The Isle of Wight Festival has been announced to be broadcast live in 3D.

Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Kasabian and Pulp are confirmed to perform at the event with the Sky 3D channel and Sky Arts for the cutting-edge broadcast.

Festival promoter John Giddings, of Solo Music Agency, said: "It is incredibly exciting for our 10th anniversary to be at the forefront of television broadcasting in the 21st century.

"And those unlucky people who missed out on buying a ticket will now have the opportunity to see it in their living rooms more realistically than a festival has ever been seen before - bring it on."

John Cassy, channel director of Sky Arts and Sky 3D, said: "The Isle of Wight Festival attracts some of the biggest names in music and this year's line-up is no exception.

"Broadcasting live and in 3D for the first time is an amazing opportunity to bring viewers closer than ever to the real festival experience."

The broadcast live will present at least a day two hours over the weekend of June 10 to 12 at Seaclose Park, Newport.

At the music festival event acts including The Cure, Pendulum, Primal Scream, PJ Harvey, Brian Wilson and DJ Shadow.

Festival curator and Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank said: "Bestival in 3D will be a mind-blowing explosion of colour and multi-dimensional music and mayhem."
