Blenheim Palace has announced "iconic" rock musician Neil Young will be the fourth headliner for its new summer music festival.

Taking place over five days in June and July, the event will also feature Katy Perry, Teddy Swims and Pete Tong on the stately home grounds in Oxfordshire.

The palace said Young and his band The Chrome Hearts would bring their Love Earth World Tour to the UNESCO Heritage World Site on 3 July, with special guest Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton.

Young, who headlined Glastonbury earlier this year, is known classics like his number one hit single Heart of Gold.

Blenheim Palace said the festival was promising "a truly unforgettable" experience in the summer and added there was one more headliner yet to be revealed.

Tickets go on sale from 28 November.
