The festival’s promoter John Giddings said: ‘I’m so happy to have secured Arcade Fire as our first headliner. David Bowie recommended them and I’ve been a fan ever since.’

Fans are currently awaiting the release of Arcade Fire’s fifth studio album.

This year’s Isle of Wight Festival was headlined by The Who, Queen + Adam Lambert, Stereophonics and Faithless.

Mr Giddings added: ‘This year was an incredible year and I’m ready for us to come back even better in 2017.’
