Queen + Adam Lambert have been unveiled as the first blockbuster headliner of Isle of Wight Festival 2016!

The legendary band and their flamboyant frontman will bring the festival to an emphatic close on Sunday 12th June.

Making it extra special, it will be Queen’s first ever festival show and their only UK gig next year.

Speaking about the headline appearance: "I think Queen at The Isle of Wight Festival is a date that was long overdue. How incredible to take on this challenge at this point in our lives.

“With an injection of new blood in the shape of the incredible Adam Lambert, Queen will be ready to tear it up on this legendary stage in 2016. Freddie would have loved it. Can’t wait."

Isle of Wight Festival supremo John Giddings enthused: "It’s an honour for us to have Queen + Adam Lambert at our festival. It’s the perfect way for us to celebrate our 15th anniversary.

“Queen’s music appeals to people of all generations and it’s hard to think of another band with such a famous collection of songs. It’s going to be an incredible moment for The Isle of Wight Festival when they share these songs with us."
