British punk veterans Buzzcocks have been announced among the next wave of acts for Splendour Festival 2017.
Kaiser Chiefs are headlining the annual festival at Wollaton Park on Saturday July 22.
Busted, Billy Ocean and Spandau Ballet frontman Tony Hadley were announced along with other acts earlier this month.
British punk band Buzzcocks have recently finished their 40th anniversary global tour and will play on the Confetti stage.
Buzzcocks have six studio albums producing hits such as Orgasm Addict and UK top 40 single Ever Fallen In Love.
George Akins, owner of DHP Family which runs Splendour, said: “We’re confident Buzzcocks along with our other bona fide music legends and award-winning bands backed up with an exciting lineup of fresh talent bursting out of our local music scene, will contribute towards another fantastic day out for the whole family.
“With ticket sales currently ahead of all previous years, this year’s Splendour is set to be an event not to be missed.”
Rising star Will Varley returns to Splendour with his contemporary folk songs and will be performing on the Main Stage.
Varley has previously been invited to open for Frank Turner who has described him as ‘one of the best singer-songwriters in the UK’.
Yola Carter has also been announced for the Main Stage and the singer-songwriter will bring a blend of country soul.
She has been recently voted as the ‘UK Artist of the Year’ at the UK Americana Awards and has worked with critically acclaimed acts such as St Paul and The Broken Bones and Imelda May.
Local artists Bud and Josh Wheatley join the bill on the Confetti Stage.
Bud’s reggae tracks have been played by BBC Radio 1’s Alice Levine, Greg James and Scott Mills and have been championed by BBC 1Xtra’s David Rodigan.
At the end of 2016, Bud was one of the most played artists on BBC Introducing in the East Midlands.
Josh Wheatley has caught the attention of BBC Radio 2’s Janice Long with songs focusing on the heart and soul.
