Wild Beasts and Bombay Bicycle Club have agreed to perform when the first ever Fly Awards takes place at the London Forum on February 6th.

They add to previously confirmed attendees The Horrors, Thurston Moore and Peace; The Horrors are set to pick up the Outstanding Artistry award while Sonic Youth‘s Thurston Moore is to be honoured with the Living Legend prize.

“We are proud that The Horrors will be receiving the Outstanding Artistry Award in our name at 2014′s The Fly Awards,” Ben Knowles, director of fundraising at War Child has said – The Horrors’ prize will be presented in association with the charity.

“A band whose thrillingly uncompromising live shows, three incredible albums and refusal to conform to trends has marked them as an individual talent and seen them inspire devotion among their growing legion of fans. The award is deserved recognition.”
