The Pixies are the latest band to be confirmed for this year’s Isle Of Wight Festival. They’ve been given the pre-Neil Yong slot on June 14th for what will be the group’s only UK festival appearance this year.
Since their reformation in 2004 they have played only intermittent shows, including a headline slot at the 2005 Reading festival. IOW festival promoter John Giddings told the NME: "It was hard to think of someone capable of complimenting the musical talents of Neil Young, but once I had the idea it was blindingly obvious.
"It will surely be a legendary day on the Isle Of Wight."
The line up for the festival so far is:
The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, The Ting Tings, Pendulum, Stereophonics, Razorlight, Neil Young, The Pixies and The Charlatans.
