Hide AdBrighton-based rock duo Royal Blood, who have won multiple BRIT Awards, as well as Kerrang! and Q Awards, will be bringing the Saturday to a close with a headline set, while Sunday’s headliner Richard Ashcroft, who first rose to fame as frontman for The Verve, will be performing songs spanning 30 years of hits.
Craig David’s DJ set will combine everything from dance anthems, 90s R&B to Garage and Bashment bangers, while Bombay Bicycle Club are another act set to make their Y Not debut.
Rag’n’Bone Man shot to success in 2016 and has the fastest-selling debut album by a male artist of the 2010s. With a cracking voice that gives classic soul belters a run for their money and an eclectic sound, fusing rock, blues and Hip-Hop, Rag’n’Bone Man is the definition of an authentic artist. His rise to prominence has been epic, earning three BRIT awards and praise from Gorillaz and Calvin Harris along the way.
The iconic names on the bill are endless - from rap royalty Eve to the universally acclaimed indie outfit Sundara Karma, the euphoric Annie Mac, punk veterans Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and the quirky Lucy Spraggan. They are joined by Shed Seven, The Zutons, DJ Fresh, DJ Yoda, Dinosaur Pile Up, Jade Bird, Futureheads, Terrorvision, Dream Wife and many more.

“We’re delighted to announce Richard Ashcroft and Royal Blood as headliners by giving them their own trees - plus we have Bombay Bicycle Club, Rag N Bone Man, Levellers, Eve, Annie Mac and many more.
