The recently reformed group will appear on the main stage on the Saturday of the event, which runs from June 10-12.

The group will perform in their original line-up of Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Russell Senior and Mark Webber.

"When I heard they were reforming, I had to get them, they are the soundtrack of a generation,” festival organiser John Giddings said.
