Beatles legend Paul McCartney added to 2010 Isle of Wight Festival lineup

Sir Paul McCartney has been confirmed for the 2010 Isle of Wight lineup and is set to close the festival on Sunday 13th June.

Macca will be joining the already splendid Isle of Wight festival lineup with, Doves, Spandau Ballet, Editors, James, Ocean Colour Scene and Jay Z.

Sir Paul has never played at Isle of Wight Festival despite The Beatles mentioning the festival in their song “When I’m 64″.

Sir Paul said ““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”.

Isle of Wight Festival takes place at Seaclose Park in Newport on the Isle of Wight from June 11th to June 13th.

Tickets for the  Isle of Wight Festival are priced at £150 for the weekend with camping and £130 without, and are available through the official ticket site – Seetickets.com
