Diana Confirmed for 2015 Somersault Festival

Diana Yukawa is thrilled to announce her performance at the 2015 Somersault Festival. Now in its 2nd year, Diana will take the stage with her producer to perform her latest music, due for official release later in 2015.

The festival is back for 2015 after its sell-out debut saw a previously unimagined festival concept come to life. Created by the team behind the award-winning Wilderness Festival, Somersault promises five days of stripped-back happiness and blissful outdoor life. With seaside escapades, field trips, trekking, mountain biking, horse riding, surfing, craft and culture, wellbeing and yoga and other excursions augmenting the international music programming.

Long table feasts from headline restaurant partners sit alongside landscape theatre and outdoor spectacles. A riverside wellbeing area nestles close to a secret forest glade where late night parties hum. Alternative circus and street theatre meet international music stars. Archery, falconry and survival camps beside volleyball tournaments.

Somersault’s home is a magical, rambling corner of North Devon. A mystical garden punctuated with lakes, 18th century temples, breath-taking viewpoints and the river Bray. Rolling hillsides, majestic trees, endless skies. The perfect place for camping out under the stars, for adventure, exploring, outdoor pursuits, tree-climbing, nature-loving and seaside adventures. Castle Hill is just 19 miles from Croyde – North Devon’s epic sandy surf beach and village steeped in old-world charm.


The festival vibe is special: inseparable from that uniquely west coast, laid back state of mind. Our partners Surfers Against Sewage are a huge influence and champion our environmental values. The environmental charity protects the UK’s oceans, waves and beaches via community action, campaigning, education and scientific research. They offer a fantastic presence at the festival, co-ordinating off-site surf escapades and curating an onsite programme of music, art, talks and plenty more.

This award recognises women flourishing the world of performing and visual arts, arts management, creative writing and on-screen arts. Diana said “she is truly honoured to have been shortlisted for this awards”.

Diana is amongst fifty other accomplished women, who have been shortlisted for the 2015 Asian Women of Achievement Awards. Now in its 16th year and in association with RBS, the event aims to highlight the often overlooked contribution that Asian women make to sectors including business, sport and culture.

In addition to the Songwriter and Solo Violinist, this year’s shortlist includes Shelina Janmohamed, vice-president of Ogilvy Noor, the world’s first Islamic branding agency. Lucy Choi, the entrepreneurial niece of shoe tycoon Jimmy Choo, is also shortlisted, along with Farah Dakhlallah, Arabic spokesperson for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

The awards, which will be held in London on 19 May, were founded by Pinky Lilani, who received an OBE in 2007 for her work to celebrate women’s achievements.

Referring to this year’s shortlist, Pinky said: “What really makes me happy is seeing these women who are hugely talented but are so collaborative, very kind and humble. They all seem so honoured to be involved.”

The awards will take place just before Diana takes to the stage at this year’s Innocent Unplugged and Wilderness Festival.

Diana is also due to release her collaborative album, Codex by Ghost Harmonic (John Foxx and Benge) earlier the same month.
