The 27th staging of the World Grand Prix will see reigning champion Luke Humphries headlining a star-studded 32-player field, which also includes six-time champion Michael van Gerwen.
Teenage sensation Luke Littler will also make his double-start debut in the £600,000 event, which will take place from October 7-13.
Humphries will return to the scene of his maiden televised ranking triumph in the East Midlands, having defeated Gerwyn Price in a memorable final 12 months ago.
The 29-year-old has since enjoyed a sustained spell of dominance – lifting five televised titles, including the World Darts Championship and World Matchplay – to underline his status as the sport’s premier player.
The world number one will begin his title defence on Monday’s opening night with a blockbuster clash against Masters champion Stephen Bunting, a two-time World Grand Prix semi-finalist.
