Barnett, who’s up for Best New Artist at the Grammys in two weeks, is coming off a breakthrough year that included Austin appearances at South By Southwest, where she won the festival’s Grulke Prize for Developing Non-U.S. Act, and a taping of “Austin City Limits.” In 2014, she was a major hit at Fun Fun Fun Fest.

Other acts added include ’90s oddball rockers Ween; the Arcs, a side-project band of Black Keys mastermind Dan Auerbach; David J & the Gentleman Thieves, featuring the former member of Love & Rockets and Bauhaus; and ethereal French pop act Melody’s Echo Chamber. Notable local additions include Golden Dawn Arkestra, Roger Sellers’ Bayonne and Christian Bland & the Revelators. The handful of new names supplement the longer list of previously announced performers, including Brian Wilson, Animal Collective, Lee Scratch Perry and fest hosts the Black Angels.
