Jarvis Cocker is to play the V Festival for the first time in 11 years.
The former Pulp frontman is credited with inspiring the idea of the two-venue event in the first place when in 1995, he said he would like to play two outdoor gigs in two days.
Pulp's promoters came up with a plan for the festival, and the first V took place the following year.
Cocker has not performed there since, but is back this year as a solo artist.
The Killers, Foo Fighters and Snow Patrol are headlining the event over the weekend of August 18-19, at Hylands Park, in Chelmsford, Essex, and West Park, Staffordshire.
New acts also announced today include Dizzee Rascal, Ocean Colour Scene and The Cribs.
