They have released the names of 30 artists who will join headliners Fred again…, Lana Del Rey, Blink-182, Liam Gallagher, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Gerry Cinnamon at the 2024 festival.

Joining an already stellar lineup is the BRIT Award winning R&B group FLO, who are set to appear following widespread critical acclaim.
Teddy Swims, the soulful singer taking the world and airwaves by storm, alternative rap trio Frozemode and the emotive alt-pop extraordinaire Jessie Murph will all be gracing the Radio 1 Stage.
More indie and rock names have been added too – including political punk upstarts Kid Kapichi, Scotland’s finest Swim School and American outfit Dead Poet Society.
They will be joined by The Luka State, queer punk rockers The Oozes and the self-proclaimed ‘TikTok band’ Bears in Trees who have won themselves a global fanbase with their digi-forward DIY approach.
Look out too for Bradley Simpson, frontman of The Vamps, Canadian indie songwriter ThxSoMch, classic rave-inspired quartet Talk Show, rising East London hip-hop star Zino Vinci, Seb Lowe, who has become the voice for Gen-Z political fury, as well as Good Neighbours and viral soul artist Felix Ames.
