Jack Johnson and Ben Howard will headline the inaugural Somersault Festival.
The event, which will take over Castle Hill estate in north Devon between July 17 and 21, promises a "five-day summer camp of music, adventure and outdoor living".
Johnson, who will be playing his only UK festival set, said:
"I love the UK. I love surfing. So playing a show in the south west is the perfect situation. Somersault sounds like the perfect festival."
The festival's organisers, Tim Harvey and John Empson, added:
"We wanted to offer a completely new kind of summer festival experience – a five day summer camp that allows people to break out into the surrounding landscape and no longer be hemmed in to one event site.
It's been a painstaking planning process but we are delighted to announce two world-class headliners in our inaugural year both of whom supported the concept right from the start. There's an amazing line-up of support artists still to announce and we can't wait to see the theatre, food and arts programme unfold over the next few months."
Day tickets are now available at a 'super early bird' price of £39.50 plus fees, with weekend passes starting at £99.50. The festival's organisers have also confirmed Surfers Against Sewage as their nominated charity.
