GENRE-defining Primal Scream will play Isle of Wight Festival this summer.

They have influenced countless bands and artists and been widely acclaimed by critics as one of the defining groups of the 1990s.

Now the band returns to the island and takes its inimitable style to headline the Big Top on Thursday night.

They join acts including Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band on the line up for the event, which runs from June 21 to 24 at Seaclose Park, Newport.
