His varied set will draw on his passion for leftfield and experimental music and will feature in the Hybrid Vigour event at Millennium Gallery, curated by Sheffield experimental band Blood Sport.

It will also feature Bafta-nominated composer Mica Levi, amongst others.

Snooker stars are in much demand at Sheffield festivals this year - Ronnie O'Sullivan, will discuss his favourite inspirational documentaries at Doc/Fest.

The latest genre-spanning additions to Tramlines range from American alt-rock outfit The Dandy Warhols to the spell-binding Public Service Broadcasting, and from former Long Blondes frontwoman Kate Jackson to larger-than-life MC Big Narstie.

Tramlines, celebrating its eight year, is expecting to welcome 100,000 music fans to the city, to discover internationally-acclaimed artists alongside up-and-coming talent - with weekend passes from £42 plus booking fee.

Joining the bill on the 17,500 capacity Main Stage are US rock band The Dandy Warhols, whose 10-album career, appearance in cult documentary Dig! and anthems including Bohemian Like You and We Used To Be Friends have earned them a loyal following over their decade-long career.

Also on the Main Stage will be Public Service Broadcasting, who return for their second Tramlines, having garnered huge critical acclaim for their innovative live AV transmissions, which weave vintage public information film samples around live drums and electronica.

Kate Jackson joins the bill on the newly-expanded, 7,000-capacity Devonshire Green stage. Best known as lead singer for The Long Blondes, she will perform tracks from her debut solo album British Road Movies, written in collaboration with Suede’s Bernard Butler

Tramlines is well known for its impressive bill of breaking artists.
