The Libertines will be headlining Wheels & Fins Festival this summer.
The rock band, fronted by Carl Barât and Pete Doherty, will also be curating the line-up for the festival at Joss Bay Beach in Broadstairs for a day.
They will be performing on the main stage on Sunday, September 9.
No acts have been revealed as yet but, announcing the news on Twitter, the band said they were "dead excited" and would be "inviting a load of incredible artists to come and play throughout the day."
The band's fourth studio album is also scheduled to be released this summer.
They recently purchased a 20-room townhouse in Cliftonville which has now become a new recording studio, the Albion Rooms.
In addition to Wheels & Fins, the Libertines will also be playing at Y Not, Kendall Calling and Victorious Festival this summer.
