The Vancouver Folk Festival has announced the line-up for this year's 32nd annual event, which will feature an array of beloved folk-leaning artists from both Canada and abroad.

As far as the international talent goes, Sub Pop beardo Iron and Wine will play the fest, as will soul legend Mavis Staples, Scottish duo the Proclaimers and hip-hoppers Arrested Development.
