Reading and Leeds Festival organisers have announced the official line-up for this year's BBC Introducing Stage.
Over the years, the BBC Introducing Stage has exposed crowds to bands that are now on the precipice of becoming very big. Think Don Broco in 2011 and Slaves and Catfish & The Bottlemen in 2013.
Here's the next batch of bands hoping to transition over to the major leagues.
Headlining the Friday at Reading and Saturday at Leeds will be Georgia, joined by:
Viola Beach / The Jacques / The Amazons / Martin Luke Brown / Moon Tourists / LIFE / Return To Rome
Topping the bill at Reading on Saturday and Leeds on Sunday are Clean Cut Kid, joined by:
Clay / Demob Happy / White / John Joseph Brill / Ducking Punches / Crosa Rosa / Area 52
Closing the stage at Reading on Sunday and headlining Leeds on Friday are Childcare, with:
The Big Moon / Hyena / Hidden Charms / Willie J Healey / Kit Trigg / Skinner / R51 / Otherkin / Vitamin / Malpas / White Room / The Mallrats / Treason Kings / Samuel S. Parkes / Happy Daggers / Where Fires Are / NARCS.
Acts across the rest of Reading and Leeds festival include Kendrick Lamar, The Libertines, Mumford & Sons, The Maccabees and Jamie T.
Both festivals take place between 28-30 August. You can grab Reading tickets here and Leeds tickets here.
But be sure to plan ahead if you're going to Reading Festival, as there's yet more rail strikes on the way.
