On Friday, July 8, Stone Roses will headline, while US rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers will close the main stage on the Sunday.

“The last time Calvin played, we didn’t know about Will Smith until five minutes before he went on. “We knew he was in the touring party the day before, but we had no idea he was going to go on stage with him.
“That was wonderful. It was a great moment.
“So, who knows what Calvin will do.
