Biffy Clyro, Calvin Harris and Rudimental are among the first wave of acts to be announced for the Isle of Wight festival 2014.
The Scottish rock band will headline the Friday night of the event, which is expected to run 12-15 June next year.
Fellow Scot Calvin Harris is also expected to perform alongside electronic act Rudimental, Passenger, 1975 and pop veterans The Waterboys.
Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro said: ‘We are over the moon to announce that we will headline the main stage of the Isle of Wight festival next year on Friday 13 June. To follow the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Bob Dylan and Pearl Jam is an honour. We cannot wait to get back to this iconic festival and this beautiful island!’
John Giddings, the festival promoter, added: ‘Friday night is going to kick it out of the park with Biffy and Calvin and special guests Rudimental – I can’t wait … having Passenger and The 1975 already on board we’re set for one of our most contemporary years – with the class of The Waterboys complementing the young guns nicely.’
Early bird tickets go on sale at 09:00 on 12 December. Visit the festival website to find out more.
