Mazzy Star have been announced for next summer's Field Day, which has moved dates next year because of the London 2012 Olympics.

The very first UK performance by the reunited band will be as the headline act on the Village Mentality Stage at Field Day 2012. Other new additions to the bill are Grimes, Death Grips, The Men, Zomby, Theme Park, and Spector.

They join the previously confirmed headliners Franz Ferdinand as well as The Vaccines, AfroCubism, Metronomy, Errors, Andrew Bird, Baxter Dury, Beirut, Gold Panda, Here We Go Magic, SBTRKT, Fennesz, Outfit, Maya Jane Coles, Papa M, R. Stevie Moore, Revere, Rocketnumbernine, Rustie, Tortoise, Zulu Winter, Julio Bashmore, and Hudson Mohawke.

Field Day will be providing ample entertainment for those looking for respite from the music in the Village Mentality area on The Village Green. Expect traditional side stalls inspired by country pastimes and weird and wonderful fete games such as Blindfold Sweetcorn Husking Championship, Scone Throwing, Vegetable Discus and Human Wheelbarrow.

Hosted by forward-thinking promoters Eat Your Own Ears, Bugged Out!, Bleed and Lanzarote, Field Day is held in Victoria Park, London on Saturday 2nd June 2012. This event is over 18s only.

Early bird adult tickets are priced at £39.50, and are on sale for a very limited time online. To buy tickets, click here.
