The band will play on Thursday 18 June and will join Future Islands and Beck, who serve as support acts. It has taken much will power not to use multiple excited exclamation marks in this story.

The festival has enlisted a truly impressive and eclectic line-up this year, including Taylor Swift, Grace Jones, The Who, Blur, Kylie Minogue and Chic feat Nile Rodgers.

In our minds, we're already there.

General on sale tickets are available on Friday 6 March at 9am.
