This year’s End of the Road line-up has been revealed, with Vampire Weekend topping the bill alongside St. Vincent, Feist, and Yo La Tengo.

The Wiltshire-based festival marks Vampire Weekend’s first show in four years and will be their only UK appearance this year.

During their break from touring, multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij quit the band, while lead singer Ezra Koenig, along with bandmates Chris Tomson and Chris Baio have continued to work on their follow-up to 2013’s Modern Vampires of the City.

Canadian songwriter Feist will also make a UK exclusive appearance at End of the Road. Meanwhile, headliner St. Vincent received critical acclaim last year with the album Masseduction, and Yo La Tengo are due to release a new record later this year.

Other performers at the festival include Ezra Furman, Fat White Family, Gruff Rhys, and Ariel Pink, with more acts due to be announced. See the poster below.
