Flying Lotus will join Aphex Twin on the bill for Field Day 2017, which comes to London's Victoria Park on Saturday 3rd June.

The mind melting producer dropped his last album You're Dead! back in 2014, where he channeled psychedelic hip hop symphonies with the help of Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar (below) and more.

The Brainfeeder head guy is joined by Nicolas Jaar, on the back of releasing his extraordinary LP Sirens. Death Grips bring some fang-glaring intensity; Nina Kraviz slams down some techno.

A snapshot of additions sees King Sunny Ade, Jon Hopkins, Whitney, Moodymann, Moderat, King Gizzard, Julia Jacklin, Kevin Morby, Slowdive, Mura Masa take to the fold.

There's a huge dance contingent also hooked in: Midland, Hunee, Joe Jobse, Marcel Dettman, Lena Willikens and Fatima Yamaha get behind the decks.

FlyLo's inclusion on the Field Day 2017 line up follows the news that he will appear alongside the likes Frank Ocean and The XX at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. Fans are expectant of new music by the time festival season swings around.
