The Isle Of Wight Festival have been lucky enough to get the band to reform for a the festival and play the Sunday and will be playing the Main Stage. Bob Geldof will be fronting the band, as they return after being away for 26 years; and haven't played together since 1986.
The Boomtown Rats have one iconic music awards such as Brit Awards, Grammy Awards and Ivor Novellors.
Bob Geldof had this to say about playing the festival:
'Playing again with The Rats and doing those great songs again will be exciting afresh. We were an amazing band and I just feel it's the right time to re-Rat, to go back to Boomtown for a visit. Also, I’ve always fancied playing the Isle of Wight Festival ever since I hitched there in the good/bad days when I was a kid. I saw The Who, Doors (I think) Hendrix and Leonard Cohen, who incidentally blew Hendrix off the stage, and Kris Kristofferson, who was also amazing - God, so many cool bands.'
