In a statement, festival organiser Ben Ryles said: “We’re very excited to have two of our favourite alt-rock heroes choosing Bearded Theory as their only UK festival for the year.
“We also can’t wait to welcome Amyl and the Sniffers and Future Islands who are both so widely renowned for their incredible live shows, as well as festival favourites Sleaford Mods and electronic icons Orbital.”
Ryles added: “Across this first batch of almost 50 acts there are fast-rising artists at the forefront of their scenes, legendary performers, and plenty of Bearded Theory crowd-pleasers, we’re really pleased to finally reveal them and get the countdown on to the start of the festival season!”
Jane Addiction’s fourth and most recent studio album, ‘The Great Escape Artist’, came out in 2011. Their latest single, ‘Another Soulmate’, arrived in 2013. Earlier this year, the band debuted a new song called ‘True Love’ during a live show in California.
Frontman Perry Farrell later said that working on new material with the band had been “one of the most exciting times” of his life.
In other news, Future Islands returned this summer with a track titled ‘Deep In The Night’ from their forthcoming seventh album ‘People Who Aren’t There Anymore’ (out January 26).
