Playing together for the first time since 1986, The Boomtown Rats – fronted by Bob Geldof – will play the main stage at the Isle of Wight Festival on Sunday June 16, joining a star-studded weekend line-up including The Stone Roses, The Killers and Bon Jovi.
Geldof said: “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.”
