National treasures the Manics will play hits and anthems from their exhaustive back catalogue, stretching from their 1992 album Generation Terrorists to last year’s Resistance is Futile.

James, dubbed champions of the Madchester era and famous for anthems such as Sit Down and She’s A Star, reformed in 2007 after a five-year hiatus and have been going strong ever since

And there are more big names joining the bill, as support, including The Zutons, Stiff Little Fingers, Sister Sledge featuring Kathy Sledge and The Sherlocks, who will all take to the stage on Saturday.

Then, on Sunday, fans can enjoy performances from Lisa Stansfield, Ziggy Marley, Billy Bragg and A Certain Ratio, with more to be announced across both days.
