Dua Lipa has announced that her father,
Dukagjin Lipa
, has set up a
music festival
in her home country
Kosovo
.
The 22-year-old singer will headline the three-day SunnyHill Festival in her hometown of Prishtina in Kosovo to try and put the country "on the map culturally".
"So proud of my dad @dukagjinlipa who had an idea and a dream and is doing exactly what he said he would. Id like to think I got some of my persistence and hunger from both my parents who have showed me that hard work will always shine through," the singer wrote on
Instagram while sharing the poster on the festival.
The 'IDGAF' hitmaker was born in London to Albanian parents from Kosovo, who had left
Pristina
, Kosovo in the 1990s.
"He had an idea to create a festival in Pristina, Kosovo with lots of international and home acts to really help put Kosova on the map culturally. We have been so lucky to have all our friends join us for one of the most fun and musically diverse line-ups in the region," she added.
The festival will run over the August 10-12 and will also feature surprise headliner, which is hinted to be "the #1 DJ in the world".
"Sunny Hill festival is coming this summer to Germia Park and 25 per cent of all ticket proceedings are going to the Sunny Hill Foundation to aid the youth of Kosova in creative arts. I'm so excited to head down a few days prior to the festival to do some work with the charity and visit my hometown! See you there!" Lipa said.
Other artistes to feature in the festival are rapper
