Elsewhere are the likes of Shame, Nova Twins, The Mission, Amy McDonald and Peter Hook And The Light. Organisers promise that “many more” acts will join the line-up in the coming months.

Placebo, who are billed as a UK exclusive, will give the Spring Gathering crowd a “‘tantalising taste of some brand-new material”. Last month the band returned with their first single in five years, ‘Beautiful James’.

Spring Gathering new additions Working Men’s Club, meanwhile, recently revealed that they had finished their second album.

“Can’t wait to release new music. The 2nd album is done,” wrote frontman Sydney Minsky-Sargeant. “Me and Ross [Orton, producer] have worked tirelessly together on it this past year and I’m really proud of the outcome.”
