The festival will be followed by a Hacienda afterparty.

The all-day event will be headlined by dance pioneers Orbital, set to mark its 30th year in dance music.

Also playing the main stage will be Shed Seven and Happy Mondays.

In a never-before-seen line-up exclusive, Shaun Ryder will support himself with a Black Grape set earlier in the day.

Senior venue sales manager for the Genting Arena, Alex Ginever, said the event is set to be 'epic'.

"The Genting Arena is becoming a firm favourite as an alternative festival location for organisers and we’re sure that gig-goers are going to love it.”
