The Smashing Pumpkins, Bjork, The Killers and 30 other artists have been added to Toronto's Virgin Fest lineup.
The event, to be held on Toronto Island Sept. 8th and 9th, will also see performances by headliners Interpol, Paolo Nutini, Amy Winehouse, Tokyo Police Club and Jamie T.
The announcement arrives in the wake of Virgin Chairman Sir Richard Branson's stunt at Yonge and Dundas Square where he broke free from a suspended cage and rappelled down a rope.
The festival, which began 12 years ago in the U.K., holds a variety of attractions as well as live musical performances.
The only other Canadian stop for the festival is Vancouver's Thunderbird stadium May 20 and 21. Already lined up for that show are My Chemical Romance, Billy Talent, Muse, The Killers, AFI and Hot Hot Heat.
