Bon Jovi have been announced as the Sunday Night headliner at next years Isle Of Wight Festival.
The famous New Jersey band will have the Isle Of Wight Festival audience singing along to hits like Living On A Prayer, Always, It's My Life & Wanted Dead Or Alive. It has also been confirmed that Bon Jovi would be closing the festival on Sunday night.
When the announcement was made about Bon Jovi playing the Isle Of Wight Festival he (Jon Bon Jovi) also said that them playing the Isle Of Wight, would be a UK Festival exclusive. This is along with confirmed yesterday The Stone Roses, who also said them playing the Isle Of Wight is a UK Festival exclusive as well.
On the Isle Of Wight Festival's Official Website John Giddings, the festival's organiser said this:
' I can't imagine a better rock band with more hits to close our Sunday Night. The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen are hard acts to follow- but I think they'll do it!'
Also on the Isle Of Wight Festival's website, Jon Bon Jovi added this:
'The Isle Of Wight Festival is legendary and we're excited to join in the long tradition of Rock 'n' Roll history. We are honoured to be headliners on the Main Stage Sunday night. This will mark our first visit to the island and I expect it will prove to be a highlight of our tour and of 2013.'
The announcement of Bon Jovi playing came after weeks of speculation about them playing the event, after in an interview with The Daily Star Bon Jovi let slip that he would be playing the festival. For more on that story click here.
