Now in its sixth year, festival organisers Solo have set the standard for

Festival promoters Solo said: Bands love coming to the island and
feeling the tradition. Tennyson was right about it's magical quality.'

Friday night headliners Snow Patrol were the biggest selling band of 2006
selling over 1.5 million copies of ‚Eyes Open. Before their huge
stateside success, the Irish foursome first performed at the festival back
in 2005 and we are proud to welcome them back for what is set to be an
unmissable headline performance.

Ahead of their string of sold out Wembley Stadium shows and fresh from winning a trio of awards for Best Live Act at the recent Q Awards, MTV Awards and Brit Awards 2007, the almighty Muse will do what they do best as they perform live as Isle of Wight Festival headliners on the Saturday.

Muse said: ‚The past year has been truly amazing for us and performing
live is what we‚are all about. Getting the opportunity to do that at the
Isle of Wight Festival is an honour. Some of our biggest heroes played the
festival back in the 70’s. It is steeped in history and we cant wait to
be a part of that.
