The festival is returning to the scenic shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland for its 59th instalment, running from July 4 to 19.  

Among a huge line-up, the event has now announced details of a weekend of activities from July 10 to 13 that will spotlight what it describes as “the richness and diversity of British creativity”. 

The weekend is a partnership between London’s Southbank Centre and the Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation and will include music, cinema, literature and visual art.  

Jarvis Cocker will deliver a workshop titled ‘Outsider Art’ the day before Pulp’s performance at the festival, while Horse Meat Disco will play a DJ set at La Coupole on site.
