attack, Mongolian folk-metal band The Hu, and the regional sensation, Slovenian group Joker Out, are set to perform.

Individual tickets for the first day of the festival (June 26) are available for 3,000 dinars at all sales points and on the Tickets.rs website. Ticket packages for all three days are also on sale for 6,200 dinars. Starting Wednesday (February 26), single-day tickets will be available for the second day of Arsenal Fest (June 27) for 2,500 dinars and for the third day of the festival (June 28) for 3,000 dinars.
