SEE SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY ON AN ISLE OF WIGHT HOLIDAY

Those people taking a holiday on the Isle of Wight later this year will have the opportunity to see this British music legend in concert.

Sir Paul McCartney will be the headline act on the final day of the Isle of Wight Festival at Seaclose Park, Newport, from 11-13 June.

The singer-songwriter achieved worldwide fame in the 1960s as part of The Beatles and has gone on to enjoy continued success as a solo artist.

Commenting on his forthcoming appearance on the Isle of Wight, Sir Paul said: “I always remember hearing such great things about this festival and it has such a sense of history with the likes of Jimi Hendrix playing there the first time round.

“This will be my first show on the Isle of Wight and I’m looking forward to a rollicking night of rock ‘n’ roll.  

In addition to Sir Paul, other world-class artists performing on Sunday’s Main Stage include Pink, Editors, Spandau Ballet and Friendly Fires.  
Across the course of the weekend over 45 acts will take to the stage including Jay-Z, Blondie, The Strokes, Florence + The Machine, Biffy Clyro, Crowded House, Paloma Faith, Mr. Hudson, Orbital, La Roux, Marina and the Diamonds and many more.
