• Paul McCartney to Headline Isle Of Wight 2010

The Isle of Wight Festival has proudly announced that the legendary Paul McCartney will be headlining the Main Stage on Sunday 13 June 2010 bringing this year's festival, which takes place from 11-13 June 2010, to a spectacular close.

Renowned the world over, Paul McCartney awoke a generation giving a fresh sound to rock n' roll, changing the face of music forever, first with The Beatles and then as a critically acclaimed solo artist. Across a career that has spanned over 30 years, he's penned some of the most famous tracks ever written, including Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Live and Let Die and I Saw Her Standing There, meaning this year's festival-goers will be in for something truly special as this living legend performs a rousing set.

Paul McCartney says: "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".

Festival promoter John Giddings adds: "Forty years after Jimi Hendrix performed Hey Joe at Seaclose Park we've finally gotten to Hey Jude. I can't wait!"

Paul's live shows have reached a new legendary status in recent years garnering unprecedented reviews from fans and critics alike wherever he goes. He's pushed boundaries, performed to millions and made global news with monumental shows including performances in Red Square, Russia, outside the Coliseum in Rome, performing live to a NASA space station and the largest outdoor show ever in the Ukraine.

The UK got a recent taste for Paul's live show last Christmas when he bought his 2009 Good Evening Europe tour to a climatic and memorable finale at London's 02 Arena, his only UK show of 2009. Reviews for the show were phenomenal and prove that Paul McCartney is a live experience that no one should miss.

This special show at the Isle of Wight Festival is part of Paul's all new Up And Coming tour which starts in the US in March and comes to the UK and Ireland in June 2010.
