The 1975, fresh off the back of a double whammy of awards at the Brits last week, will be playing at the weekend, along with Little Mix, Zara Larsson and Miley Cyrus.

Also announced were Mabel and Khalid, with the full line-up expected to be announced over the coming weeks.

The event marks a return to the park by Radio 1 19 years after the station held its One Big Sunday event.
