The Police to headline Isle of Wight festival

The Police are set to follow in the footsteps of The Rolling Stones by headlining one of the UK's biggest music festivals.

The newly-reformed group will close England's three-day Isle Of Wight Festival on June 15 next year - their only UK festival show next year.

John Giddings, the event's promoter, says: "It's a coup to get The Police for the festival.

"We're very happy to have the biggest tour of the last two years stopping by the Isle of Wight."
