The prices for the weekend are set to be £408 per ticket, including a £5 booking fee per ticket, marking an increase of £29.50 from the previous year's prices. The lineup for the festival has not been announced yet, but speculation is already running high with potential headliners including Harry Styles, Fontaines DC, Taylor Swift, and Stevie Wonder. Fans who wish to attend will need to register in advance, as part of an ongoing campaign to prevent ticket touts. The festival will also implement an automatic queuing system on the day of the ticket sale, requiring attendees to be online with a valid registration number before the start of the sale.",
