"Musically, when we booked them in 2022, it was a defining moment for Radar Festival, signalling that we were prepared to push boundaries. I won’t ever deny they are one of my favourite bands so I can't wait to see them in our stunning new venue for an even bigger party!

"It’s never easy is it?! We’ve been booking bands right up to the last moment of this announcement, some didn’t make it and we’ll be following up with more bands soon! I know people will be blown away with what we've booked, it's worth waiting for!"
