Stevie Wonder has today been announced as the second headliner of this summer’s Bestival.

The legendary soul singer, who last performed at a UK festival at Glastonbury back in 2010, will join New Order at the top of the bill when he closes the event on Sept 9, with the Friday night headlining act still to be confirmed.

Organiser Rob Da Bank revealed he was delighted that Wonder had agreed to play:

“What can I say? What a day! I see part of my job at Bestival as giving you acts you may never have seen or will get the chance to see again… So I’m hoping you feel as happy as I do as we announce the legendary Stevie Wonder as Sunday night headliner!

“A winner of 25 Grammy Awards, the most ever for a solo artist, this man’s music has always been part of the da Bank home listening experience and also a favourite at our Sunday Best and Bestival parties and this is a very rare chance to see a legend in action. See you there!”

Other artists appearing at the event, which takes place at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight, include Emeli Sande, Rizzle Kicks, Friendly Fires, The XX and Sigur Ros.
