Neil Young will headline the Isle Of Wight Festival on June 14. The veteran rocker will close the three day festival which begins on June 12.

Festival organiser John Giddings has admitted that Neil Young had been on the festival’s shopping list since its inception in 2003.

“His music is part of my life and has inspired generations ever since,” he said. “I'm sure that his performance will be talked about for years to come.”

As previously reported, it sees Young join other headliners The Prodigy (June 12) and Razorlight and Stereophonics (June 13). Basement Jaxx, The Ting Tings and Pendulum have also been confirmed for the bash.
