Also among the second wave of artists booked to play the festival are Anne-Marie, Bastille, The Libertines and Primal Scream.

Several comedy acts have also been booked for the festival, including Rosie Jones, Suzi Ruffell, Katherine Ryan, Joel Dommett and Russell Kane.

The likes of Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sugababes, The Wombats, James, Declan McKenna and Self Esteem were previously announced.

Last year's 65,000-capacity festival included sets from Supergrass, Craig David and Madness.

However, many revellers complained about long queues for toilets and drinks, with reports of some waiting in line for more than an hour.

Organisers apologised, blaming supply-chain issues and staff shortages.
