What to expect from this edition

The tenth edition arrives with a programme spread evenly across the days. Foo Fighters, Florence + The Machine, Twenty One Pilots and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds headline four days with distinct identities, but the appeal of the line-up also lies in the depth of its mid-tier and electronic names.
