Organisers of the Isle of Wight Festival have announced that 80s singers Boy George and Alison Moyet will play at this year’s event.
This morning’s announcement has also revealed that Katy B, Fall Out Boy, Ella Eyre, Tom Odell and Suede will join the line-up for the Seaclose Park event between 12th-15th June.
American-rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers have already been announced as the Saturday night headliner, alongside the Kings of Leon for Sunday night and Biffy Clyro for Friday night. The Vamps, Travis, Duke Dumont, Clean Bandit, Dappy and John Newman add to one of the hottest line-ups in recent years with what is set to be a Summer to remember.
John Giddings, the Festival’s promoter said:
“It just gets better and better. We are honoured that these incredible artists are coming to our festival to kick off the summer festival season in style.”
Tom Odell said:
“When I was a bit younger, I used to climb up on the hill near to where I grew up and stare at the Isle of Wight. I remember knowing that a grand music festival was held on the island every year, and I dreamed at some point I would be there, playing. That day has come and I am thrilled.”
With an impressive collection of hits to their name, the iconic band Suede now bring a very special live performance to the Festival. Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Chicago rockers Fall Out Boy are making their debut appearance on the Main Stage. Having just secured her first number 1 album, Katy B knows how to get the crowd on their feet so don’t miss her special performance in the Big Top. Next up, making his Isle of Wight Festival debut is the incredible Tom Odell, plus a welcome return from Starsailor, who are back for an exciting show at the Festival this summer.
Also appearing will be The Pretty Reckless, featuring Taylor Momsen, star of hit TV show Gossip Girl. What’s more we’ll have performances from the talented Alison Moyet and singer songwriter Ella Eyre, whose collaboration with Rudimental scoped the top of the charts last year. Across the weekend festivalgoers will be treated to sets from the iconic Boy George, unstoppable rock & roll quartet The Struts and the critically acclaimed Anna Calvi. And if that wasn’t enough, hot newcomers Amber Run, much loved Manchester band Inspiral Carpets and tribute band The Doors Alive will all be there… Roll on June!
