In confirming Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Paolo Nutini among the headline acts, organisers threw a curve ball in including Neville on its poster for the event from August 1-4.
Neville will share a DJ set with The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess at Lowther Deer Park in Cumbria as the ex-England defender continues to develop his interests outside of football.
The 48-year-old remains ensconced in the game through a regular punditry and commentary role with Sky Sports but last week appeared on BBC business show Dragons Den as a guest on the panel.
Neville has built a portfolio of business interests including a hotel and other property developments since his playing retirement and will now look forward to an appearance on the decks this summer.
Burgess told the BBC: “I’m very excited about the prospect of DJing with Gary – he’s got great taste in music.
“The last time we shared a stage was when he joined The Charlatans on guitar.
“I can’t promise we’ll be doing any songs together but there might be an impromptu singalong at some point.”
