Meanwhile, a number of artists had already been confirmed for the three day festival – which will take place at 30 different venues across the city of Brighton – earlier this year.

They include Kate Tempest, Alabama Shakes, Django Django, Ibeyi, Genghar, Dutch Uncles, George the Poet, Stromzy, Swim Deep and Mumdance & Novelist.
