Gaz Coombes will join Field Day headliners Ride and Patti Smith at the festival on Sunday, organisers have confirmed.

The former Supergrass frontman will perform material from his new solo album Matador, as well as his older hits.

Coombes will join already confirmed headline acts Ride and Patti Smith, as well as Canadian singer-songwriter Mac DeMarco, American rock band DIIV, post-punk band Savages and psychedelic band Hookworms at the London Fields site on Sunday 7 June.

Confirmed acts for the Saturday include Mercury Prize nominee FKA twigs, who will play alongside hip hop super dup Run the Jewels, and electronic music producer Hudson Mohawke.

Radiohead’s drummer Philip Selway also joins the Saturday line-up, including Norwegian comic disco producer Todd Terje and his band The Olsens, New England's Tune-Yards and US electro duo Sylvan Esso.

More acts for the two-day music festival are due to be announced soon.

Field Day will be held in Victoria Park in Hackney on 6-7 June. Tickets are on sale now (www.fielddayfestivals.com). Early-bird weekend tickets cost £78.
