The first headliners for the 2016 Isle of Wight Festival have been announced.

Queen and Adam Lambert will be topping the bill as they close the annual music festival on June 12.

This will be Queen’s first ever festival show and is their only UK booking for next year.

Speaking about the upcoming festival, Brian May said:

“I think Queen at The Isle of Wight Festival is a date that was long overdue. How incredible to take on this challenge at this point in our lives.”

On Queen’s guest frontman, the ‘We Will Rock You’ guitarist stated:

“With an injection of new blood in the shape of Adam Lambert, Queen will be ready to tear it up on this legendary stage in 2016.”

He concluded: “Freddie would have loved it. Can’t wait.”

Queen and Adam Lambert recently announced two further festival shows in the form of a headline slot at Rock in Lisboa and Sweden’s Rock Festival.
