Peter Andre, Alan Carr, Jo Brand and Example have all been confirmed for this year's Manx Telecom Bay Festival.
Part of the line up has now been released for the festival which takes place in the Valhalla Tent at Noble's Park between June 17 and June 19.
The festival has seen some changes from last year's event including the introduction of a comedy set.
"Comedy in the Park", on the Friday night, will feature top UK comedians Alan Carr, Jo Brand, and Andy Parsons as well as a support band that is yet to be confirmed. Tickets start at £22.50.
Saturday afternoon will see a performance of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance - one of the biggest dance shows in the world. Tickets start at £22.50.
On the Saturday night the Valhalla tent will come alive for a Ministry of Sound set which will see classic dance hits and world class sound and lighting. The headline act for the Saturday night is yet to be announced. Tickets start at £45.
Peter Andre will headline the "Britain's Got Talent meets the X-Factor" set on Sunday, June 19, which will see a host of acts from both shows perform. Tickets start at £22.50.
Musician Example will also be playing on the Sunday night. The singer terms his music as "dysfunctional electro-pop". Tickets start at £45.
This year there will be a second outdoor stage which will be used to host a Battle of the Bands competition which will showcase up and coming acts in the categories rock, indie, pop, urban and DJ.
The winner of this will receive at least a one-record deal and exposure to some of the UK's top amateur bands.
Ticket holders will also get to see the best aerial stunt act in Europe – The Vander Space Wheel – jaw dropping fire stunts from Joseph Peace, a festival circus and a chainsaw sculptor.
Chris Hall, managing director for Manx Telecom, said: "The festival is a truly magnificent event for the Island and we're incredibly proud to be headline sponsor once again next year. We loved every minute of the 2010 event and can’t wait for what is already shaping up to be an outstanding weekend of entertainment."
HMV has been confirmed as the official ticket seller for 2011 and voice of the X-Factor Peter Dickson is this year's official spokesperson.
Peter Dickson said: "Valhalla has already received a significant amount of publicity with the Elton John concert selling out within 46 minutes. This is a tremendous boost for the festival and the line up of acts already confirmed could not have provided a better follow up to this sell-out concert."
Tickets for the festival will go on sale on December 6 at 8am from the Manx Telecom Bay Festival website - www.bayfestival.im. A weekend pass giving access to all acts costs £125.
