Rod Stewart has been announced as the second headliner for next year's Isle of Wight Festival, following on from Arcade Fire's recent confirmation.

The veteran singer will top the bill on the Sunday night (June 11) at the Seaclose Park, Newport event. Stewart has never performed at the festival before.

Commenting on the news, the vocalist said: "I have been very lucky to have played many of the world’s finest venues and festivals – but never played the legendary IOW Festival. I am so excited to put that right. June can’t come round soon enough."

Isle of Wight Festival promoter John Giddings added: “I’ve wanted Rod Stewart to play at the festival for a number of years – he’s an incredible icon with a career that’s spanned over five decades so it’s impossible to not be a fan. On Sunday night he’ll bring an incredible energy to create an unforgettable moment."
