Counterfeit, fronted by Jamie Campbell Bower will be making a triumphant return to Leeds Festival, we’ve only just recovered from last time to be honest.

Mayday Parade and Milk Teeth are also added to the bill.

On the BBC Radio 1 Stage, Machine Gun Kelly is taking time out from his Netflix bipoc to blast out his hits ‘Rap Devil’ and ‘Bad Things’.

DJ Dillon Francis will bring his blend of uplifting melodies and potent dancefloor beats to the BBC Radio 1 Stage this summer, with Dimension also delivering a captivating set of electronic ground-shakers.

Headlining The Pit Stage is American rapper, Ghostemane. Famed for being an innovator of the fusion between rap and metal, he marries raspy black metal textures with juddering industrial low-end frantic hardcore howling.
