Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson has been announced as the first headliner at this year's Hop Farm Festival.

The festival, which was cancelled last year after poor ticket sales, is returning in 2014 under new promoters.

It will be Wilson's only UK appearance this year. No other artists have been revealed yet, but the full line-up is set to be announced on March 7.

This year's festival will have a capacity of 20,000.

Promoter Vince Power, who previously ran the Hop Farm Festival and attracted headliners including Prince and Bob Dylan, is to stage a new event in the Tunbridge Wells area.

The new-look Hop Farm Festival takes place at the Paddock Wood site on July 4 and 5.

The announcement of Wilson as headliner indicates it will be a more mainstream festival than last year's aborted event, which was due to have seen My Bloody Valentine and Rodriguez top the bill.
