Life Is Beautiful unveiled the music lineup for its fourth edition today, and it includes some infrequent Las Vegas visitors.

Folky U.K. rock band Mumford & Sons, listed at the top of the 78-act poster for the September 23-25 Downtown gathering, hasn’t played here since a 2011 show at the Cosmopolitan’s Boulevard Pool. The last Vegas appearance by indie-pop outfit The Shins came at the same venue, in 2012. And LIB will mark the first Vegas performance by Denver folk-rockers The Lumineers.

Other notables on the Life Is Beautiful lineup include synth-pop duo Crystal Castles, jazzman Kamasi Washington, indie-rock foursome Warpaint and hip-hop project Die Antwoord.

Along with Mumford, The Lumineers and The Shins, the largest font-size on the poster belongs to J. Cole, Major Lazer, G-Eazy, Flume, Jane’s Addiction and Bassnectar. The Las Vegas scene is represented on the bill by The Lique and Brumby.

Tickets to the festival go on sale Friday, May 20 at 10 a.m. at lifeisbeautiful.com. Three-day passes will sell for $285, with VIP passes available for $655.
