The singers are to perform on the poolside Rocks stage for the series' 10th birthday party as part of the 14-week event, which will also host performances from the likes of Fatboy Slim and Clean Bandit.

Carl Barat of The Libertines commented: "Ibiza Rocks is one of the greatest gigs there is. The strange and debauched energy of the place never fails to provide the perfect backdrop for bacchanalian reverie of the highest order. Everyone there is gonna be 'mad for it', I can't wait. One of those nights actually worth the b*****d hangover. Bring it."

Also featuring Pete Doherty, John Hassall and Gary Powell, the band are to make their debut performance at the event on July 22.

Andy McKay, Founder and CEO of the Ibiza Rocks Group said: "The ultimate defining moment of Rocks was when we discovered that our future lay outdoors and that was the night Babyshambles played Bar M. It was the moment we found our time slot before midnight and the moment we discovered the energy created by a live band playing under the stars in Ibiza."

As well as these rockers, BBC Sound of 2015 poll winners Years & Years will perform as well as The Courteeners, Sigma, Shura and Mercury Prize nominees Jungle.

MTV will broadcast the shows for the third year running, also providing exclusive content such as interviews, live performances and highlights, with Laura Whitmore hosting the series of shows.
