Iridescence, which debuted at the top of the Billboard chart last September, was the group's first album since the departure of Amer Vann, who was accused of sexual misconduct last year. Since the release of the project, frontman Kevin Abstract has also released his own solo album, ARIZONA BABY.

Speaking to GQ last month, Abstract revealed that their upcoming project is a "feel-good" album.

"We want to make a summer album," he said. "Not too sad and like, 'Oh, our life sucks', just more like, 'Just enjoy what's in front of you'."

Brockhampton, who originally joined forces after meeting in an online Kanye West forum, have become one of the most fearlessly originally hip hop collectives since Odd Future, since the release of their All-American Trash mixtape in 2016. Their set at Longitude was one of the highlights of the weekend, and featured a stellar performance from their Belfast-born vocalist Ciarán "Bearface" McDonald. See our review of Sunday at Longitude here, and photos of their set here.
