The American rock band will be performing an exclusive UK & Ireland performance on Saturday 14th June, their first in this country since 2007.

Speaking about headlining the Isle of Wight Festival, Red Hot Chili Peppers said:
“To headline the Isle of Wight Festival is a once in a lifetime opportunity, following in the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. When we were offered the slot, we jumped at the chance…it will be our only show in the UK/Ireland this year…so we intend to make it really special.”
John Giddings, the Festival’s promoter said:
“Finally- we’ve got them! One of the most exciting rock bands of the modern era come to visit…and judging by the performances I have seen previously, will be a highlight in the music history of the festival…Rock the Wight!”
Festival organisers Solo have previously announced Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro as the Friday night headliners alongside DJ, singer, songwriter, and record producer Calvin Harris and special guests Rudimental. With more performances from Passenger, The 1975 and The Waterboys, 2014 is shaping up to be one of the biggest yet.
