Splendour Festival has revealed its full lineup of artists who will take to the stages to help celebrate the event’s fifteenth year. The festival is due to take place in Wollaton Park on Saturday, July 22 and Sunday, July 2023.

Artists including The Vaccines, Everything Everything, DYLAN, The Coral, Jake Shears and Inspiral Carpets have been added to the star-studded event. Headliners include Madness and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in what promises to be the festival’s biggest year yet.

The lineup on Saturday will see Madness, Rudimental and Sugababes on the main stage along with Everything Everything, Venbee, James Marriott and Girlband. Vicky McClure will return to the main stage for a second year following her emotional performance with the Dementia Choir at Splendour Festival 2022.

Sunday will see DYLAN, Vicky McClure and Our Dementia Choir join Noel Gallagher, The Kooks and Confidence Man on the Main Stage, with The Royston Club and The Chase opening.

When it comes to the confetti stage, The Vaccines will headline on Saturday along with The Coral, Cian Ducrot and Betty Boo, as well as Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell’s new band Jealous Nostril. On Sunday, Jake Shears and Inspiral Carpets join headliner Sam Ryder and Altered Images on the Confetti Stage.

There are several local acts also joining the bill including Nottingham band Divorce who are tipped as ones to watch. Girlband will also perform. The Nottingham band are a BBC Introducing favourite channelling the likes of Wet leg and Big Moon.

DHP’s Director of Live Anton Lockwood said: “By expanding across two days and securing our legendary headliners Madness and Noel Gallagher, we had a unique opportunity to book amazing new talent and contemporary acts such as DYLAN, Venbee, Cian Ducrot and lots more.”

“We’ve added a host of viral chart-topping acts who are making waves on Radio 1 this year to give a fresh perspective to the bill, in addition to all the iconic and classic festival acts for which Splendour is known.”

The Confetti Stage at Splendour is in partnership with the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies, a leading provider of creative industry education.

Craig Chettle MBE, Chief Executive Confetti, said: “We’re thrilled to once again have Confetti artists join the festival line-up alongside legends like Noel Gallagher and Madness! Acts include student band Luna & The Lime Slices who won our recent Battle of the Bands in front of a sell-out crowd at Metronome for a coveted spot on the Confetti stage.

“It will be incredible seeing them perform, alongside our other talented Confetti acts: Courtney Mark, Airport Dad, Lyvia and Cam Mannix, who’s flying high off the back of recording this year’s Confetti/Denizen single with producer Mikko Gordon (Arcade Fire, The Smile, Gaz Coombes). We’re all about making sure students get the best chances to ‘Do It For Real’ and where better to learn than on stage at Splendour in front of thousands!”
