Banksy is planning an exhibition event series at a derelict seafront lido in Weston-super-Mare - and Run The Jewels, Kate Tempest, Savages and Massive Attack are all set to perform.
Titled Dismaland, the series will take over the Tropicana for six weeks, and has been speculated upon since a strange castle sculpture made from tanker trucks appeared on the site.
"I loved the Tropicana as a kid," said the elusive graffiti artist, "so getting to throw these doors open again is a real honour."
Now, the website has revealed the incredible weekly line-up for the event. Highlights include Run The Jewels on 4 September, Sleaford Mods and Savages (They're actually billed as The Savages, but we assume that was an accident) on 18 September, and Kate Tempest, Pussy Riot and Massive Attack on 25 September.

Speaking of Dismaland, Nigel Ashton, leader of North Somerset Council, told BBC News, "We have been working closely with the organisers for months now, and for obvious reasons, have had to remain tight-lipped about the true nature of the event. In fact, only four people in the entire council knew what was really happening."
Tickets to the exhibition will reportedly cost just £3, but it's currently unclear whether that includes access to the evening gigs, or just the daytime exhibition itself.
