A host of new names have been added to this year’s Isle Of Wight festival, which will be headlined by Fleetwood Mac, The Prodigy and The Black Keys.
Amongst those swelling the bill are James, The Courteeners and Ash, while The View, Imelda May, Paul Oakenfold, Foxes, The Lightning Seeds, Geno Washington & the Ram Jam Band, Ali Campbell, Ian Anderson, Billy Idol, Kodaline, Counting Crows, You Me At Six, First Aid Kit, Sheppard, Jessie Ware, The Struts, Jess Glynne and Kool & The Gang will also now play the event over the weekend of June 11th-14th.
Fleetwood Mac’s headline appearance will be an exclusive for the UK this year. “It’s no secret that Fleetwood Mac have been on my wishlist for The Isle of Wight Festival for some time now, so I’m very pleased and extremely proud to have them headline next year’s event,” organiser John Giddings said when they were confirmed. “With Christine now back in the band too, it is going to be a momentous occasion, a moment in music history.”
