The band was formed in Leicester in 1997 and now features founders Sergio Pizzorno and Chris Edwards, along with Ian Matthews and Tim Carter, following former frontman Tom Meighan's departure in 2020.

They are famous for a catalogue of hits from their seven studio albums including Fire and LSF.

This year the festival will be held in Southsea, Hampshire, during the August bank holiday weekend.
