'Modfather' Paul Weller has been announced to play the Isle of Wight festival this year.

The former frontman for The Jam is set to perform on the festival's main stage on Friday 14 June, before The Stone Roses take the stage for a headline set.

Weller will make a special guest appearance and says of the event, "It's been a while since I've played the Isle of Wight Festival and I'm excited to be playing it this year. It's a great way to kick off the summer."

The festival's promoter, John Giddings, says, "If you like music, you like Paul Weller - he is one of the greatest singer-songwriters this country has produced and we are proud to bring him to our small island off the south coast. We have plenty of pebbles on a beach for him."

As well as The Stone Roses, the other two headline acts are The Killers and Bon Jovi. 

Other acts added to the festival's line-up include I Am Kloot, Lawson and Devlin - as well as previously confirmed acts, including Jake Bugg, The Script, Paloma Faith, Emeli Sande, Ben Howard, The Maccabees, Ellie Goulding and Blondie.

Paul Weller also recently worked with Miles Kane on Kane's second album, with Kane saying that the two did about four songs together - including 'You're Gonna Get It'.

Kane told NME, "It does exactly what it says on the tin. We did about four songs together and we're gonna record one more...

"It's a slowie and we're gonna try and do that as a live thing in [London's] Sarm Studios."
