Elsewhere, Faithless (Saturday) and Vampire Weekend (Sunday) will headline the In New Music We Trust stage.

Australian duo Pendulum will retrun to the event after playing in Maidstone, Kent in 2008.

Speaking to Newsbeat bass guitarist Gareth McGrillen said: "That particular show was almost like a milestone for us last time we did it. It was a big turning point for us as a band. To be asked back is a pleasure."
