Masayoshi Takanaka is the latest headliner to be announced for Palace Bowl Presents, a brand-new festival series in the iconic Crystal Palace Bowl. Takanaka will return to the UK following two O2 Academy Brixton shows – sold out in minutes – and will perform an extended 2 hour show. Support will come from legendary jazz keyboardist Himiko Kikuchi, performing her 1987 jazz fusion masterpiece Flyin Beagle in full, and Ginger Root (DJ set). City Pop Waves will be a first-of-its-kind outdoor festival celebrating Japanese music in the UK.

Palace Bowl Presents will feature an eclectic lineup of global headliners taking place from Friday 31 July to Sunday 16 August.
