Clap Your Hands also set for Treasure Island

Modest Mouse, MIA, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Spoon will headline the inaugural Treasure Island Music Festival this summer.

The event takes place September 15-16 on Treasure Island in the middle of California's picturesque San Francisco Bay.

Also on the bill are Built To Spill, DJ Shadow, Thievery Corporation and M Ward.

Treasure Island is put on by the same group that organises the annual Noise Pop Festival, and will feature exhibits by local artists as well as information about environmental initiatives.

Tickets go on sale June 24. For further information, visit Treasureislandfestival.com.
