Festival promoters Solo said: "Bands love coming to the island and feeling the tradition. Tennyson was right about it's magical quality."

Muse said: "The past year has been truly amazing for us and performing live is what we’re all about. Getting the opportunity to do that at the Isle of Wight Festival is an honour. Some of our biggest heroes played the festival back in the 70’s. It’s steeped in history and we cant wait to be a part of that."
