John Giddings said: ‘We’ve always supported fresh, new and exciting talent at the Isle of Wight Festival.

‘It’s what music festivals are all about.

‘We had the Blossoms in 2015 and they’ve just been nominated for a Brit award. We are looking forward to seeing what the Isle of Wight 2017’s talents have in store for us.’

British rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen released their debut album The Balcony in September 2014 and went on to win best newcomer at the BBC Awards later that year.
