Rage Against the Machine will be making sure Leeds is anything but 'Calm Like a Bomb' on the Friday night, before Stormzy - who logged a career defining headline performance at last year's Glastonbury - will headline on the Saturday.

Liam Gallagher - who self-confirmed his booking late last year to the chagrin of festival organisers - closes out the Leeds leg on Sunday.

Two Door Cinema Club, All Time Low, Gerry Cinnamon, Courteeners, Run the Jewels, and Slowthai will all be putting in main stage shifts, while Sam Fender, Rex Orange County and AJ Tracey top the line-up on the BBC Radio 1 Stage.
