UK grime kingpin Skepta will make his EP debut this year, as will indie singer James Bay, who has received a string of accolades in the past year, including ‘Best New Act’ at the Q Awards and three nominations at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

Dublin band Bell X1 have also been added to the bill. They'll be joined by Dingle's Walking On Cars, techno producer Adam Beyer, '80s legends ABC, UK electronica duo Gorgon City and alt-rockers The Lightning Seeds.

Classically trained violinist and YouTube sensation Lindsey Stirling will be bringing her electronic beats to the stage along with alt-pop duo Oh Wonder, American experimental-rock outfit Mothers, folksters Hermitage Green and Picture This, who released their number 1 self-titled EP this month.

Also added to this year's line up is hip-hop hero Rejjie Snow, the soothing vocals of Ryan Sheridan, female trio Wyvern Lingo and deep-blues singer Brian Deady. New Jackson will be armed with his blend of disco and house this year, while Picnic heroes King Kong Company make their debut in the main arena after headlining the Salty Dog for the past two years.
