Tinie Tempah to headline Isle of Wight Festival

The Isle of Wight Festival has confirmed that UK British rapper Tinie Tempah will perform this summer.

The 'Frisky' star, who was recently nominated for 4 BRIT Awards, will headline on Saturday, June 11 in the Big Top and joins the likes of Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Kasabian, Tom Jones and The Vaccines on the bill for this year's event. 

An official press release from the festival stated:

"British breakthrough artist Tinie Tempah will showcase not only his lyrical abilities, but his appreciation for an array of sounds, from gritty grime to pop-tinted R&B and dance in the Big Top on Saturday evening. He may be small in stature, but Tinie Tempah is the sound of 2010."
