The Isle of Wight Festival is renowned for bringing in the biggest names as well as showcasing new and upcoming talent and this is reflected in the line-up of Friday’s ladies’ night.
Suzi Quatro is a force to be reckoned with; with over two decades of world-wide chart success, including two number one hits in the UK, behind her along with an acclaimed career as an actress, playwright and presenter on BBC Radio2. Suzi has taken her rightful place as one of the world’s most exceptional talents and is sure to get the Big Top rocking along.
After emerging in 2004 as a hugely successful musician Juliette Lewis released her third album last year entitled ‘Terra Incognita’ - unveiling a new and exciting sound. Renowned for her stage presence, the Big Top crowds will experience Lewis’ punk rock attitude at its best.
Marina Diamandis of Marina and the Diamonds is currently enjoying top 20 success with the single ‘Hollywood’.
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’.
I Blame Coco, fronted by Coco Sumner, AKA Eliot Pauline Sumner and daughter of Gordon Sumner AKA ‘Sting’ are being touted to have a successful future.
