The indie-folkers will visit Northern Ireland's North Coast in June to top the bill at Bushmills Live 2013.
Icelandic five-piece Of Monsters and Men will return to Ireland to headline the two day Bushmills Live festival taking place on June 19-20.
Only 500 tickets are available for the festival, which will see both iconic and emerging artists share the stage for a series of intimate gigs in age-old buildings at the historic Old Bushmills Distillery.
These tickets can be won by entering a draw on the Bushmills Irish Whiskey Facebook page. Entries to the draw will open this Sunday, St Patrick’s Day at 16:08 GMT.
Of Monsters And Men will join an impressive list of previous acts to play at The Old Bushmills Distillery including Snow Patrol, singer-songwriters Foy Vance and Iain Archer, Elijah Wood, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Marcus Foster, The Staves, General Fiasco and David C. Clements, who all performed at Bushmills Live last year.

Of Monsters and Men, said, “Playing a show in such a unique location, around the centuries-old warehouses and whiskey barrels, to such an intimate audience, is an experience we are very excited about. It’s going to make our first gig in Northern Ireland a memorable one, and not just for us, for the fans too, we hope!"
We can expect more line-up announcements in the coming weeks, so be sure to keep an eye on Hotpress.com for those.
