Pete Shelley, lead singer and one of the founder members of Buzzcocks, said, "Playing at Coventry’s Godiva Festival in the summer gives our fans a great opportunity to hear a couple of new songs from our forthcoming album plus of course some of the older songs that people will know and want to hear us play live.

"It’s great that we’re also going to be playing alongside The Selecter again as well, so we’re all looking forward to meeting up and seeing everyone in Coventry this July."

They join Saturday main stage headliners Happy Mondays, and Skabilly Rebels, who will be performing in the Rhythm Tent on Saturday night. They are the first acts to be revealed for this year's line-up.
