This is not a joke: Riverbend officials have announced the final performers for the upcoming festival, and the additions should please nearly every music fan.

Grammy Award winner Ludacris will perform on the Coke stage June 10. Known for his songs “Move Bitch,” “What’s Your Fantasy” and “Roll Out,” the performer “carries an unrivaled match of lyrical acumen, wit and imagery,” according to a release from the festival. His performance will begin at 9:30 p.m.

Music doesn’t get more experimental and weird than The Flaming Lips, who will perform on the final night of the festival June 17. The band is known for infectious, lush and bizarre songs such as “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Part 1” and “Do You Realise?” The band will perform at 9:30 p.m. on the Coke stage.
