Legendary hip hop pioneers Run DMC will headline next year’s Isle Of Wight festival on Friday, June 9th.

“We absolutely love playing in the UK, it’s always such a great reception,” they’ve said. “You guys rock! To be given the chance to play such an iconic UK festival is huge and we’re really looking forward to it!”

The Golden Age act are booked to co-headline with DJ David Guetta, both joining previously announced headliners Rod Stewart and, in a UK exclusive, Arcade Fire.

“The Isle of Wight Festival has always been known for its variety in music and this year is no different,” John Giddings added. “To have the world’s first and most inspiring hip hop group headlining alongside one of the world’s biggest electronic DJ’s is fantastic. I’m also really excited about George Ezra, Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, Bastille and Jack Savoretti. Again there’s something for everyone.

“I know the crowds at the festival are going wild for all the acts, not just the headliners.”
