Hailing from the snowy Japanese city of Sapporo, Qrion first started making music on her phone in high school. From small beginnings, sheās gone on to seize the attention of the masses with a series of groundbreaking releases on Anjunadeep; her stellar album debut, āI Hope It Lasts Foreverā, was championed by the likes of Pete Tong, Diplo, Lane 8, and Todd Edwards. Excitement is ramping up for her appearance at the Weekender, which marks her first Anjunadeep show in the UK since 2019.Ā
