“It is important to us that we listen to who our customers want to see play at their festival, the fans are in control and we are doing all we can to deliver the bands they asked for. Both The Cult and Gary Numan were heavily requested by fans in our polls. Gary Numan is a big act for us, we’ve grown up with him and I’m also personally really chuffed that The Cult have confirmed us as their only UK show, it’ll be awesome, see you down the front!”
