The headline performance will be Bruce Springsteen's first visit to the Island and only his 3rd festival performance in the UK to date. Bruce Springsteen will appear with the E Street Band to deliver songs like 'Born in the U.S.A.' and 'Born to Run'.

John Giddings, the Festival's promoter, said, "It's taken years to get him here, but it will have been worth the wait - he is one of the greatest acts of all time, it's going to be a classic year..."

The festival has moved into the fallow Glastonbury Festival weekend for one year only. The dates for the eleventh Isle of Wight Festival have been announced as from Friday 22nd until Sunday 24th June 2012.

The festival now in it's eleventh year, takes place at Seaclose Park, Newport, Isle of Wight with a larger capacity this year of 90,000. The festival has a large main stage in a natural amphitheatre that showcases well known rock and indie names, a legendary act or two, and rising stars, in a relaxed festival atmosphere. There are no acts confirmed yet for 2012.
