The Strokes, Vampire Weekend and Jack White have all been announced as headliners alongside Outkast as this year's Governors Ball music festival. 

Not only that, but Damon Albarn, Disclosure, Skrillex, Phoenix, Tyler, the Creator, La Roux, Earl Sweatshirt, Kurt Vile, Deafheaven, Jenny Lewis, Interpol, TV on the Radio, Julian Casablancas, the Kills, Grimes, James Blake, Broken Bells, Neko Case, Spoon, Janelle Monáe, Washed Out, Chance the Rapper, AlunaGeorge, Frank Turner and Run the Jewel are also included in the full line-up.

The news marks The Strokes' return to playing live, having refused to tour their 2013 album Comedown Machine and denying that they had any future plans. The date counts towards one of previously announced headliners Outkast 40 festivals that they've promised to play this summer.

Glastonbury is rumoured for Big Boi and Andre 3000. With the Governors Ball just a few short weeks before Glasto, can we hope to see The Strokes and Jack White there too? 

The Governors Ball takes place at Randall Island in the US from June 6-8 2014. For more infromation visit Gigwise gig tickets
