Four years of chasing one act has finally paid off for Electric Avenue's boss.

American rockers Kings of Leon and Scottish DJ Calvin Harris will headline the two-day festival in Christchurch's Hagley Park next February.

Festival director Callam Mitchell says he's most looking forward to the two headliners, as well as British electronic group Underworld - who he's spent years trying to book.

"I used to DJ a lot in the 90s and early 2000s, and there are a couple of Underworld records that didn't leave my record bin for years - so it's been a pet project of mine."
