The singer, who is also headlining Glastonbury, will be joined by Fleet Foxes and Seasick Steve.

Other artists on the bill include Ben Harper & Relentless7 and The Pretenders.

The Pretenders frontman Chrissie Hynde said the group would willingly play a “garden shed” to share the same bill as Young.
