Kings of Leon have been confirmed as the third and final Main Stage headliners at Isle of Wight Festival this summer.

In what will be their only UK festival appearance of 2014, the Tennessee rockers will bring the eclectic event to a close on Sunday 15th June.

The Followills join the previously confirmed Friday night bill-toppers Biffy Clyro and Saturday’s headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Seaclose Park event.

John Giddings, the Festival’s promoter, said: “It’s a rock ‘n’ roll weekend! Biffy Clyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kings of Leon- rock the Wight!”

Also newly added are Travis, The Horrors, The Strypes, Swim Deep, Peace and The Horrors.

Travis said: “We’re made up that we are making a trip back to the Isle of Wight, last time was a top gig. There's a lot of rock and roll history gone down on that little island and it's great to be a part of it again.”

The 1975, Calvin Harris, Rudimental, Passenger and The Waterboys are also playing across the weekend.

Taking place at Seaclose Park from Thursday 12th to Sunday 15th June 2014, tickets to Isle of Wight Festival are on sale now. Head to www.isleofwightfestival.com for more info.
