The 1975 will headline Bushmills Live 2014 in Ireland.
The Manchester band, who have supported the likes of The Rolling Stones and Muse, will perform at the event held at the Old Bushmills whisky distillery.
The festival, previously headlined by Snow Patrol, Jake Bugg and Of Monsters and Men, will see 700 whiskey and music fans descend on the site on June 11 and June 12.
The 1975 frontman Matthew Healy said: "We've never played a show in a distillery before so it's a first for us.
"We've gigged all over the place but to play a festival like this, in a setting as unique as this, will be pretty special."
Matthew and his band mates - Adam Hann, George Daniel and Ross MacDonald - are also embarking on a world tour this year which will see them perform in the likes of Australia, Japan and America.
To celebrate the launch of Bushmills Live 2014, whiskey makers have collaborated with two local artists to craft the world's largest barrel oak headphones, which stand at over 10ft high and will be the centrepiece at the festival with music blasting out from them.
Tickets cannot be bought but instead fans can win them by entering a prize draw at facebook.com/bushmills before Monday, March 17.

Cheryl Cole is working on a new track with Eminem songwriter Jon Bellion.
The 'Call My Name' hitmaker, who has revealed her new album is "almost done", has recorded a hip-hop track co-written by Jon, who helped to pen Eminem and Rihanna's number one hit 'The Monster', and producer Jesse Shatkin confirmed she has also been working on a new ballad.
He said: "It's strong, it's powerful and really from the heart. She loved it. She sounds awesome."
Jesse has worked with huge stars including Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Kylie Minogue and has worked on a number of other songs on Cheryl's fourth studio album, the follow-up to 'A Million Lights' in 2012.
Cheryl was forced to shelve the third single from the record to commit to the Girls Aloud 10th anniversary reunion before taking a break from music when the band split.
She said: "I just took this time and partied and have just been me and normal for the past six months.
"Then I started recording the new album and that's almost done. There's no delay on the album. I've got things in the pipeline."
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old singer revealed that Simon Cowell was "begging" for her to return to 'The X Factor'
She said: "There's only so much begging one can take.
"It's not nice to see a grown man cry, so I finally succumbed."

Lily Allen claims MTV want to ban her music video during the daytime because it promotes anti-social behaviour.
The 'Hard Out Here' singer is seen in the video for her song 'Our Time' drinking from a flask in the back of a taxi before fighting with another version of herself dressed as a hot dog.
Lily revealed the ban on Twitter by posting an email sent to her by her management, along with the caption, "Age of Beige (sic)".
The email read: "MTV want to ban the 'Our Time' video during the daytime, unless they get a clean edit that show you a) NOT DRINKING FROM A FLASK and b) NOT DISPLAYING ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR FROM DRINKING BY FIGHTING WITH THE HOT DOG. I told the label we are NOT making a clean version of the video. Bring on the controversy! (sic)"
Lily then hit back at the channel by writing on Twitter: "I thought MTV just played Catfish and My Super Sweet 16."
Fans were quick to support the 28-year-old star, who is preparing to release her new album 'Sheezus' and one follower wrote: "They're right, hotdog attacks are a real problem nowadays. Don't promote it."
Meanwhile, when she's not fighting to get her music videos on TV, Lily admits she's become addicted to dating app Tinder, despite being married to Sam Cooper, with whom she has Ethel, now two, and Marnie, 14 months.
Lily tweeted: "Just discovered tinder. *Waves goodbye to life* (sic)"

Paloma Faith thinks David Bowie is the last great pop star.
The 'Can't Rely On You' singer reckons pop is dead because of social media and fans know too much about their idols.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "There's no mystery or excitement about being a pop star any more.
"People know everything now, there's no stone unturned with social media."
The 32-year-old star, who has about 460,000 followers on Twitter, praised Bowie for winning the BRIT Award for Best British Male at the ceremony last month.
She said: "It was brilliant that David Bowie won a BRIT Award and totally deserved, he's an incredible artist and the last of a generation."
The singer wishes her fans didn't know as much as they do about her personal life but realises she needs to be active on social media websites to help sell her music.
Paloma continued: "Originally when I got in the music business I wanted to be mysterious but I realised I wouldn't get anywhere so became really open. It's the only way to sell records now."
The star has just released her new album 'A Perfect Contradiction' and revealed the track 'Mouth To Mouth' was inspired by 'Purple Rain' hitmaker Prince.
She said: "I recorded that with Raphael Saadiq after we met at a Prince concert.
"So we honoured that situation by paying Prince his dues in the studio. I was inspired by early Prince and Chaka Khan records, cool late 70s and early 80s soul ... I think we could all do with a bit of dance now."
Paloma will head out on tour in May but is keeping tight-lipped about her upcoming shows.
She added: "I've already started looking into some ideas for the tour, but I don't want to ruin the surprise."

