And if you add the ones we’d already announced:@MileyCyrus, @MumfordAndSons, @LittleMix, @zaralarsson, @JamesArthur23, @thegreatkhalid, @Mabel, @1future and @the1975, that’s pretty bloody good. If you don’t like any of these 31 artists, I’m out of ideas. Maybe try Magic.

The announcement comes after Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes has said his voice is fully-healed after the band was force to cancel several shows due to his health problems.
Bring Me The Horizon had to cancel their final two U.S. tour dates due to Sykes’ ruptured vocal chord. Sykes later took to Twitter to explain his ruptured vocal cord further.
The event takes place May 25 and 26 in Middlesbrough’s Stewart Park. Tickets go on sale Thursday at 5 p.m. and you can find out more information about that here.
