Kiasmos, RHYE, Novelist, Dave, Dubfire, Dusky, Foreign Beggars, Kerri Chandler, and lots more have also been confirmed four the fourth edition of the fest.
As well as the big names, there's a whole heap of up-and-coming Icelandic talent to absorb, including some of the Nordic nation's finest hip-hop/rap acts, such as Alvia Islandia, Lord Pusswhip, GKR, Úlfur Úlfur, and Emmsjé Gauti.
We had a great time at Secret Solstice this year, which saw sets from Die Antwoord, Deftones, and Radiohead - read our review.
Secret Solstice 2017 takes place 16-18 June in Reykjavík, Iceland. Tickets and accommodation packages are on sale now.
