Britpop giants Pulp are to headline the 2023 Latitude festival as the band reforms and plays live for the first time in a decade.
The festival will take place at Henham Park, Suffolk, from 20 to 23 July.
Other headliners will be Paolo Nutini and George Ezra, while other confirmed acts include The Kooks and The Lightning Seeds.
Pulp, who hinted at a reunion earlier this year, will also play two shows in their native Sheffield.
Latitude organisers said the band headline the festival on the Friday night in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their album This Is Hardcore.
On Facebook, lead singer Jarvis Cocker said: "Three months ago, Pulp asked, 'What exactly do you do for an encore?' Well… an encore happens when the crowd makes enough noise to bring the band back to the stage. So… Pulp are playing in the UK and Ireland in 2023. Therefore… come along & make some noise. See you there."
Jarvis has already appeared at Latitude as a solo performer on the main stage, and as a late-night DJ.
Ahead of Latitude, Pulp will play at venues including Bridlington Spa in East Yorkshire, London's Finsbury Park, Cardiff International Arena and Sheffield Utilita Arena.

Pulp last performed in 2012 with 12,000 people attending a one-off concert, almost 35 years after the band formed.
The band, best known for hits including Disco 2000, Common People and Babies, formed in 1978.
This year's Latitude will be the 17th edition of the festival, which started in 2006.
The Kooks said: "Truly excited to be performing at Latitude for the very first time next year and can't wait to see you all there."
Also joining the bill are ex-Beautiful South members Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, Sophie-Ellis Bextor, Black Midi, Young Fathers The Beths, The Big Moon and The Dinner Party.
Organisers said a "stunning bill of world-class dance, cultural visionaries, poets, podcasters, and performance artists" would be announced in due course.
