Who? Jay-Z and Pink will both make huge comebacks with Ellie Goulding and Stormzy providing entertainment during the daytime.
Reading/Leeds
Reading
More guitars than you can shake a fretboard at, the annual two-city behometh typically splits its lineup into an "indie" a "pop punk-ish" day and then a "mixed bag with a legend on top" day. Something for everyone then.

When? 7th-10th September
Who? The legendary disco gods Pet Shop Boys will close out Sunday in a double-header with Justice which, lets be honest, is enough reason alone to buy a ticket. The XX and new Brit Award winners A Tribe Called Quest headline the other two nights.
