Also joining the Friday 24 June line-up are Manchester’s sons James. The nineties heroes return with their unforgettable hits Laid, Sit Down and Say Something plus many more.

Saturday 25 June additions marks the first festival appearances for previous Fall Out Boy favourite Pete Wentz’s new band, Black Cards with their first appearance on the UK festival scene, as well as up and comers Vintage Trouble, who are fast earning critical acclaim in the UK following their appearance earlier in the year on Later With Jools Holland.
