This includes Queens of the Stone Age, Madison Beer, Denzel Curry, Sofi Tukker, Super Whatevr, Wallows, Oliver Tree, Tate McRae, MizorMac and Nation of Language.”

For those heading to Bramham Park, the Leeds site will again be welcoming a full timetable of after-hours events at Late Night Leeds from Thursday night with DJs and performers taking to the three stages, Anachronica, a new dance stage, and of course the legendary Picadilly Party, to keep festival goers partying until the early hours. With a brand new, audio-visual experience stage, among the line-up on the dance stage will be DJ SemtexBadBoy Chiller CrewFumez The EngineerHariett Jaxxon and chart-toper 220 Kid.

This year the Anachronica stage at Leeds is “focusing on all things in the forefront of UK dance music. DJs who are pushing the limits and pioneering in Jungle, Garage and Dubstep will be stepping up into the Mad Max-esque world of Anachronica, skillfully salvaged and adapted to blast out some of the biggest tunes late into the night.”

More information to be released in the next few weeks will include the artists appearing on the Alternative Stage

Weekend tickets are on sale priced at £232.20 including fees, while day tickets are priced at £81.50 for any day at either location.
