Dry the River and Spector are among the first wave of acts confirmed for this year's Great Escape.
The Brighton-based music festival will take place over the weekend of May 10-12 and will also include sets from Africa Express Sound System and We Are The Ocean.
Festival programmer Natasha Haddad said of the lineup: "It feels great to be announcing such amazing acts right off the bat, and there's plenty more artists of all genres to come.
"This is a really exciting year for new music and for TGE, and we're fortunate to be able to showcase some of the greatest talent worldwide."
The Great Escape is one of Europe's leading festivals for new music and has previously played host to Adele, Mumford & Sons and Ed Sheeran.
Tickets for the three-day event are on sale now through the festival's official website.
