Tim Burgess and co will be taking care of the Big Top...

The Charlatans are to curate the Big Top at this year's Isle Of Wight Festival. The band will be headliners of the tent on Saturday June 14, and will also choose all the acts that appear. "I'm proud to  have been asked to curate the Big Top’s line-up at this year’s Isle of Wight Festival," says Tim Burgess. "I have already approached quite a few impressive new bands (some you will know, some you might not). The Isle of Wight Festival is a special festival to me so all up and coming bands, be on the look out – you could be taking the stage at The Isle of Wight."

It's the second year the Big Top has appeared at the festival. Already confirmed to play this year's event are The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Pendulum and the Ting Tings.
