Morrissey will headline the second night of the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park on July 4th.
In a statement, the singer said that he was “honoured” to be following the prestigious acts who had played in the park in London.
He also said that it was the perfect way to mark his “26th year haunting British music”.
“I promise a thundering bill of tight nerves and suavity and all your favourites from Disc magazine,” he added.
“I will take Hyde Park like a flea inhabits a dog. Art-hounds and people with badly cut hair are very welcome.”
As previously reported, Fatboy Slim and Counting Crows will headline the third and fourth nights of the event respectively.
Tickets for the festival, which runs from July 3rd-6th, go on sale on Friday (March 28th) at 9am and will be available through Gigwise.
