Three of the biggest names from the bass-heavy electro genre were confirmed today for the festival as part of its 2011 line-up.

The dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man, featuring producers Skream, Benga and Artwork, will play a headlining role during Parklife's five dates through September and October.

Long-time collaborator Katy B will likely join the group as well as perform in solo guise, while dubstep pioneer Nero will be joined by DJ/MC duo Joker and MC Nomad.

Example, the London rapper who has teamed up with Skream for his latest single Shot Yourself in the Foot
Again, will play his debut show, as will one-man dubstep phenomenon Flux Pavilion.

For more traditional music fans there will be more to Parklife than unfamiliar shuffling beats and stomach-shaking bass lines.

The Streets, another voice born from the UK's underground music scene, will be heading Down Under.

A vehicle for the songwriting talents of frontman Mike Skinner, the rap-garage act is calling it a day after ten years.

Other headliners set for Parklife are Swedish alt-pop chanteuse Lykke Li, UK electro duo Simian Mobile Disco and US post-punk trio The Gossip.

Santigold, Little Dragon and Death From Above 1979 should provide further live highlights, while DJs will include Mylo, Duck Sauce, MSTRKRFT and Diplo.

Parklife will be held in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide from September 24 to October 3.
