30 November 2009

Jay-Z will headline the main stage on Friday 11th June with The Strokes on Saturday 12th. Whilst Sunday's headliner is yet to be revealed, they will be sharing the stage with 'special guest' Pink. Veterans Blondie will make an appearance on the Saturday.

The Big Top will be treated to a spectacular Saturday night headline set from recently reformed dance legends Orbital.

Entertaining the earlybirds on the Thursday night in the Big Top will be  Squeeze.

John Giddings, the festival's director says: “Ever since I heard the first Strokes album, I've wanted them for the Isle of Wight. Jay-Z and Pink are two of the best live acts I have ever seen and the Blondie hits speak for themselves. I can't wait!”
