Paul Weller and The Pigeon Detectives are headlining this year's Hop Farm Festival.

The former Jam frontman and the British rock band will be joined at July's weekend event by 'Munich' hitmakers Editors, electro duo 2ManyDJs, Echo and the Bunnymen and BRIT award winner Florence and the Machine.

Branded as the "festival for festival-goers", the unsponsored event boasts "boutique" camping facilities for the first time this year.

Organiser Vince Power said: After some delay due to our licensing issues, we have managed to get a great line up off the ground in time for 2009, with an expected audience of 20,000

Organiser Vince Power said: "After some delay due to our licensing issues, we have managed to get a great line up off the ground in time for 2009, with an expected audience of 20,000.  I'm very pleased with the bands, over 70 across the weekend, and £125 for a weekend ticket inc camping and car parking, making this the best value festival ticket this year.  I'm looking forward to the weekend in July"

Other acts confirmed for the Saturday - which sees Pigeon Detectives headline - include Noah and the Whale and Howling Bells.

Meanwhile Sunday will see Doves, Super Furry Animals, Mystery Jets, Ladyhawke, The Rifles and Scratch Perverts play before Paul Weller closes the show.

Hop Farm Festival will be held on the July 4 and 5 at Hop Farm, Paddock Wood, Kent

Also this week,  The Charlatans, Just Jack and Mystery Jets have been added to the line up for next month's Great Escape festival in Brighton.

VV Brown and The Holloways have confirmed the Secret Garden party festival, and White Lies are the latest addition to the Roskilde festival in Denmark - which will be headlined by Oasis and Coldplay in July.
