The punk legend is the final act to be announced for the festival, which takes place at Larmer Tree Gardens in Wiltshire from August 31 – September 2 and will be headlined by Grandaddy, Midlake and with a co-headline effort from Grizzly Bear and Tindersticks.

Of Smith’s addition to the line-up, the festival’s directors have said: “We have been huge fans of Patti Smith’s work for many years and to have her finally play our festival is frankly surreal and a real honour. There are few musicians whose names alone can evoke such a vast array of images, sounds and stories as Patti Smith’s”.
