Timm Cleasby, festival operations director, said: “The pandemic has hit us all very hard in a million different ways but the support that Sheffield has already shown us is incredibly humbling for us all.

“We’re super excited to bring you what I feel is one of our strongest line ups.

“The three main headliners have been on my list for a good while now and we’ve got some brilliant returning friends as well.

“All this said, we’re very serious about the public’s safety and take our responsibilities regarding Covid very seriously.
