It’s organised by BBC Radio 1 every year at different locations around the country, previously being at Maidstone and Preston. There are 3 stages in total, all under one extremely large pavillion tent – the ‘Main Stage’, ‘In New Music We Trust’ and on Sunday 10th at 6:20pm Gallops will be playing 2nd to headline on the ‘BBC Introducing’ stage.
The Main Stage line-up was announced last week by Zane Lowe and Chris Moyles and it includes some big name acts; Kasabian, Snow Patrol, Doves, Maximo Park, Franz Ferdinand, White Lies and Friendly Fires amongst others.
The BBC Introducing show was announced tonight by Huw Stephens on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show.