Lil Wayne is recording his 'final solo album'.
The 31-year-old rapper is reportedly planning to retire and only focus on collaborations after his upcoming 11th studio album 'Tha Carter V' drops in May.
He told MTV: "I personally plan on this being my final solo album, yes, and it's definitely the final Carter album. It's the final Carter album. It's stopping at five."
Lil Wayne joked he would only record another solo album for "$25 to $35 million", adding, "I didn't smile when I said it."
The star, who founded record label Young Money Entertainment in 2005, which signed hip-hop stars Drake and Nicki Minaj, has reassured fans he will still work with his artists and collaborate with other stars.
He continued: "I plan on it being my final solo album. Whenever I have to pitch in for a Young Money album, a 'Like Father, Like Son' album and something like that and maybe something out the blue."
But he insists he's working hard on his next record, saying: "It seems like it will be impossible for me to work this hard again for anything else."
Lily Wayne's album 'Tha Carter V' will be released on May 5.

Ashley Roberts says The Pussycat Dolls will be getting back together.
The 32-year-old star and her former group mates have all gone their separate ways since splitting in 2010, but she claims they will "definitely" be reuniting to bring back their hits such as 'Don't Cha' and 'When I Grow Up'.
When asked if there were plans for a reunion, she said: "I don't know, I really don't. Never say never, but I know at the moment we're all on our own paths right now.
"Definitely someday. Not quite yet. It will happen when it's supposed to."
Ashley - who competed on the ITV reality show 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here' in 2012 and has since gone on to judge on 'Dancing on Ice' - claims that although the rest of the dolls, Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton are busy with their own projects at the moment, she's keen to get back to working on music.
She told OK! Magazine: "I'm a music baby, that's the heart and sole of me. I'm going back to my roots."

Skrillex wanted his debut album to be "crazy".
The dubstep producer, real name Sonny Moore, kept details of his record 'Recess' a secret before streaming it in full on his Alien Ride app on Tuesday night (11.02.13) ahead of the official release on March 18.
Skrillex told Rolling Stone magazine the process was about: "Taking my sound and expanding on it, but being more playful, taking it to different places."
The record features a number of cameos, including Chance the Rapper, Diplo and Kid Harpoon and Skrillex insists he has worked hard to make the album cohesive.
He explained: "I call my songs vibescapes ... There's always a foundation under the tracks that you can feel and pick up on. An emotion. There's a lot of organic samples ... wind, breaths, clocks cut into tiny pieces.
"I never made pure club music early on. All the first Skrillex releases were hard to mix into."
He added: "I wanted to make a crazy record [but] I wanted to stay true to who Skrillex is."
Talking about the mysterious app, which was nothing more than a game with a countdown clock, Tim Smith, his longtime manager, said: "That signals that something's coming, but no one knows what it is."
Skrillex, 26, admits he'll probably make less money sreaming his album through the app first but it was "more about the fans."

Pete Wentz is worried British fans won't show up to upcoming Fall Out Boy gigs.
The 34-year-old bassist and band mates Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley, who formed the rock group in 2001, went on hiatus from music in 2009 before reforming last year and Pete is nervous about heading to Britain.
He told Kerrang! magazine: "I'm more worried that this will be the day people don't show up."
The band have been on their Save Rock and Roll tour since last year and are preparing to bring the show to the UK later this month.
He continued: "[The UK fans] have always been such a big supporter of our band. Probably the biggest of any place in the world."
But Pete admits it hasn't all been smooth sailing when it comes to the tour's set.
He explained: "We have a sheet that covers the set, and there have been nights when it hasn't fallen down right.
"We also have a small stage [at the back of the venue] that we run to, and we often get stuck at locked doors or go the wrong way, because the venue is a maze."
The band head to the UK on Saturday (15.03.14) and will perform in London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Dublin, Newcastle and Glasgow.

Pharrell Williams, Alicia Keys and Kendrick Lamar have collaborated on a new song.
The 'Happy' hitmaker has produced a new track, 'It's On Again', which features Alicia and Kendrick and will appear on the soundtrack for upcoming superhero action movie, 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'.
Acclaimed Hollywood score composer Hans Zimmer is overseeing the project and has worked with the talented trio on the song.
Alicia said: "I'm very excited to be a part of such a powerful collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer.
"This is the next chapter in the 'Spider-Man' legacy and we really feel 'It's On Again' captures the experience, the story - and most importantly - the meaning behind the film, which is that we all have the potential to be extraordinary. There's a little bit of a super hero in all of us."
'No One' singer Alicia provides the main vocals on the track, but Grammy-nominated rapper Kendrick is heard in one of the verses.
Pharrell gushed about his collaborators, saying: "Hans has created an iconic score theme and it was exciting to collaborate with him again on this song. When I was making the song, I knew Alicia and Kendrick had to be on it. They take the song to a whole new level."
The singer-and-producer was recently nominated for an Oscar for his last soundtrack song, 'Happy', which appeared in 'Despicable Me 2'.
In addition to 'It's On Again', Pharrell, 40, also enlisted Alicia for 'Know Who You Are', taken from his just-released second studio album, 'G I R L'.
