  • The Dragon’s Tail field has been opened to the public and the Shangri-La area has been revamped to add green space in the south-east of the site.
  • Organisers have expanded the Other Stage audience area in anticipation of Charli XCX’s Saturday night set.
  • The official app’s planner will supply real-time crowd forecasts to direct fans along ten different site routes.
  • Headliners include The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, with a secret act called “Patchwork” due on the Pyramid Stage.
