The summer music festival will run across three stages and a full weekend this year, raising capacity by roughly a third after two consecutive editions sold out within days of tickets going on sale.
The third stage is given over to regional and emerging acts, with programming handled in partnership with four independent venues. Organisers said roughly half of those slots would go to artists who have not previously played a festival of this size.
The programme
The main stage carries the headline slots across all three days, with the second stage running a parallel programme weighted toward electronic and dance acts in the later hours. The third stage closes earlier each night under the site licence.
Organisers have kept the site layout broadly unchanged despite the capacity increase, adding the third stage in an area previously used for parking. Shuttle provision from the nearest station has been doubled to compensate.
The third stage exists because we kept turning down acts we wanted. That is a good problem, and this is the fix.
Ticket pricing holds at last year level for weekend passes, with day tickets rising modestly. A limited allocation of local resident tickets is again reserved for the surrounding district at a reduced rate.
The full lineup is to be published in stages over the coming weeks, with the headline acts confirmed and the remaining slots announced in two further waves.
