They are joined by a brilliant lineup including Fizzy Blood, Beach Riot, Malika, The Baskervilles, Stereo Honey, Litany, and Sun Arcana.
Taking to the stage on the Saturday in Reading, Sunday in Leeds, are Bessie Turner, Yizzy, The Dunts, Skinny Pelembe, Nonamedisciple, Dylan Cartlidge, and Sit Down.
Closing off the festival weekend in Reading, and kicking it off in Leeds, will be the ever brilliant Sports Team. Joined by Pizzagirl, Lady Bird, The Scruff, Valeras, Tiana Major9, Beth Thornton, and October Drift.
With over half a million tracks added to the BBC Introducing portal since its launch, the BBC Music Introducing service has supported thousands of great acts, propelling countless acts onto the national stage through BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2, 6 Music, Radio 3, Asian Network and World Service.
