Also set to perform this year is Jack Savoretti, Jess Glynne, Paul Weller, Tears for Fears and the wildly successful clubbing-classical crossover, Haçienda Classiçal, with more acts to be announced. Head here for further details.

Stereophonics will head among the trees prior to their appearance at Lytham Festival and a massive show at Swansea’s Singleton Park in July. They also headline Newcastle’s This Is Tomorrow festival in spring. The band’s most recent album, ‘Scream Above The Sounds’, was released in 2017.
