Isle of Wight Festival 2013: Bon Jovi Sunday headliner

Following on from yesterday’s announcement of Friday headliners The Stone Roses for the Isle of Wight Festival, organisers have just announced at Grammy Award winning Bon Jovi will be making their way to the Island next June.

They’ll be closing the Main Stage on Sunday 16th June.

Jon Bon Jovi, says: “The Isle of Wight Festival is legendary and we’re excited to join in the long tradition of Rock ‘n’ Roll history. We are honoured to be the headliners on the Main Stage Sunday night. This will mark our first visit to the island and I expect it will prove to be a highlight of our tour and of 2013.”

John Giddings, the Festival’s promoter, says: “I can’t imagine a better rock band with more hits to close our Sunday night. The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen are hard acts to follow – but I think they’ll do it!”
