Prince to play Hop Farm Festival 2011

The event, which now takes place from July 1-3, will also mark Prince's first UK show in four years.

Organiser Vince Power said: "I am really excited about having Prince at the Hop Farm, we have worked hard to get the third day up and running and we hope that fans will appreciate the integrity of the bill and see it’s one of the most musically exciting this year that stands head and shoulders above a lot of other festivals."

Prince is confirmed to perform at the Open'er festival in Gdynia, Poland on the day before his Hop Farm appearance.
