Faithless and Stereophonics have been announced as the latest headliners for the Isle of Wight Festival 2016, co-headlining the Friday slot on 10th June 2016.

The two acts join Queen on the 2016 billing, who are set to play the Sunday slot, and will be fronted by Adam Lambert as the lead singer for the performance.

Stereophonics’ frontman Kelly Jones talked about headlining the festival, saying “I love playing the Isle Of Wight Festival. I got to steer the boat over last time. Captain of the ship and honked the horn! Only the captain gets to honk the horn. This will be our third time at the festival…. I’ll leave my white suit at home this time though!”

Faithless were also pleased to be playing Isle of Wight again, saying: “We can’t wait to return to play such an iconic festival for the second time. We were proud to be part of its relaunch in 2005 and it’s an absolute pleasure to be invited back.”

Festival promoter John Giddings added: “We are delighted to welcome Stereophonics and Faithless back to the Isle of Wight Festival to co-headline the Friday night. Stereophonics continue to prove they are still on top with a new number one album and they are absolutely brilliant live. Likewise Faithless, who are currently celebrating their 20th year, have had hit after hit, and I know the crowds at the festival are going to go crazy when they bring their live set up to the Friday night. Looking forward to catching their sets!”

The Isle of Wight Festival 2016 will take place on the 10th to the 12th of June at Seaclose Park in Newport.
