One of the greatest British bands to grace the charts over the last 20 years are set to headline in the Big Top at this summers Isle Of Wight Festival, with the band’s front man Tim Burgess also selecting the entire line-up for the Big Top on Sunday 14th June.

Tim will be creating an eclectic line up of both up and coming bands, as well as established favourites for the second visit of the Big Top to the festival, following it’s previous success featuring the likes of Feeder, The Sugababes and The Stranglers.

The Isle Of Wight Festival has a special place in the band’s heart since they played at its first reincarnation in 2002, so you can certainly expect Tim and the boys to pull out all the stops for what promises to be a line-up not to be missed!

Other bands booked to play include Basement Jaxx and The Prodigy. The festival takes place 12th – 14th June at Seaclose Park, Newport, Isle of Wight.

Tickets are on sale now, for tickets and more information check out the official Isle of Wight Festival Web site.
