Electronic long-timers The Prodigy, who lost vocalist Keith Flint in 2019, will open the headline slots on the Friday night; synth-pop stalwarts Pet Shop Boys will play the Saturday; and, in a UK festival exclusive, Green Day will see out the festival on the Sunday.
Tickets are on general sale from 6 November at 9am via the festival’s site – Barclaycard and Three customers can be first in line with exclusive pre-sale access for 48 hours from today.
Following the recent release of The Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light, Mike Skinner’s The Streets are also on the billing, as are pop-rockers Scouting For Girls and the Swedish popstar Zara Larsson.
