Beyonce will be joined by Olympic opening ceremony singer and double Brit-winner Emeli Sandeas as well as American rock band Kings Of Leon. The Script, Jessie J, Rita Ora and X Factor winner James Arthur, The Vaccines, Beady Eye, Calvin Harris, Jessie Ware, Two Door Cinema Club, Olly Murs, Paloma Faith, Stereophonics, Basement Jaxx, The Courteeners, Fun, Rudimental, Ellie Goulding and Kendrick Lamar have also been roped in for the festival.
