Saturday at the festival will be headlined by the Geordie troubadour Sam Fender – whose tunes ‘Seventeen Going Under’ and ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ will likely lead to some of the biggest singalongs of the weekend – and Oxford indie rock titans Foals.

There are also sets scheduled from the likes of Wet Leg, Loyle Carner, Bicep and Leeds’ own Yard Act.
