Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro enthused: “We are over the moon to announce that we will headline the Main Stage of the Isle of Wight Festival next year, on Friday June 13th.

“To follow the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Bob Dylan and Pearl Jam is an honour. We cannot wait to get back to this iconic Festival, and this beautiful island!”

Also playing across the weekend are ‘Let Her Go’ hitmaker Passenger, indie-rock stalwarts The 1975 and folk veterans The Waterboys.

Passenger, aka Michael David Rosenberg, said: “I can't wait to play at the Isle of Wight Festival. I played there on a small stage a few years ago and had an amazing time. It'll be great to get back there!”

Matthew Healy from The 1975 said: "The Isle of Wight Festival has such a rich musical heritage. We can't wait to play there in the summer."
