Hip-hop group Arrested Development have been added to the full, confirmed line-up for New Plymouth's Womad festival, set to be held in March next year.
The Atlanta-based band (pictured above), known for their hits Tennessee and Mr Wendel, join previously announced acts Kimbra, Buika and Pokey LaFarge for the festival's 10th anniversary, on from March 14 to 16 at one of the best concert venues in the country, the TSB Bowl of Brooklands.
The full line-up for the festival's seven stages was confirmed overnight and is typically eclectic, from the sample-based turntable skills of Brit DJ Yoda, to Breabach, a Scottish folk band that includes two bagpipers in its line-up.
Along with Kimbra's soaring pop, Arrested Development are likely to draw a large crowd to the venue's main stage, a grassed arena in which the stage is surrounded by water.
Their debut album 3 Years, 5 Months and Two Days in the Life, sold four million copies thanks to their catchy, sing-along singles, but the band's "spiritual guru" Baba Oje won't be making the trip after suffering a stroke.
