Citadel Festival has announced more of its brilliant line-up for 2016, including co-headliner Caribou, as well as Lianne La Havas, Cat's Eyes and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats.

The one day festival - which takes place at London's Victoria Park in July - only began last year, when it hosted the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club, Kurt Vile and Anna Calvi.

Now, as it heads into its second year, it's stepped things up a notch with London exclusives from both Sigur Ros and, as revealed in this morning's announcement, Caribou.

The festival will also host Susanne Sundfor, Matt Corby, Billie Marten, Lianne La Havas and Cat's Eyes (the Horrors' Faris Badwan's side-project with soprano Rachel Zeffira - if you haven't seen Duke Of Burgundy, check out its brilliant soundtrack immediately).

Elsewhere on the line-up is Tinariwen, GoGo Penguin and Submotion Orchestra, whilst there'll also be a Sunday Sports Day, comedy, debates, yoga and a roller disco. What more could you ask for?
