Ahead of the event, the stations have been offering their listeners a chance to win tickets to the festival and will be playing out performances across the weekend as well as featuring exclusive interviews and content both on-air and on socials.

Thanks to its headline partner Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Absolute Radio will be broadcasting live backstage with Sarah Champion and Ben Burrell hosting shows on Friday and Saturday (7-10pm) with the station’s biggest ever festival programme wrapping up the weekend (4pm-12am) with James Bay and the Manic Street Preachers among the performances live on-air. The rest of the on-air team comprises of Magic Radio’s Harriet Scott and Emma B with Tom Green leading the coverage for Hits Radio.
