The single-day affair boasts nearly 70 acts on its promotional poster, with Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, Avril Lavigne, Bright Eyes and Jimmy Eat World also planned for the show.

Paramore’s appearance will mark its first performance as a group since 2018, while My Chemical Romance will also be back together after its own hiatus of several years, which was ended with a 2019 reunion, but saw plans for a full tour in 2020 dashed by the pandemic.
