The Stone Roses for Isle of Wight Festival 2013

The Stone Roses are the first act to be announced for next summer's Isle of Wight Festival.

Ian Brown and co. will headline the Main Stage on Friday 14th June, and this will be the band's only UK festival appearance in 2013.

Last year saw the four-piece return with a summer of sold out shows, the Manchester band mesmerised one million fans across Europe and Asia. Now, the classic line-up of Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani (aka Gary Mounfield) and Reni (aka Alan Wren) will be headed to the Isle of Wight Festival for the very first time.

John Giddings, the Festival's promoter, says, "When you talk about the soundtrack of our lives, The Stone Roses are embedded in it. I am so proud to get them to our island- they will kick the weekend off with a bang."

The dates for the twelfth Isle of Wight festival are confirmed as from Thursday 13th until Sunday 16th June 2013. There are no acts confirmed yet for 2013. For the line-up rumours as available please click here.
