It's going to be hot!

The headliners of the festival in 2020 will be alt-J and A$AP Rocky. This was revealed at the Atlas Weekend Headliner Shower at Fedoriv Hub, an event dedicated to the opening of the Atlas Weekend season. The names of the headliners were announced by festival founder Dmytro Sydorenko.

alt-J is a British indie rock band. The band was formed by Joe Newman (guitar/vocals), Gus Unger-Hamilton (keyboards/vocals), Tom Green (drums) and Gwil Sainsbury (guitar/bass). 

  A$AP Rocky is an American hip-hop artist and a member of the A$AP Mob collective.  

A$AP Rocky was supposed to headline Atlas Weekend 2019, but ended up in prison in Sweden over a street brawl. The rapper denied his guilt and left prison before the verdict was handed down after US President Donald Trump intervened.

Later it became known that the US was ready to impose sanctions against Sweden over the A$AP Rocky case. Eventually the rapper was found guilty and given a suspended sentence. Less than a month later, his lawyer was shot in Stockholm.

At Atlas Weekend 2019 in Kyiv, he was replaced by A$AP Ferg.
