The music extravaganza will take place over the weekend of August 31 to September 3 at Beal Farm, overlooking Holy Island.
Conleth Maenpaa, founder of the Lindisfarne Festival, said: “Primal Scream are a band we’ve had in our sights for a long time, so it’s a real thrill to be able to unveil them at the top of our Friday night bill for this year’s Festival.
“They’re a perfect fit for Lindisfarne and are renowned all over the world for their live shows. We know it’s going to be unforgettable and can’t wait to see them rocking the main stage.”
Joining Primal Scream on the first roster of names unveiled for the eighth festival are British Dub stars Gentleman’s Dub Club, folk music queen Kathryn Tickell and the Darkening, The Cuban Brothers, Dutty Moonshine Big Band, Altern-8, The Lancashire Hotpots, The Bootleg Beetles, The Undercover Hippy and The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican.
