Father John Misty, Run The Jewels, Band Of Horses… not too bad at all, no?
The xx will headline Friday night, with A Tribe Called Quest and Duran Duran taking the Saturday and Sunday nights respectively.
If that’s left you with a hankering for a ticket, you might have to wait a bit – the festival completely sold out this morning before the line-up was even announced, leaving lots of punters disappointed.
Organisers confirmed that Sunday tickets were gone as of 9.05am and weekend tickets at 11am.
The official press release states “There isn’t a ticket left to sell”, though a small number will be available to Three mobile customers at a later date.
That’s that then. If you were lucky enough to get a ticket this morning, here’s hoping you’re happy with the lineup!
