Pink Floyd's Roger Waters has announced his first live appearance in two years, as he is scheduled to perform at this year's Newport Folk Festival.

The Pink Floyd co-founder will headline the event, which is his first performance at the festival.

Waters' last live show was in September 2013.

This year's Newport Folk Festival will also mark the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan's famous "going electric" controversy, which took place at the same event in 1965.

The Newport Folk Festival runs from July 24-26 in Fort Adams State Park, Rhode Island.

Pink Floyd released The Endless River last November - it became the band's first number one album since 1995.
