Metronomy are among the fresh wave of acts announced to play at Wide Awake this summer.

Now, the art-pop stalwarts lead the new additions, following the release of their sixth album Metronomy Forever in September last year.

Genre-weaving septet Black Country, New Road also join the bill, as do innovative post-punk band Squid and Belgian-based artist Charlotte Adigéry.

The Murder Capital, BEAK>, A Certain Ratio, Automatic and others are among the latest confirmations.

Wide Awake has launched on a promise of eclecticism, with the line-up ranging from left-field rock to experimental techno. It is being run by the people behind early editions of Field Day and LNZRT, who also have a hand in the programming at small London venues MOTH Club, Shacklewell Arms, The Waiting Room and Peckham Audio.
