Speaking about the event in a statement, slowthai said: "Happyland with happy folk. The place where we can laugh and joke. The place you can be yourself without judgment, expectations and impressions of someone else. The space from the shackles of the everyday. The mountain where we climb to run away. Imagine what you’ve never had when you come to Happyland - you will never be sad.”

Slowthai released his latest album Tyron earlier this year. The release, his follow-up to 2019 debut Nothing Great About Britain, went to Number One in the U.K.
