The band earned Brit Awards, Ivor Novellos and Grammys. They made history as the first Irish band to have a UK no 1 hit with Rat Trap.
Bob Geldof said: "It's a beautiful part of the world. Billy Bragg is a hero. The Rats are a great band. It will be a pleasure to do the Rat in Devon again." Simon Ford from Chagstock Festival added: "They are a classic band with a string of memorable hits. Combined with Billy Bragg's performance immediately before the Boomtown Rats, Chagstock 2013 is shaping up to be our best line up ever — and we still have a number of major artists to announce."
