A festival spokeswoman said: “The band are back to their funky best and, with 30 years of stone cold tunes in their locker including Virtual Insanity and number one hit Deeper Underground, expect a massive set of singalong anthems and some seriously groovy dancing.”

Also appearing will be singer-songwriter Beabadoobee, Aussie punks Amyl & The Sniffers, Mersey rockers The Coral, The Enemy, Katy B, Dylan, Inspiral Carpets, Crawlers, Newton Faulkner and Wunderhorse.
