Yet more acts have today been added to the world class line up of this year’s Isle of Wight Festival. James, Doves, Ocean Colour Scene, Paloma Faith, The Saturdays, Shakespears Sister and Daisy Dares You will all make their way to Seaclose Park to perform at the iconic festival, which takes place Friday 11 – Sunday 13 June 2010.

This comes hot on the heels of the news that international superstars Jay-Z, The Strokes, Blondie, Pink, Orbital and Squeeze are also taking to the stage to start the festival season in true Isle of Wight style! 

Headlining The Big Top on Sunday 13 June will be Manchester’s finest, James. The band spearheaded the Madchester movement in the early nineties and received universal acclaim with hits including the anthemic Sit Down, Laid, Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) and Born Of Frustration.

Doves will be taking to the Main Stage on Friday 11 June. The band, also from Manchester, is made up of twin brothers Jez and Andy Williams along with school friend Jimi Goodwin. Their 2000 album release, Lost Souls, was heralded a masterpiece on its release and was nominated for a prestigious Mercury Music Prize. The eagerly anticipated follow up, Kingdom of Rust, was released earlier this year.

Birmingham's kings of rock 'n' folk Ocean Colour Scene will play the Big Top on Sunday. The band are set to release their hotly anticipated ninth studio album, entitled Saturday, in the New Year as they approach their 21st anniversary together. Little did they know back then that by the release of their second album, Moseley Shoals, Ocean Colour Scene would be bonafide rock stars with hits including The Day We Caught The Train and The Riverboat Song leaving an indelible print on music-lovers everywhere.

The force of nature that answers to the name Paloma Faith will be bringing her brand of bluesy soul to the festival as she plays the Main Stage on Saturday afternoon. An ex-magician’s assistant, burlesque performer and actress, Paloma burst on to the music scene with tracks including Stone Cold Sober and New York and is sure to electrify the audience with her renowned live performances.

Pop princesses The Saturdays will be making their festival debut at The Big Top on Saturday. The band stormed into the charts in 2008 and have enjoyed hit after hit since then, ensuring the audience is in for a very sexy, sassy musical treat.

Shakespears Sister was formed in 1988 by ex Bananarama singer songwriter Siobhan Fahey and, along with Marcella Detroit, enjoyed massive success with worldwide hits including Stay and You’re History. In 2009, Fahey began performing again and released a new album entitled Songs From The Red Room.

Fifteen-year-old Daisy Coburn, better known as Daisy Dares You will be heading to the Big Top on Friday. Tipped as the UK’s answer to Avril Lavigne, Daisy has exploded on to the scene and is expected to do big things in 2010 thanks to her unique brand of exuberant pop-rock.
