The group – known for their hits “Mr. Brightside” and “All These Things That I’ve Done” – will headline the third night of the event at the Garrison Grounds on June 29.

Indie pop band Alvvays, electro-pop artist Lights and indie rockers Said The Whale will also take the stage.

The Glorious Sons, Big Wreck and Tenille Townes will also perform the opening night.

Musical acts for night two of the festival have yet to be announced.
