Iceland's Secret Solstice has announced its first names for 2017, with Foo Fighters, The Prodigy, and Richard Ashcroft heading up the bill.
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.
