The first wave of artists has now been confirmed, setting a high bar for the anniversary celebrations. The festival organisers have promised that more acts will be announced in the coming months.
Friday Headliner: Dance Icons Basement Jaxx
Kicking off the weekend on Friday will be the legendary dance duo Basement Jaxx. Celebrated as one of the most influential acts in electronic music, they are responsible for defining the UK's dance scene with anthems like 'Where's Your Head At' and 'Romeo'.
Their groundbreaking debut album, 'Remedy', sold over a million copies, while their compilation 'The Singles' hit number one in the UK and achieved double-platinum status. Their trophy cabinet includes a GRAMMY Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album for 2005's 'Kish Kash' and two BRIT Awards for Best British Dance Act.
Saturday Spotlight: The Streets' Iconic Album Performance
Saturday will see a unique and highly anticipated performance from The Streets. The creative project of Mike Skinner, The Streets are praised for their masterful storytelling that fused UK garage with hip hop.
For this special set, Skinner will perform his seminal 2004 concept album, 'A Grand Don't Come for Free', in its entirety. The album, a Number 1 on the UK Album Charts that achieved 4x Platinum certification, is a 'rap opera' following a single narrative. It spawned iconic Top 10 singles such as 'Fit But You Know It' and the UK Number 1 'Dry Your Eyes'.
Sunday Finale: Indie-Pop Anthems with Bastille
Closing the festival on Sunday will be the formidable indie-pop band Bastille, led by Dan Smith. Known for their huge, singalong choruses, they are the perfect act to bring the 15th-anniversary party to a close.
Their track 'Pompeii' was a global phenomenon, peaking at Number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and becoming one of the most-streamed songs in the UK. Their debut studio album, 'Bad Blood' (2013), debuted at Number 1 on the UK Albums Chart, achieved triple-platinum status, and was nominated for British Album of the Year at the BRIT Awards.
