The festival aims to bring the biggest acts through to the best breaking new bands, alongside a hub of local concessions, and a unique community feel.

The legendary Manic Street Preachers join the line-up following the release of their number one album The Ultra Vivid Lament.

For the first time since headlining the inaugural event in 2018, Courteeners return to Victoria Park on Saturday May 28, fresh from entertaining 50,000 people at Emirates Old Trafford in 2021.

Closing the festival on Sunday May 29, Kasabian are set to bring their huge back catalogue of anthems to Victoria Park after their incredible sold-out tour of intimate venues last year.

Following the announcement of their brand-new, fourth studio album Ribbon Around The Bomb due for release on April 29, Stockport’s finest Blossoms take to the stage on Sunday evening.
