Rod Stewart has been announced as one of the headlining acts of the upcoming Isle Of Wight Festival 2017. He joins previously announced headliner Arcade Fire. The festival will be held between June 8 and June 11 at Seaclose Park, Newport.
Festival Promoter John Gidding said, "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."
Stewart also expressed his excitement to be playing the festival. He stated, "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."
