The Neville Staple Band will headline the Friday night of the family-friendly V-Dub Island which takes place at the County Showground, Northwood, on the Isle of Wight from Thursday 15th until Sunday 19th August 2013.

This year's this year's VDub Island will be rockin' to 'A Message to you Rudy', 'Ghost Town' and 'The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)' when Neville Staple brings his unique mixture of Caribbean, calypso and rhythm & blues to the main stage. One of the great figureheads of the British ska scene of the late 70s, Neville Staple's music fosters a skankin' atmosphere at every gig. Expect all the hits and more from one of ska's most loved artists.

Sunday night headliners The Cuban Brothers were the first act to be confirmed, and further additions to the line-up will be announced over the coming weeks.

Now in its third year the chilled event is part music festival, and part meeting point for lovers of Volkswagens, of all types, but particularly the Beetle and Camper. Although first and foremost a Volkswagen show, the event has a whole host of other activities, and its line-up of music, entertainment and VW-related activities, including the traditional driveout and a 'Show and Shine' competition, attract attendees of all ages.

Tickets are priced at £27.50, with under 16s able to attend free. To buy tickets then, click here.
