Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers have been announced as headliners of the Isle of Wight Festival.

The rock and roll band top the main stage on Friday, June 22, two days before Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band close the festival.

Festival promoter John Giddings said: "We are proud to present Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers at the Isle of Wight Festival finally.

"It has taken years to achieve but I'm sure it will be worth the wait - they are one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time."

Following Springsteen's booking, Giddings had teased the possibility of an American Trilogy of headliners while also promising more dance and urban artists on the Big Top stage.
