New York Dolls, We Are Scientists and The Black Lips are among the bands scheduled to play the 2007 Siren Festival at Coney Island.

Matt and Kim, Dr. Dog, Detroit Cobras and Elvis Perkins are among the other acts confirmed in the initial line-up revealed today by The Village Voice.

The one-day festival takes place in the shadow of Coney Island’s famous Cyclone rollercoaster at the Astroland amusement park on the boardwalk.

The line-up is:

New York Dolls
We Are Scientists
Matt And Kim
The Black Lips
