Big Boy Bloater, Here & Now, The Men They Couldn't Hang and 3 Bonzos & A Piano will also appar alongside Eddie & The Hot Rods, Damh The Bard, Cherry Lee Mewis Band and Leatherat. 

Lucy Zirins, King Hammond and Mitch Laddie Band will join the likes of Hawkwind, The Damned, Ken Boothe, The Slackers and Wilko Johnson will have already been confirmed for the Bedfordshire event, which will take place at Mansion House, Old Warden Park from 24-26 August.

Organisers are billing it as “three festivals in one”: Rhythm Festival, Rhythm Folk and Rhythm And Blues.

A statement reads: “All three festivals will operate simultaneously over the August Bank Holiday Weekend in different parts of the same 500 acre site, with some shared facilities (children's entertainment; camping, toilets and showers; certain bars and entertainment) plus unique, specialist stuff in the Folk and Blues Fields. A "Land Train" is being booked to ferry people around.”

Festival Director Jim Driver said: "This really is an exciting an innovative idea. Rhythm Festival Pass holders will have access to the whole site - much more than before - but if people want to spend less and just visit a Folk or a Blues Festival, they have the option. Rhythm Folk and Rhythm & Blues will be self-contained weekend events in their own right."

Early bird Rhythm Festivals tickets are on sale now priced at £99 for the weekend.
