 must play its role in "leaving a positive impact upon the environment", the music festival's director has said.

The two-day event, which takes place in Manchester in June, has announced a series of measures to reduce its impact "both locally and wider".

Its "green pledge" includes using biofuel in generators, banning single-use plastics and using "clean glitter".
